Schools Ban Touching To Fight H1N1, page 2

Seriously, chill, ok? I do have a couple of constructive comments, the others I won't bother with.

The policy is unorthodox and could be difficult to enforce, but Nassau Health Commissioner Dr. Maria Torroella Carney says it's a good way to educate awareness.

Educate awareness of what?

Awareness that germs can be transferred. Please don't tell me that your mother didn't teach you to cover your mouth when you sneeze or that it's a good idea to wash you hands a lot if you're sick.

Just another step to teach kids from birth to alienate those around them.
Don't trust anyone.
Don’t touch anyone.
Live in the virtual world.
Don’t share with anyone.

And why?
Because the flu is an AIRBORNE VIRUS!

That wasn't my quote.

Although I don't agree that it will reduce illness I do think that maybe, unlikely but maybe, it will "educate awareness".

Again, ‘educate awareness’ of what?
And if it’s not going to - even in your opinion - help, why freak kids out even more and enforce even more rules on them?

You really think kids are freaking out? Lol... they are laughing about it.

They won't enforce this - they won't be able to.

Wanna bet?
It will have family against family, kid against kid, and the police will be called in.
Mark my word, it’s happened before.
Kids have been arrested as young as 6 for touching in school (young as 3 if I remember correctly).
For Hugs.
That is beyond sick.

Lol, I just have nothing to say but please, chill, before you have a coronary. Seriously, family against family? Kids being arrested? Do you really think that the average American is running around freaking out about the swine flu? LOLOLOLOLOLOLLLLL.... no, I know no one who is freaking out. Seriously. Even the school has been talking about how ridiculous the whole swine flu thing has gotten. I don't think it's had the effect the makers of if wanted it to.

I went out and bought some germx wipes for my children to use at school so they didn't have to go to the restroom all the time to wash their hands. School's been in session for 1 week and already there are 5 cases of swine flu in my child's school.

And you think germ wipes are going to help?

So, you’ll be first in line to make sure your kids get a flue shot I take it?
I hope the best for you and yours, I mean that.

Absolutely the germ wipes are going to help. THEY KILL GERMS - lol.

Please don't take a condescending tone with me young man,

, No, I won't be taking the flu shot nor will any of my kids. I don't think the vaccine is safe nor is it necessary. Why would you think that because I'm not freaking out (like you are) about how this ONE school is handling things that I would be totally uninformed about the swine flu and the vaccine?
