Kilmer Elementary In Rogers Park Reopening After Swine Flu Case

CHICAGO (AP) -- The first Illinois school to close because of swine flu is getting ready to reopen.

Chicago Public Schools spokeswoman Monique Bond says Kilmer Elementary School on the city's North Side will reopen on Wednesday.

The school closed last week when a 12-year-old student fell ill.

Officials say other Illinois schools also are reopening after closing last week.

And a U.S. health official said Tuesday that schools no longer need to close because of swine flu.

36 THOUSAND Americans expire each year from regular flu season. 56 THOUSAND American contract AIDS each year.
Why the media hype for what has amounted to ONE fatali teeee?
Oh, well, you have to keep the people terrified all the time. They are easier to manipulate that way, like forcing through regressive healthcare "reform".
