I am posting a new update even though there is very little news to report. I continue to monitor the CDC website for changes to the guidance for schools. This guidance has not changed since August 31, 2009. In general, the severity of the H1N1 flu has not changed this year. I also continue to monitor student and staff attendance at school. The first week of September we had a few schools with student absences exceeding 10% by a little bit. This has come down in the last couple of weeks. I have posted student attendance data to the Barrow County Schools H1N1 Information page. I will try to update this report every few days and at least once per week. That is all the news that I have at the moment.
The purpose of this blog is provide updates and easy access to resources regarding the H1N1 pandemic Flu and Barrow County Schools response to it. =DISCLAIMER* The information posted on this blog is my best interpretation of the facts as I have them. I am not a medical doctor and nothing on this blog should be construed as offering medical advice. I am simply relaying the facts as I understand them.
