Deborah, very helpful article....although too late for me and my family. My three kids and I all had the H1N1 Swine Flu back in April and my youngest daughter's elementary school was closed by the CDC for several days, causing my daughter and a handful of other kids to be placed in isolation room in a YMCA for a couple of very long hours. It was a nightmare for a group of 7-year-olds to be isolated like that and not understand what was going on. In any case, I do hope that your son's team doesn't get into a panic about it.
Really, it's simply a flu virus, and after having had it, I can say that it wasn't even half as bad as some other flu viruses that I've had in past years. I've been trying to spread the word that it's not worth much of the panic that we hear in the media. Yes, it's good to be informed and to be cognizant of how best not to spread germs, but as it's mentioned in this article, it's important for adults and kids not to blow the Swine Flu out of proportion.
