[Elf Mommy]

2 cases confirmed in Florida now. I'm really hoping it doesn't make its way up here for a month...I don't want them to close schools and shorten my summer vacation

Ya, someone in Dublin
So the swine flu is in Ireland now I'm not really scared of getting it I just don't want to be sick and I don't want my school to close and stuff because I have exams!

They better not close schools! I've only got 2 weeks left!!!!

Well swine flu is just starting to get big in Australia. We had our first case last week, now there are about 170 cases, half of them in Victoria.

There has been a confirmed case of swine flu in my school: a girl in year nine as well. She went to the school's mid year concert last night because she didn't want to let her band down so she's been in contact with a lot of people including my friend who's now in quarantine!

Unfortunately we're not getting closed down for a week, and we have so much homework due!

So those in the USA how long before they make one?

can i play the part of the housewife whose kids are convinced her hot flushes and bunny-fluff induced cough are swine flu? she's then forced to fake it cos the kids have signed an exclusive deal with Hello Magasine. kids pose for pics holding boxes of tamiflu, whilst hubby prays that the dogs cant get it....:biggrin2:

OMG that is funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it has blown over here, not any fun anymore to cough in a restaurant rest room and see people flee.

Yep there has been a couple of school'sthat closed here for a while cause of the swine flu outbreak....people not obeying quarantine measure's...these people are just inconsiderate...they should STAY in their homessd:

 

[Brandy456]

I agree. But they should let students with internet acess to be able to still do some work.

I guess I was right...the world's not ending and swine flu didn't wipe out our entire population.:yes: LOL!

My friend got quarantined and he has camp this week. He doesn't mind too much missing it but I would be sooooo pissed if it happened to me. I love going out and being with people (I get drained when I'm at home and alone) so I would be pretty sad staying home

the lastest

i really thought things were blowing over and the hype winding down, so i was surprised to read this

 

[Maureen Las]

That is scary
I know it is here in La crosse....

 

[bat42072]

there has been 17 cases in the next county... but none in the county i live in... still not worried though

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

As of June 10, there have been 221 cases of H1N1 flu virus confirmed in Saskatchewan.

Wow that is sorta scary. But not really, they took long enough to make it become a pandemic so it shouldn't really be much of an issue. Several weeks ago when this first started they said just a few more countries had to get some cases and it would become a pandemic, well lots more countries did and they didn't start the pandemic until now.

As far as I know I could have already had it last week, since I had a really bad cold and all.

It's getting quite serious over here, everyone returning from Aussie MUST spend a week in quarrintine, we have 150 people going away to Aussie for sports in a week for 2 weeks so school will be alot quieter. Aussie has the most confirmed cases than anywhere else has had. Also as its coming into our winter it will flourish but you guys are in summer so it should quiten down abit.

Great just as I had forgotten about it
