After assisting in the decision to close Oxford Elementary School on Monday, Nathan Luedke went home sick.

"Ironically, it's probably H1N1, so I'm taking it easy today," said Luedke, of Ripon, who is the Marquette County health officer. He has a cough, body aches, and a fever of 100 degrees, he said.

"The key is to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and eat healthy foods. The healthier you are, the better your body will fight the infection," he said.
