Thank you for sharing this information. I too, share your concern. I understand that people come and go in Waukegan from Mexico and want our community to be prepared if a case of flu shows up here as in Kansas, Texas, California, New York, Nova Scotia, New Zealand...
Getting information out about handwashing and what symptoms to look for are so important.
Could your organization specifically ask that anyone arriving here from Mexico in the last week be extra vigilant and/or for the community to reach out to those people? Especially if they won't hear about this if they don't have students in the school system (bringing home a letter).
Please keep us updated.
103 now dead in Mexico. Cases spreading. We just need to be sensible and take precautions.
Margaret, find a transcript of the White House press conference. You can get some information there as well.
I read that most of the flights out of Mexico City/area are booked.
