Kids Who Cried "Pig"? Suspected Flu Cases Increase

Kids must be smarter than we give them credit--those little stinkers might be pulling a "Oh, I'm sick, I have swine flu and can't go to school" after hearing Madrona K-8 closed for an entire week. Currently, seven of King County's ten suspected cases of Swine flu H1N1 flu have infected children and teens. More local schools where a "suspected case" has attended classes are now closed as a precaution. Schools include: Madrona (Seattle) K-8, Aki Kurose Middle School (Seattle), and Stevens Elementary (Seattle) are all currently closed and set to re-open May 8; Woodmont K-8 (Des Moines) closed through May 11; Lakes High School (Tacoma) closed Friday, only pending three case results; Odyssey Elementary (Everett) closed only on Friday.
