It Has Arrived

"I have a student who is out... with swine flu.". This is the news that a colleague shared with me this morning. Luckily, she was talking about a student in her class, not mine. Unfortunately, her classrooom is across the hall. H1N1 is in the building.

That said, it was here before--last spring. Everyone turned out okay. I'm sure it will be the case again.

Still... it's an odd feeling. I'm not sure if I should be worried or not. At the end of the day, no one knows what to expect. Do the people in charge, the ones who say not to worry, do they really know? Or are they forestalling panic?

Odd times.
