Kids are home today - Schools closed because of Swine Flu Scare

Plymouth Canton Schools in Michigan, the district I live in is closed today and tomorrow because of suspected Swine Flu case. Its the 3rd largest school district in Michigan with approximately 19,000 students. There are other schools which are closed here in the Metro Detroit area also. (source Detroit Free Press)

Last week I created a Google Map+Twitter Swine Flu Map which showed tweets from various regions in United States and Europe.

Now that this thing has hit very close to home, I decided to look at tweets related to Swine Flu in the state of Michigan. With Lansing, Michigan as base I searched for Tweets within 175 miles radius from Lansing, Michigan. Check out the Swine Flu related tweets in Michigan in this Google Maps Mashup.
