The swine flu outbreak certainly has grabbed the attention of folks.

It was the lead story in today’s edition of The Tribune, a story that first appeared online Sunday evening at TribTown.com.

We’ll follow up later tonight and in Tuesday’s edition of the newspaper with more on the story.

Reporter Jill Treadway reports that schools are putting their typical flu season routine in place — wash your hands, keep your sneezes to yourself and sanitize tables and desks.

We’ll report that Schneck Medical Center and Jackson County Department of Health report they’re taking steps to protect people as well.
