Swine flu but school stays open >:(

[Firehorse]

We have 2 cases of swine flu in our school but the stupid flu board thing that deals with it recommended out school stayed open.

So much for a week off.

They said that it had already spread and closing the school wouldn't make any difference. Thats a stupid thing to say because then if its spread then there are all of the thousand people who don't have it can still catch it then.

And whats more there are large amounts of people suffering from flu like symptoms even before they mentioned there was flu at our school.

They really think that schooling is more important than having a chance of becoming ill and just missing more school anyway.

You need 3 confirmed cases before a school HAS to be closed.

We have had 2 cases at UCS, but we haven't closed, as above post said you probably need to have 3 cases.

We have 2 officially although since then apparently there has been a third but the school are keeping it quiet cos they want to stay open.

No matter what the school do or say. Only the Health Protection Agency has the say over what to do.

My school shut after 1 confirmed case :/ But then again, loads of people were falling ill, it was a little suspicious.

23 confirmed cases at my school now, and I'm one of them o-0
