It is cool to learn about the swine flu. It is so cool but I wish we didn't have the swine flu. I hope in the near future that the scientist can find a vaccination for this virus.

Somebody will be here I hope that you will stay alive and every thing is okay and believe in yourseif and don't be afraid. I hope people will stay safe.

I think it's awesome that this medicine is made to
help people who may have the swine flu. And if you have the swine flu you should be happy that their is medicine out there to help people and remember that there is someone here to help.

[jazmyn]

i think this is an outrage. they need to find a cure fast and in a hurry because this flu is spreding faster than a bull chaseing a rabbit. one more thing is i`am scared of cathing the flu and die or be put intoa hospital.

[michou]

My family and i are not talking and breathing when someones talking or sneezing. Also when we touch things we always wash our hands.

[santeria]

Ithink that the people who have the swine flue should be treated special with care and should not be around people who don't.Also if i catch it it's because the swine flu.I think you should try to look for people who have the swine flu.

[Ryan]

I think people are overreacting to swine flu.

[Ifeoluwa]

What I am doing to stay healthy is that I have been washing my hands and I am always careful of people I don't really touch thier hands and if I do I always make sure that I put hand sanitizer.

[Deontae]

[BRIANN]

NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Halo]

Hi I'm Halo and I would like to tell you that swine flu is easy to spread to people. So people with a cold or have swine flu should be careful and not spread it to others who are not sick.I think the school should hire more workers to clean the school at night.So in the morning the whole school is sparking clean.

[Mr. James]

Swine flu has recently come to Japan. Many people are worried about getting swine flu, especially on the trains and public transportation. Most people wear masks to cover their nose and mouth everyday. Over 4,000 schools have closed this week! People are being very careful to prevent the spread of the virus.

[Akifumi]

Iam living in japan. In hyogo, Osaka and shiga in total there is 238 people that caught it. I think swine flu is a big problem

[seiichirou]

I live in japan. best thing to not getting germs is to wash your hands. I think swine flu is big problem.

[Sho]

I live in Japan. Almost of the school is closed in Osaka and Kobe. Many people is getting too. I think swine flu is dangerous.

[karizma]

MY school dosnt have the swine flu but we follow all the rules.FRom karizma.

[RI]

I am not going to get that flu no way man!!

[shadye]

don't get swine flu.Genesis

[john.o]

i dont want to catch it and i hope people dont act like people acted when polio had hit us***

[kyle]

My family hasn't been infected but a school near me has. the whole school was closed and got off school early.so sad yet so happy! one of the best ways to avoid swine flu is to wash your hands after you sneeze. also don't be afraid of eating pork. its perfectly fine. even though it is called swine flu doesn't mean you can't eat swine,pork whatsoever. if you think the name swine flu makes you scred try calling it H1N1 virus. it might give you a better sense of security

[darkeclipse13]

Well, we haven't caught swine flu and we are frequently washing our hands to prevent it.

[Justin]

Swine flew has already started to spred in Hong kong. All primary schools are now closed down for 2 weeks.My family has been washing hands with soap more and avoiding contact with eyes mouth and nose.

[Abigail]

my school had to be closed for 2 weeks due to the H1N1 virus (swine flu).i think we should stop the swine flu from spreading to countries and cities that still have not been affected. i think by washing hands and avoiding contact with your eyes, nose and mouth can prevent spreading of germs.Did you know that people with lung problems are more vunreble to the H1N1 virus ? Don't ask me why.

[Mr. G.]

At my school, we are now more concerned then ever to make sure students cough and sneeze correctly, (that's in your elbow). Students must also wash their hands several times a day or use hand sanitizer. We hope that no one catches the flu this year.

[zach]

In are school we wash are hands and use hand sanitzer.

[Tommy]

Once I got the swine flu for two weeks.

[Ben]

In our classroom, every time we go in or out we have to get a squirt of hand sanitizer. We wash our hands before lunch because hand sanitizer does not work if you do it more than three times without washing your hands.

[Connor]

I think the swine flu is bad. If you have it, stay home for a few days.

[Colin]

I hope I dont get the swine flue. I would not like it.

[Deaney]

I think it is bad.I think no one sured get it.

[Andrea]

I like to kill the swine flu every day that help every buddy say heathley . My class wash their hand

[jayla]

I hope evrybody in the world and kids get a swine flu shot

[julie]
