Hmm, don't really know what to make of this. Seems like it'll basically be business as usual.

My school only has less than 10 cases...so I'll be working this week.

my school had 70 as of thursday and is now shut down til nov. 10th.

i think my school has 15-20 by now. we're still running at full steam though, i doubt they'll be a closure before the third year finals.

A girl in my girlfriend's friend's building who was in her 20s died from it this past week. Other than that, we don't have that much of it around. In the two schools I teach at there's been maybe five or six cases in one school (out of 900 students) and none in the other (70 students, in the boonies). One elementary school in town shut down because of it, but I guess the local school board got livid and told them to re-open.

Yeah...the big concern is how a closure would affect the entrance exams for HS seniors.

I can imagine the hundreds of thousands of complaints from the parents of kids who didn't hit the mark, demanding that the MOE give them another chance, etc.
