One of the schools in Syracuse, NY has one student that contracted the Mexican Flu from association with a student in Queens, NY and the school announced that they will be closed for a week starting on Monday May 4th.
Quoted in part from the news announcement.
“Syracuse, NY — A student at Syracuse’s Ed Smith Elementary School has come down with swine flu, so the school will be closed all this week, Onondaga County Health Commissioner Cynthia Morrow announced today.
The student has a connection to the Queens school where the outbreak was first noticed after students there returned from a trip to Mexico.
The state Health Department laboratory confirmed the student has H1N1 swine origin influenza, Morrow said. The case is not official until the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirms the test, but the state finding is enough to warrant the school be closed, she said”

It would seem that the strain of Mexican Flu that is spreading around might not be as deadly as predicted, however it sure seems that it still is highly contagious and the public should definitely remain aware of it and take special care to lessen the transfer of the virus.
