NY tried that with heath care providers and a judge said "NO!".
I hear a lot of parents locally saying they are going to refuse to send their children to school until this is over. A lot are also refusing to allow their children to get the vaccine. The woman in Huntington who stole the vaccine was a sign that folks are losing it over this!
It will be interesting to see what local attendance rates are like on Monday. I will be callling my kids Dr. on Monday to see if I can get a medical excuse to cover the days they've missed because of having the flu. He asked me not to bring them in unless they showed signs of it going into their lungs. No lung problems, so I don't know if I'll get the excuse or not.
I know some counties are relaxing their attendance policies but so far, Doddridge isn't one of them.

Marshall has made all absences excused if you're suffering from flu-like symptoms. No doctors excuse required. One of my professors is pregnant and she is obviously very adamant about not coming if you're sick.
To be honest, all I'm doing is washing my hands more often, taking vitamin C & A, and carrying around hand sanitizer sprays. I'm not worried at all about catching whatever comes around.
