OMG This Is Scary... 40 Schools Close Due To Contagious Viral Outbreak!!

Ok, this might not be local news, but this kind of stuff creeps me out! Imagine having an outbreak of a viral infection that's so contagious a school district has to close 40 schools to try and STOP the spread of the illness? THAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING IN COLORADO.

... and I don't know about you, but Colorada is too close to California for me to feel fine with this. (maybe I'm being dramatic, but still....)

More Than 40 Colorado Schools Closed Following Viral Outbreak

“We are taking this highly unusual action because this virus is extremely contagious and spreading quickly across our schools,” Tanya Marvin, the district’s nursing coordinator, said in a statement.
