Back-to-School Germs: Four Illnesses Surge as Kids Return to Class

Back-to-school season is bringing a surge in four illnesses—gastrointestinal bugs, hand-foot-mouth disease, strep throat, and mono—according to a Northwestern Medicine pediatrician, with spread driven by close contact in classrooms; she emphasizes strict hygiene, changing older kids’ clothes after school, and keeping feverish children home, plus guidance on when it’s okay to return. The doctor also urges flu vaccination by Halloween, noting last season’s severe pediatric flu toll and that vaccines help reduce severity and illness even when not a perfect match.

Hidden Refurbished MacBook Neo Spurs Back-to-School Savings

Back-to-school laptop deals are thin this year. Apple’s promo runs through Sept. 24 with Unidays verification for student discounts, and there are few sales outside Apple Stores. Apple’s Certified Refurbished Store lists the MacBook Neo at $599 with up to 15% off and a 1-year warranty, often matching the education discount, making refurbished a compelling alternative to full-price deals.

Dell reboots the XPS 13 as a budget rival to MacBook Neo with a $599 promo

Dell is bringing back the XPS 13 as its thinnest and lightest model yet, launching in July with a $599 back-to-school promo (regular price $699). The entry config includes a six-core Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 512GB storage, and a 13.4-inch anti-glare touchscreen (2560×1600) with 500 nits and 100% DCI-P3. It weighs about 2.2 pounds (12.7mm thick) and offers only two USB‑C ports with no 3.5mm jack (higher-end models arriving later with Thunderbolt 4). Dell projects up to 17 hours of battery life and even called out the MacBook Neo by name as a direct, budget-friendly rival; the company also teased a future XPS with discrete graphics for Computex.
