Schools are closing to try to stop the spread of the flu. Is this wise or overkill?

It's not the first time.  But yes, when 2/3 of the student are out with flu.....close for a week and make it up at the end of the year.  

Very wise.

This flu virus of 2018 is being compared to the Spanish influenza of 1918. That virus of 1918 was responsible for 20 million deaths. This global pandemic killed that many in one year, while world war 1 had killed that many from 1914-1918. (Revelation 6:2-8)

i think the only ones that should stay home are the kids with the flu or teachers
