Do you live in Boston proper? I live up in Woburn. I work for the Department of Public Health (yup, the same people that are handling all the swine flu stuff).
Did they close the schools or were they just warning you that there was a case?
Sorry! I wish I could help you. Actually, the CDC (Atlanta) and Mass. DPH both want the schools to stay open unless it's really necessary to close them.
I just drove by Fenway and the Longwood area yesterday. I work out of the Tewksbury State Hospital, but I have to go into the State Lab (where I worked from 2000 to late 2002) every so often. If it's the middle of the day I go through Longwood, take the Riverway to the Jamaicaway to the Arborway to Jamaica Plain. The State Lab is butted up against the Arnold Arboretum.
If I have to commute during rush hour or when there's a game, I go route 128 to route 9 and take a right just before the Chestnut Hill Mall (mmmm - Cheesecake Factory) and go the back roads .

It was just a warning, but I want them to close school...
Any chance you can arrange that? *whips out wad of cash*

It's a long, slow ride either way.
