The Dollars and Sense of Closing Schools for H1N1:

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?
