It's for cleaning the whole school to get rid of any virus's (or try to). Did you have lots of kids sick right before they shut it down?

The swine flu is just a bunch of overhyped media bull$#!t. You should be fine in a few days.

On a side note, I'm thinking of using this as a band name:

"Coming soon to Oak Lawn: H1N1!"
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

It depends are you hooked up right to the internet or do you have a firewall activated? Mines activated to kill disease on sight no question asked. I've even hired a personal virus scanner to make sure nothing gets passed my firewall.

Never plug your Ethernet cable into a socket without a firewall to protect from diseases. :D You don't want, I mean uhh your computer to get any viruses.

Anyone see any issues between the interaction of the italic text and the bold text? ;)

Best of luck for your recovery Jack.

Quick observation: Has anyone observed the effects of epoxy on this strain of the flu virus?
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

Flu like symptoms and a temperature = 5 days banishment from work round here.

I think I might be running a temperature come to think of it... better safe than sorry :D

4 people here in Maryland have died from it so far. The 1st three had underlying illnesses, last week the 4Th was healthy and in good physical condition. Don't take it lightly, 700+ dead world wide. Wait till winter time hits the USA, there will be more.

It's a virus.. Keep your firewall full of water to keep flames to a minimum. You need a good Anti Virus. A personal scanner is a good start and can tell you when you have a virus. It is better to avoid a virus in the first place with an Anti Virus.. :D
