Swine Flu!
Posted by Lavender, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on Sunday 6 September 2009 at 00:56 UAE time
I understand it's a life threatening epidemic, but it's not worth the frenzy! Everybody should be aware of it, I agree, however people are over reacting so much, that the ministry of education is considering shutting down the schools until the vaccines arrive!(God knows when that's going to happen!) Besides, if somebody caught the virus, they could be treated(the sooner the better). It's not worth all the attention, plus so far, it's under control. Otherwise, there's nothing we can do that will stop it from spreading. So we might as well just take a chill pill and quit the drama!

i'm just a avrage studant only 14, studying business. when swine flu was decllared in mexico, two weeks later i through a few numbers together and found that 20% off ireland could contract the h1ni virus,
i am outraged that people studying this virus have today only released that 25% off ireland may contract it, i no longer am asking can it be stopped, i am now asking do we have the right people to stop it, im reading every day that theres a anti virul NEARLY ready, be honest, its either readly or isn ready. also if were so worried why havnt the national health center declared a pandemic, which in contrast would stop people from goin on holidays as they are in fare off contracting the h1ni virus, that way you would not have to force people to stop when the time comes and it get worse, there was no pre cationary measures to take for all these flu's, i beleve that when flu season arrives the least companys and shopping centeres could do is provide lifts with dissposeable gloves and tisues, thats all its not rocket science im only 14 and i can realize it.. write me back on www.ericgaffney14@hotmail.com
