And yes, maybe it's because I'm in Alaska, and maybe it's because I'm not well informed, but mostly because I'm just not an excitable person. I'll save my drama for other stuff - like if I ever meet Hugh Jackman or win the lottery or lose 10 pounds.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18270661693698065581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-4612637241654681322009-05-02T21:51:00.000-06:002009-05-02T21:51:00.000-06:00We've had 2 schools close in the area for the flu....We've had 2 schools close in the area for the flu.

But I will say, they should be careful with the hand sanitizer, it's really bad for small children. Because there's alcohol in it, if they put it on their hands and then wipe their face, after awhile they can get alcohol poisoning. And thats not me freaking out, my friend's a nurse and see's it at the hospital.

No talk of closing schools, just a big focus on hand-washing and keeping sick kids home. I'm good with that.Chelsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11592263367538845027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-50705848144299719202009-05-02T10:04:00.000-06:002009-05-02T10:04:00.000-06:00M.O.T.H. and I were driving home from our morning ...M.O.T.H. and I were driving home from our morning date (all you can eat breakfast - turns out I can't eat that much) and passed a neighbor wearing a surgical mask and with his arm in a sling... he's protecting against swine flu AND pork shoulder maybe?<br /><br />AND no kidding - my word verifier says baconse... the pork industry is REALLY trying to get their product out there if they're using WV to advertise!Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09487861205461390684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-4315493816749927032009-05-02T06:36:00.000-06:002009-05-02T06:36:00.000-06:00Have to agree on the over-reaction thing.

The school my husband teaches at was closed today due to a confirmed case of the flu but even though everyone knew his school was a high risk for infection (lots of immigrants there) they haven't done anything close to as obsessive as you are describing. Well, except for close the school for two weeks but that was only b/c the state health department ordered them to.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660156433881882098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-71270623050593834342009-05-01T23:00:00.000-06:002009-05-01T23:00:00.000-06:00MARIO LOPEZ!!!!MARIO LOPEZ!!!!Kristina P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16144488639100871226noreply@blogger.com
