Area Spring Games Canceled

All Special Olympics Texas Spring Games scheduled for this weekend, May 1-2, have been canceled because of concerns over the spread of swine flu.  This decision was made based on public health recommendations, the cancellation of some host venues and the withdrawal of many participating delegations. Also, it is consistent with the action taken by the University Interscholastic League (UIL).

There seems little to concern us, if you ignore the more hysterical media, but the site below may be helpful to your Team. I expect if you click on your ‘refresh’ icon it will update the map to show you the latest information from the CDC.

If you refer to it as H1N1 flu (its correct name that sounds a little like a radio call sign), rather than ‘swine flu’, you will make life a lot easier for many farmers. Keep in mind too that 30,000 Americans die annually from other strains of flu. I don’t have Canadian stats. To this point there has been only 1 U.S. death from H1N1 and 0 in Canada. Washing your hands lots is the best prevention. Head for your doctor if you get any symptoms of flu to be on the safe side.
