General Discussion / Re: Swine Flu
« on: April 29, 2009, 09:02:24 PM »
I live in California, and my parents said the other day I shouldn't go to school because they think I'll get infected with the swine flu, (which none of the people in my school had as of now), but the thing is that it is likely that it will be spread to the San Francisco Bay Area, and there is a high chance that some of us will get in contact with it. Basically all I can say for now is that the swine flu is deadly and serious. I heard this from a few other people from school. There are many Mexicans in our school and as Gil said, we must be careful who we're interacting with, but I'd have to disagree, because if that person doesn't have swine flu, it's ok to interact with him, but don't get TOO close to that person. As of now I can trace this flu from where its origin is from. This is a guess, but I can be wrong though. The pig had a common cold and the farmers got in contact with the cold and the disease got deadly, and then the farmer came in contact with other people, and then the people from that point spread this flu onto other people.
Another thing, just now I found out that some people from schools in Pittsburg/Bay Point/Contra Costa County got affected with this flu, and schools are closing for the rest of this week + next week, which means that the swine flu is getting worse and worser. I go to a Charter School in Hayward, CA, and there's no reported cases in the Hayward Unified School District (which my school isn't a part of) and as of now, our teachers (Mr. Fauteux, Ms. Farrand, Ms. Crocker) are giving us hand sanitizer so we can cleanse our hands so that we don't get in contact with the swine flu. What I'm doing everyday before going to school is taking a shower so that I can get my good hygeine on, so that I have a less likely chance of catching the flu.
Guys......WASH YOUR HANDS!!!!!!!!!! Protect yourself from this flu, and try not to get TOO close to others, who may have the flu, or when you're interacting with them

That really makes things a heck of a lot easier for me.
