It's true. I live in Knoxville Tennessee, and people are so sick here, they are closing public schools next Monday and Tuesday because of it. more than 8,000 students were out sick today. WATE NEWS

I am home sick with it myself... They say there are 3 strings of viruses going around. I believe it.

🙁 🙁

I hope this isn't happening everywhere.

For those of you who believe in the power of prayer, I (we) sure could use your help 😉
 
i haven't really been around anyone thats sick, but my throat is starting to get sore 🙁
i hope i don't get sick...
 
A couple cases of bacterial meningitis have broke out here. One young girl has already died from it.
 
Like 1/3 our school was out during midterms. That really sucks for them, they are all getting Cs-Fs on their report cards for the semester because of it.
 
Isla, if this had started in Texas, I really would have started to get freaked :Q
 
Well, no matter if I'm stuck home sick all weekend.. I still have you guys here at AT to keep me company 🙂
 
Lol, well I'm in Dallas.. and have just caught something myself.. and I noticed today the "sniffling rate" during classse has increased by about 500%. So watch out😉
 
I have to say that the movie (Gary Sinise!) is one of the best of all time. Yes, we have it on DVD.

The book is awesome too... the long version.

To tell you the truth, that is some of the most realistic fiction I have ever read.

So....

Who are you going to dream of tonight?

😀
 
People are getting sick up here, but not that bad.
Damm I wish school was out...actually..not really.
I got sweet courses so I'll go 🙂
 
I was sick Monday and Tuesday ... was fine monday morning .. but about lunch time I started feeling bad and my head felt like ti was melting ... lady I worked with came out and said .. .you have a fever dont you ... you look super flushed ... another woman told me I looked rough ... I felt rough ... went home an hour early stayed home the next day and luckily was better by wednesday ... I recommend the new snapple elements drink that has carrot juice and echinacia .. I strongly believe it helped me get well quickly ...
 
Yeah, The Stand was the first thing that entered my head when I saw this thread! It was on TV a couple of weeks ago, spread over 3 or 4 nights I think. First 2 episodes are good, but I'm not so keen on the second half of the film.

But any way, you're all doomed 😛
 
The Stand was an excellent book. Never seen the film (I figured that they would make a butchery of the book as happens often, but guess I was wrong. Must go see).

Nothing out of the normal kinds of sickness up here in Eugene, OR
 
The Stand rocked! 😀 The movie was a joke though... that's not the way *I* remember it playing out... all the characters were wrong! 😉

Many, many people are sick at my school. I have had two colds in three weeks.

It's ridiculous! My spanish teacher has 6 classes and she says that an average of 5 kids from each class are home sick.

Many more are sick in school though!
 
vi_edit... people are dropping like flies out here in San Antonio. Well... not quite that bad, but it it could easily be. A LOT of people are beginning to get the sniffles/cough. And they still keep coming to school! 😕 :| One person at my school has died from a disease in the last week. We're still not quite sure what it was, but it wasn't meningitis.
 
We're experiencing a bacterial meningitis outbreak in my area (notrh of Houston). People are getting vaccinations like crazy. One young girl has already died. It has everyone scared crazy.
