A2: Flu

The blog of Ann Arbor’s Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School gives an update on the H1N1 flu: “There has been a decrease in the number of reported H1N1 flu cases over the past few weeks in Washtenaw County. As we monitor flu activity in our schools, we have seen a few schools with 10-14% rate of absenteeism due to flu illness. We have not reached the 30% absentee rate that has been seen in other districts across the state….But while the news is good, please know that flu activity in the schools is already higher than what is seen during the peak of many regular flu seasons.” [Source]
