I teach at an after school programme in a public school and I just found out that two weeks ago one of my students was diagnosed with swine flu. And get this she was pulled out of school but she was still sent to the after school programme. Now I have three kids with fevers and god knows whats going to happen. Plus my co-teacher is pregnant and so she is all worried |

Some students at my school started "showing symptoms" so they had these people come through and spray everything. Now they're canceling school festivals and performances.
Today they handed out some sort of blue spray stuff to the teachers and no one is telling me anything except "Maybe you can't travel far from school" during Thanksgiving or something like that. |

My high school shows an amazing unwillingness to close despite one girl testing positive.
They took the not quite adequate measure of just making her class stay home for one day!! |

Swine flu is no big deal. Just let yourself get it and build up the immunity and move on. |

I'm not worried about swine flu itself, but the after-school programme is a business. If my co teacher or I catch it and the parents find out I maybe out of a job.
What got me though is she was out of school for a week, however she was sent to school for the afterschool programme. |

I'm only seeing good come of this Swine Flu hysteria. They've started a (long overdue) hand-washing campaign at both of my schools, and for once they're actually letting sick people stay home and get some rest instead of having them drag themselves to school/work and sleep at their desks all day. It's almost worth the what, four measly deaths? The regular ol' flu blows through umpteen more people than that.
Long live H1N1! |

Someone got it last Thursday and my school closed Friday and reopened on Monday. They've been testing the temperature of all the students and so far nothing major has happened. My school has been pretty sane about the whole thing and it doesn't truly seem to be bothering anyone. |

I think "Un-ModEdit-believable! " has a better ring.
Consider yourself strongly warned!!!

Yep. At my school they pulled all the communal drinking cups that were always "sterilized" with that blacklight cup holder.
Also, I'm seeing hands covering coughing mouths and those who don't are scolded by their classmates.
Of course the dirtbag ajosshis are still spitting and pissing everywhere without giving a damn. |

Swine flu is one of the BEST things to ever happen to Korea...
It actually taught people to wash their hands...
and cover their mouths when they cough and splutter...
BRING ON MORE Flu's - we might actually teach "them" cleanliness... |
