Speculation.
Speculation is brewing in Webb City surrounding a certain 16 year old girl.
While we won't propose this as fact, we will say sources very relevant in Webb City High School are suggesting a 16 year old sophomore girl was sent home with symptoms of H1N1, the "Swine-flu."
Sources tell TFJ that the girl was sent home with a headache and fever, but it has not been confirmed to, in fact, be the H1N1.
On the record, Superintendent Ron Lankford on Wednesday said, "we have had no confirmed Swine Flu incident at the High School."
Lankford did say, regarding swine flu, that "generally, we follow the lead of the CDC and Jasper County Health Dept." He reminds, "kids should not come to school sick, should wash their hands and follow good health habits."
Optimistically, Lankford says, "Hopefully it will not become a major problem."
(By the way, Principal Stephen Gollhopher has not yet responded to our email.)
More to come, surely, as this story develops.
