My wife is a nurse in Nanning and she told me that the Swine Flu cases has been increasing the last few days.

Yeah, it's a problem everywhere. My wife told me that in Beijing it's growing by 200 new cases per day. Not for sure where she got that information, perhaps WOM. Found this though.

I can't say whether it's swine flu or not, but two of my neighbors told me that their kids attend the largest primary school in Chaoyang District and over 1/2 of the kids are out sick.

With a school student population of 2,400, we had 48 kids missing in action on Friday. One of my classes, I had 8 out of 40 out sick.

 

My son was sick last week with a cold and fever. I couldn't accept the fever as being part of a cold, so we took him to the doctor. It was just a cold. Don't know where the fever came from but he is feeling better now. He was never really "sick", just congestion, cough, sore throat, sniffles...and a fever?

 

We have to take his temperature every morning and track on a form the school sent home. According to the instructions, this is a permanent policy. No off-season...take his temp everyday, regardless of the time of year.

42 Middle School in Chongqing closed for a week, Has 5 cases so they decided to just shut down for the week to try and stop spread.
