School Begining: When school starts after summer, kids exchange their viruses, get sick. This happens first few weeks of beginning of school every year. Rate of injuries also go high e.g. Skin lacerations, joint sprains and broken bones. Any kid, if has fever 100 f or above in prior 24 hours, should stay home to prevent spread of illness. Strep throat, pink eye, influenza are notorious, rapidly spreading illness.
