So whats the current status with the H1N1 in Korea? How fast is it currently spreading? We've only had a few cases at my school and never closed down. I've heard its spreading rapidly in the West and I wonder: Do you think the schools will try to screw us out of traveling abroad this Winter? Anybody get swine flu yet? How did your school react?

Nothing in my vicinity. Its interesting the panic about it - the only people who have died in Korea are the ones who were old, had asthma, heart disease or just waited until they were nearly dead before seeing a friggin Dr. Only 11 deaths so far. but the schools are checking temperatures daily and hosing the kids down with hand sanitizer

Eat large bags of Kimchi and the H1N1 won't dare go near you.

My wife says it's something like 3,000 new cases per day.

My school has cancelled classes today and tomorrow. We have about 40 kids down, and 3 teachers. An elementary aged child died at a nearby school last week, so everyone's a bit upset and worried.

Just watched the Gwangju evening news... about 2000 confirmed cases of Swine flu among students in Gwangju. A 2 year old died today as a result.

There's no stopping this.

Its hitting Suwon hard. About 20 got H1N1 at my school and more are expected. I think 20 people have died in Korea already. Korea is about the same size as Florida and i think both have the same number of deaths.
