Your article was from September 4th, you twit. Since then there have been more deaths among children.
As to the school closings, I've no idea why this is important to you, but google is your friend.
schools closed flu - Google News
I noted some schools have closed more recently - but not due to confirmed cases of swine flu, but namely students and/or their parents staying home because of "flu-like" symptoms.
Such is a parent's choice, but the actual flu this year is really no different than any other year, with the exception of a very small percentage of the young population suffering from serious medical pre-conditions - which of course was the primary purpose of the article - to outline the underlying health conditions of those dying from H1N1 - a very very small segment of the population.
Yes - there have been more deaths - and more will come. The CDC reported over 56,000 flu-related deaths in 2006.
But for healthy people, be they young or old, this flu season is no different than any other - except for the hysteria...
