No More Swine Flu Days For Schools

Over the past week, a sharp increase of one-off swine flu cases in students raised a few eyebrows, as King County health officials decided to shut classroom doors for seven days. Now they are kicking themselves and second-guessing future decisions. With no confirmed cases in Washington and the end of the school year in sight, King County won't be closing any more schools that have a student or two with suspect symptoms. Now they say simply, teachers and children should just stay home if they are sick.

    This country has lived off a "better safe than sorry" attitude for a while. Its not shocking that the schools were closed had there actually been an outbreak the blame game would be being played every night at 6 and 10 pm. We only live two extremes

    ...Yeah, if I was still in school and I got wind of this whole "swine flue epidemic" the first thing I would do is put a thermometer against a lightbulb, fake some body-chills and get my whole school shut down. Shocker that none of these ended up being swine flu. SH-O-CKING. *GasP*
