<p>made the news today. cause for concern? should i go to school wearing a mask/not go to school at all ? kthxbai</p>

<p>btw this is the first case in the LA area to my knowledge.</p>

2

<p>Oooooo.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t go to school.</p>

3

<p>If you go, wear a mask. They think it’s human to human transferbale.</p>

4

<p>I would have no problem wearing one of those mask if there was a Swine Flue case at my school, though maybe the school will try to clean after that student tracks etc… like classrooms they were in, I heard a school did that in New York… maybe because it was a group of students having sympthons.</p>

5

<p>I read in the paper that a mask will not help.</p>

6

<p>All the schools in the 5 boroughs in NY are closed. I’m ****ed that none of the schools on Long Island were closed though.</p>

7

<p>^ same! They said NYC is a possible epicenter. Last week I went to NYC three times…I reallyyyy hope it doesn’t spread</p>

8

<p>are you sure everywhere in nyc is closed or just that one particular school, cause thats crazy! and scary i dont live too far away…</p>

9

<p>We recieved a paper saying that there were 3 kids who had a mild swin flu. Right now I feel pretty horrible and sick but I’m not sure if thats just a flu, or phsylogical problems.</p>

10

<p>they think they have a case at my school too.
i sit next to the girl who they think has it.
sweeeeeet. ■■■.</p>

11

<p>There’s one confirmed case in my state IN.</p>

12

<p>I agree with DLi. Remember MRSA (though it’s not a virus)?</p>

13

<p>Lollz… Oprah was talking about MRSA today.</p>

14

<p>To post 5</p>

<p>I know some people who laughed at ones wearing a mask, while others agreeded to their actions for wearing a mask. I myself think it’s better to wear one of those mask ( may find in hospitals) than nothing at all… I mean really.</p>

15

<p>Theres at least one confirmed case in my school and my school is pretty near the one that had the 9 kids (St. Francis Prep in NY)</p>

16

<p>Yeah stay safe guys. Not been a problem around here, yet.</p>

17

<p>not all of the schools in NYC is closed, actually only one, St. Francis Prep is closed. i would be careful, but not sure if a mask would help.</p>

18

<p>Well that’s frightening.
Oh, and masks won’t do anything to prevent catching it.</p>

19

<p>on the news they said wearing a mask doesnt really help. its good if you are sick and in public to wear a mask to protect everyone else though. theres a rumor at my school that a teacher might have it.</p>

<p>yessss turns out it wasn’t swine flu but some other life threatening diesease!</p>

<p>THANK GOD!!!</p>
