Our neighboring small town has a "probable" case of swine flu [View All]

I live in Ithaca, NY. Home of Cornell University. If it weren't for Cornell, Ithaca would barely be a dot on the map. It's a small town. Cortland is a neighboring town in my county, and they are now reporting the "probable" case. The local schools are monitoring the situation. There is talk that they may close if it spreads. My daughter's close friend and classmate went to Mexico two weeks ago and today my daughter is home with a sore throat and stuffy nose. She has no fever so the doctor's office said they don't need to see her unless I want to bring her in. I'll wait and see how she's doing. Still, it's a little disconcerting. I guess it's just hitting closer to home now.
