AeJ35w Great. Now i can say thank you!

kids

Our kids and our people should not die from this swine flu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who's with me?? We should stop the madness, schools should be closed!!!!!!!!!!

this is not sars or bird flu

Does our country grind to a halt with the seasonal flu each year? Do we close our schools for seasonal flu? Thousands of people die each year inspite of the flu vaccine being offered. Life goes on, practice good hand washing. Or should we all get in our plastic bubbles or barracade ourselves in our homes until next year sometime.....oh wait another flu will be here then. Lets close up shop for life.

SWINE FLE

IT BAD

Why wait

I agree! Why are they waiting until they are getting sick to close the schools? Why not close them all now and try to catch it before a child is bringing it to school and infecting other kids?

swine flu

I think that we should not be afaird of the swine flu and fright of.WE should wear mask of our face and protect our faces and not go out sides.Our kids dont need to go to school and get the swine flu.They should go back to school when the swine flu is solved.Wash your hands before you eat and dont cough at other people

schools

WHY WAIT TILL A CASE IS CONFIRMED THEN OTHER CHILDREN AND OTHER FAMILYS WILL GET INFECTED SHUTING THEM DOWN RIGHT NOW WOULD BE BEST
