HUNTSVILLE (September 29, 2009)--All schools in the Huntsville Independent School District are closed until Thursday because of the number of students and staffers who are sick.
A statement on the school's Web site says classes and extracurricular activities Tuesday and Wednesday at district’s eight campuses, with about 6,300 students, are canceled "due to a high rate of absences."
Concerns about swine flu and other illnesses have led to numerous absences at schools statewide.

Oh, one last thing about this "point" matter. My entire, and only point is that they, the medical community, by their own admission, stopped testing for H1N1, and are claiming that any illness that remotely resembles the symptoms of H1N1 as H1N1. I find this disturbing, and with all these reports about people contracting the H1N1, how do we know, for sure, that they really have it? When anything that has any one of the symptoms is being reported as H1N1, that makes the case count exaggerated. And this causes unnecessary hysteria. This is causing school closures as we see in this article, workplace vaccination mandates as seen in New York's Health Care field. Even here in Texas, children are force to be vaccinated to enroll is some districts. Now, without spouting off insults, or false claims of conspiracy theories. I asked you a simple question: "Would you, as a parent, want a doctor to misdiagnose your child, and then administer the wrong treatment?"

My sarcasm got the exact reaction I thought it would. hahaha I did some research of my own. How's that Cricket working out for you? I also think you were a bit of a slacker. Your list of names are not the same and if you go look again you will see it's not only me trying to further my point. Just face it, other people can have an opinion that differs from yours so get over it. How about DS.......what does that stand for?
