Yes! We usually average between 350-400, but 2 weeks ago we had only 280…the biggest one week dip we’ve ever seen…directly related to sickness. We have seen this especially in our children’s attendance.
We’ve seen major cuts in attendance over the past month or so… partly due to folks that actually have it, and also because of parents who aren’t taking their kids out.
Yes, two weeks in a row by 20%. It is still down, mostly because people are afraid of getting it. It also has affected a school group I work with cutting them down by 1/3 the past two weeks. On a side note, the bug hit everyone in my family but me.

I haven’t had H1N1, but one guy on our staff will be out with it till this weekend, and I’ve had a persistent cough (only… no fever or anything).
I must not have enough faith… ;P
No, thank God. We have seen an increase at all the campuses. Life is uncertain. Ask me next week, could be different. Let’s pray for all the Christian churches across the globe for protection.
Yeah, we’ve noticed it mostly in the children’s attendance. My boys both got the H1N1 flu.
Interestingly, this past Sunday was our largest non-holiday attendance day ever (3,489–up 485 from the Sunday before that). Weird.
Attendance has been down a little, but more due to travel and surgery than fear.
