Reply #23: What ever happened to "use your own good judgment?"

The source you provided said that kids could "incubate" longer before becoming sick. So a kid catches it, goes home with it, is a "long incubator" and shows up back at school just in time to sneeze on a bunch of other kids. Voila--you're back to Square One.

And there's plenty of "contact" at those funky mall food courts, where the kids hang out in droves, and tables aren't always wiped, and if they are, it's often with a nasty old rag with little to no disinfectant properties. And then, there's those arcades the kids go into, with all the buttons and joysticks--that's a soup of potential germs.
