"Flu bug hits local schools"

In Muscogee county at least three school have reported that at least 10% of their students are getting sick, many have been having flu symptoms. Blackmon Road has a total of 804 students on a normal day, on Monday 10 % of their students were absent. Same goes for Richards Middle and Midland Middle School. Pat Patterson a pharmacist at Wal-Mart said "We are seeing more and more cases earlier than usual be it the flu or some kind of other infection." Most schools are saying to stay home if you aren't feeling well at all so that other students will not catch it and the staff will not get it either.
