Went to a back to school update from the Health Dept. on August 26th. Lots of talk about the flu, and initial instructions that anyone with a cough or sore throat or nasal congestion -even without a fever- should not be in school. How crazy is that? Sometimes a cold is just a cold, and is not a pandemic. Since then someone in charge has come to their senses and said that the chances of anyone having the flu without having a fever is very rare. Yes, obviously, since fever of rapid onset is THE hallmark symptom of influenza.
I don't want any epidemic either, but common sense dictates, don't you think?
