Swine flu H1N1 should be a big concern for everyone in the world. I have a big concern about this H1N1 because they did say that it would hit aboriginals hard because they live in poor living conditions and medical conditions. Although, my community does not have poor living conditions, there are some families who are overcrowded and the virus can spread rapidly in these families.
I do feel afraid for the other aboriginals of Canada because some communities do not having running water for them to wash their hands properly.
There had been schools that have been closed in different parts of the world. If it takes to close schools down to avoid further spreading of this virus then they should close schools. In this article, they write that there are alot of germs in schools and if that is it ..then what is wrong with closing a school if it will protect us?Health Canada or the Government should put money to have sanitizers put in all schools if they think shutting down schools would cost too much money. It would be cheaper, I bet.
This article talks about money, on how much it would cost to closes schools down. I think that they should put money into prevention..on how to protect ourselves and to help protect others. Everyone has a role to play avoid this H1N1 from spreading.
Never mind the money that they would lose by closing schools and worry about putting money to help protect the people in this world.
Questions:
1)What harm will it be for the students if they do close down for schools for a few days?
2)Why is there a big concern for money when life is more important?

It is probably better to close tthe schools i guess. Security and health first and education next I think. I can tell you that in Mexico City they closed the schools 2 weeks and in some other parts almost a month!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting article!!
If every one would put hand sanitizer Swine Flu wouldn't be a problem.
ReplyDeletei think they should close it if its to prevent spread of a biig virus.i think it woul dbe better
ReplyDeletebecause they need there money for like army technonlogy school everything and il would cost a lot of money to save everyone with there money they need it thats why
ReplyDeletejasmine this is a relly good thing to coment because we all konw that you are aboriginal and it woud be a big problem if peolpe with no money had this virus because they dont have stuff to protect them selfs the harm for the children to no go to shool i dont think is that big because i think not a lot of people like school but they would by protected in school and the second question i dont know i have the same question
ReplyDeletei think that it is really scary, especially if it is someone in your school or someone you know or even a family member, the problem with the swin flue is that there saying anyone who has a bad cold has swine flue so they have to research more and get a good treament but in the mean time everyone should wash their hands and keep clean!!!! And nice blog Jasmine!!1 it was a very important topic
ReplyDeleteGood Job Jaz!
ReplyDeleteI think the article that you chose was really good and we have a lot to talk about it.
I think it will affect the students to close the schools, but if it is our safety, then so be it.
But I don't know if you guys know this, but they closed the schools in Brazil for almost three weeks because the virus was spreading really fast. But then, the principals weren't very happy, and since they have to give the students a certain amount of classes required by the govern, they are finishing the school a little later this year.
Nice work!
I dont Understand why people are making such a big deal about this. Tons of People have been effected by this but only a small number of those people have had it very serious. Most people just stay on the couch and eat soup and drink apple juice for a few days and there over it.
ReplyDeleteI believe schools should be closed based on the amount of people in the school with it because if 3/4 of the school dosent have it, there losing all of the new things that they have learned over the year.
ReplyDeleteSpencer - some interesting news though is that if they had to cut out too much time for something like this - we might have to go to school in the summer! What do you think?
ReplyDelete1) the students will lose their time for education.
ReplyDelete2)Because you need money to produce vaccine for H1N1
I think that the swin flue is a big epidemie and every body need to know about it if someone in your family got it like said Jessica you can't now if it's the swin flu or a bad cold.
ReplyDeleteIf everyone put on hand sanatiser the swine flu wouldn't be a problem, but it might evolve and we humans would be more pron becuase are anty bodies wouldn't be use to it.

i think this article is important because its warning us about what the swine flu can do to a world well in the article its saying that schools should have hand sanitizers' so i think standstead college caught that message, but also i kind of like the idea of the schools closing but i don't like the idea because it from the swine flu.
ReplyDeleteSome communities that have been hard by H1N1 should close the schools but with some communities they should not because of the education program with aboriginals, the education is really bad so they should just stay in school if they dont have swine flu.
ReplyDeleteOverall I really liked this blog Jasmine.
