Here in the Seattle, area, 70% of confirmed cases are among kids ages 5-18. There's a nearby High School with over 300 flu cases (uncormfirmed), but the school isn't closed - whereas in the early days of this H1N1 scare they closed several Seattle schools for as few as 1-2 unconfirmed cases. The reason why the school with 300 apparent cases isn't closed: low/no mortality.

I say - let the virus run its course, infect as many as possible, and possibly build a bit of immunity for when it turns on us and comes back more lethal. I can say that, having had the flu about 1 week ago, and not being a doctor or anyone with the slightest concern for the public health. Life's a crapshoot sometimes.
