And that stupid illness hits my city... "sighs"

[DededeCloneChris]

Yes, swine flu appeared here because a boy didn't wash his hands or went to Mexico City and took it all the way HERE.

(Of course, I don't know how he got it).

This caused my schools to close until May 8th, but why do they close the schools? I know it's because for the people getting the flu but why until that day and not the entire month?

Oh, and by the way, scientists could finish a vaccine for it by June, according to some sources.

Is your area having this illness from the demon's (beep!) or no?

Discuss.

Whey did you beep out your own word, you little beep!  :-\

No illness here.

Come on, man, speed up. Swine flu is so last week. It's H1N1 now. Get with the program.

Also, I'm pretty sure the only confirmed cases are in the southern part of California... although, there have been rumors of there being a person who has a possibility of having the disease around here. Eh, I dunno.

Your sig is huge. o_o
Swine Flu isn't in my city. But I know it's in my state. And a school near here closed. D:

[HTA!]

I'm done being worried over swine flu.
The death count is waaaay lower than most thought, and it really looks a lot less deadly than normal influenza.

I've had the flew for 2 years in a row... and if that didn't kill me I think I'll be fine. (knocks on wood)

Anyway, there have been 2 confirmed cases in my state I believe.
But as to schools closing down, no.

People died in mexico right? What I want to know is if anyone died here yet? Cause it could not be as bad here as it is over there. Maybe we are more healthy then the mexicans and NOOO I'm not been racist.

I'm gonna have to agree with you HTA.
I used to be afraid/paranoid about this flue going around in my area...especially since Mexicans visit my store frequently.... always buying soccer stuff :P
(not racist!)

Lol, I have a Spanish co worker cover his face with his shirt every time a Mexican enters the store... It's SO funny :D

*coughs*
But point being, I'm not scared of it anymore..... IF Anything people will just get Very sick from it.................and then thats it. I'm sure people with weak immune systems may Really become weakened by this thing but I don't think It's TOO much to worry about.

Society/Media has a good tendency of really heightening things up sometimes.
It's a serious matter Yes, and My Empathy goes out to those who lost from this flue in the world, but I don't think it's something people should go crazy about........... not yet atleast.

one baby died in the US from swine flu, but babies die from the normal flu so it's nothing to worry about, when people our age start dying then I'll worry

Good ol' adblock.

Also, no swine flu here.

[Red]

Quite a few "confirmed" cases in NY, but apparently it hasn't crossed the border to NJ, so I'm good.

[JrDude]

DOOD!
Someone is playing Pandemic!
They are causing this!!!
Anyway, I don't think it's in my city, though it is in my state.....

[StarWindWizard7]

Just in case, I think it's a good idea that everybody starts taking Vitamins or something just to boost up your bodies Defenses.

[Jono2]

H1N1 only kills mexicans.

fact.
