Prior Park got it quite badly last term. The headmaster decided not to close the school, partly because of public exams but also because of the practical difficulties in closing a boarding school. I think he also thought it was no worse than a normal outbreak of winter flu.
I haven't heard any reports from anywhere this term, maybe the media have lost interest?
I've no idea about insurance.

Everyone under 60 is at risk TIPSY!!! - makes no odds whether you know it is H1N1 or not... just seen lad from a school where "lots" staretd with illness yesterday.... tenatively checked ... not DS's school.T.i.p.s.y wrote:Lots of vomiting and fever at my sons school but only heard that through my son too. DS is severly asthmatic so I will be annoyed if it's SF and they didn't inform us as asthmatics are in the at risk group.
As for school fees we have been told that we are insured if they are off for 4+ days.

I'm at a loss to understand why they will rush through the vaccination - I heard yesterday that parents of babies were being asked if they would mind allowing their babies to be tested upon
I understand that it is a terrible disease for some high risk groups but surely it is better to make sure the vaccine is safe before allowing it to be used on the general population?
My daughter won't have the jab, but her syptoms are fairly mild, usually only obvious during the spring and summer months when the pollen count is high, so hopefully she should be ok, but it is still a worry
