National health officials are pretty sure that we'll be seeing more of H1N1 this fall, just time, yes, for school. The New York Times had a bit to say on this over the weekend.
And for those of you wondering, Worcester Public Schools will continue to require a seven day at-home period for any child who has a fever and other symptoms. Line up those sick days now...
