More colleges reporting swine flu cases....unnecessary panic?

<p>Well my daughter was supposed to go to GW tomorrow to visit a friend (and see her future college) but we have decided against it since apparently today they have diagnosed two students there with the H1N1 influenza. I have since heard of reports at Notre Dame, Tufts, Brown, University of Delaware and USC............how are you as parents reacting to this? I know I probably sound paranoid in not allowing her to go tomorrow but if she doesn't have to, why take a chance? I realize thankfully that thus far in the U.S. all cases seem quite mild and without major health compromises but who knows if that may change. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>There are two threads on this at the Parents Cafe forum, with plenty of thoughts there.</p>
