300 Schools in the US shut

From the Washington Post:

"Nearly 300 schools nationwide were closed yesterday to avoid the spread of swine flu, and education and health officials in the Washington area and elsewhere were working in tandem to reassure worried parents and weigh whether more campuses should be shuttered.

The bulk of the closures were in Texas, where the 147-school Fort Worth system closed for 10 days after confirmation of one case of swine flu at one campus and probable cases at three others."
