I found out last night that one school alone had 250 students out yesterday due to the flu. At Brook's school in one class there was 11 of 18 students absent yesterday. The bus drivers are driving double routes because half of the drivers are out with the flu also.
Hopefully everything will be better by Monday. So far school will be in Monday. I will eat and then do party. If there is a significant number of students absent Monday they will close school early for Christmas break I think. Tuesday is the last day of school before Christmas.
Time to get back in the kitchen. I have brown bread in the oven and more peanut brittle waiting to be made.
I hope you feel better soon. This is a nationwide epidemic but the CDC isn't wanting to start a panic. So many people are getting this though. Everytime a phase of this sweeps through, I think of Stephen King's VERY LONG NOVEL I read back in the early 80s called THE STAND. Now THAT was graphic. Take good care of yourself.

Wow. That is a lot of people out. Reminds me of a week at boarding school when everyone had the flu and ther were no beds left in the infirmatory, so the sick were sent back to their dorms, which spread it around more. The school finally shut down when the teachers began to drop like flies! It was the first time since the flu epidemic of 1918 that the school closed down! It's funny now...Margo
