The viral illness that hospitalized hundreds of children in Mid-Western states has arrived in Alabama, reports the Washington Post.
Enterovirus 68 is a serious illness, and it appears to spread rapidly among populations of kids, in day-care and schools.
Montgomery County teachers are having a development day off, so the kids are out too. That gave the system an opportunity to sanitize the classrooms, though since there has not been a single case diagnosed in Montgomery, I'm not sure what it accomplishes.
Tough time for parents...do you send your kid to school? What if he or she has the sniffles?
