Overkill? Kentucky district to shut down schools to disinfect

Check out this story by CNN about a Kentucky school district that plans to shut down its 23 schools Monday to disinfect against MRSA (antibiotic-resistant staph bacteria). Should GCS have done something similar when two cases were recently confirmed at Northeast and Smith high schools?

Staf is carried on people's skin. Are you going to spray everyone students' skin and nose?

Many people die from staf in hospitals. All the spraying and disinfecting didn't help those patients.
