H1N1...does anyone know of cases reported in Menifee or Menifee schools?

My child and I were very ill in the begining of October. My daughter is 6yrs old and we both had flu symptoms of fever over 100, chills, body aches, head aches and some coughing. My 9yr old and my husband were a little sick too, but not like my daughter and I. I am hearing that anyone who has fallen ill recently with flu symptoms will be counted as H1N1 because of the fact that it showed up early this season and is what is showing up on almost 100% of those being tested. I know there have been a lot of kids that have gotten sick and over it and back to school now at my kids school, but I have not hear of any reports.

I don't know but I would like to know what's up with that. If the school has seen any cases of the Swine Flu they are not sharing the information. I know that my kid's doctor mentioned something about several of his patients that came down with it. I definitely would like to know what's going on.

I know my 8 year old daughter had it and I let the school know (early Oct) and there were MANY MANY kids out at school with it - sometimes 5 or 6 in one class. The district did not tell parents about it - however you can pretty much assume it is rampant in all schools in the district as well as statewide.
