Two cases were just discovered in my school.

But the school is not being shut down. The infected students just have to stay home for a week.

Good news! My school is now passing out the official swine flu soap.

So everything should be fine and dandy.

My hands are now as clean as my conscience.

Carry on, good citizens. This is all I have to say.

My school finally stopped doing the health checks in the mornings a few days ago.

Hope you don't get sick!

Does anyone happen to know if anti-swine flu shots are available yet in Korea?

International clinic said they'll start emailing people on their list as soon as they come in, mid October. I'm expecting an email any day now.

They're trying to get vaccines to children, pregnant women, and the elderly first. Me, you, and any other able bodied 20, 30, or 40 something is gonna be the last on the list. But honestly, we should be. People that are in their "prime" years are resisting it best. Younger, older, and the sick are the ones it's taking down. So, I'm okay waiting.

I will take my chances with the flu as opposed to pumping mercury into my body. I would recommend the same for you, your wife, and your unborn child. Just my opinion after weighing the risks and benefits for myself. You of course are welcome to do the same as I'm sure you will.

There are lots of rumours about the swine flu jab. There's also a lot of hyperbole that it has caused deaths or disabilities. Of course there will be side effects in some people as with ANY medicine(Tamiflu comes with a long list of side effects too!) As for the mercury, (how much fish do you eat?) the vaccine is available as a nasal spray without the DREADED mercury.
