Swine flu

I assume you are finding the whole attitude annoying?

I came to cairo on an expat package to work...school should have started on the 20th of August...but I've been sitting in my flat since the 17th of August BORED.

I've been told that school's will reopen on the 11th of Oct...but rumour has it that it may be postponed till Jan.

I've been over sleeping, over eating and shopping in excess to pass time. And a lazy life of leisure does not suit me.

And more annoyingly, when the kids DO come back teachers will have to work a 6day week to make up the lost time, cos we're a fee paying international school!

So, yeah I am a tad bit annoyed.

[quote=MuslimSister]President Mubarak said "if the children have to, they'll miss the entire year of school"

Why doesnt he close the malls, parks, banks, shopping centres etc whilst he's at it too...[/quote]

Cos he's a stupid idiot?

Nah, I'm only joking. He's a stupid, corrupt idiot.

Have you tried advertising private tuition? Or Teaching adults English (I'm sure they're not 100% strict about full qualifications since you have a PGCE).

Just to keep you occupied.

300 pupils off sick at flu school

A quarter of pupils at a West Lothian High school are off sick, some of them suffering from flu-like symptoms.

About 300 Linlithgow Academy pupils have called in sick over the past few days, with 14 now confirmed as having swine flu.

More than 100 have been showing symptoms of the virus.

West Lothian Council has written to all parents as a precautionary measure but it stressed there were no plans to close schools in the area.

NHS Lothian said most people were likely to experience mild symptoms.

my friend passed on a cold to me :/

brum city council have told all schools to provide tissues boxes in every classroom to promote "catch it! kill it! bin it!"

I'm back to school - working a 6day week to make up for the time the government made us take off. If we get ANY outbreak, we're shutting down again.

To prevent any outbreaks, this is what we must do.

All AC's must be shut in school to prevent the circulatation of air/germs (try teaching 25 hyper kids when the weather is 35plus most days)

No whole school assemblies

kissing, shaking hands, touching is strictly forbidden.

All kids must use the hand sanitiser when they enter/leave the classroom (imagine the chaos every day).

classrooms must be cleaned and wiped down with alcohol each time kids enter/leave the classroom.

The country has gone mad.

riiight

so the "conspiracy theory" says that the swine flu vaccine has dormant diseases in it. (whaat?, i thought someone might care!:P )

"the" conspiracy theory? there is only one conspiracy theory?

People have too much time on their hand.

The law of conspiracy theories goes that the more boring your life is, the more intricate/detailed/stupid conspiracy theories you will develop or accept. Since I rarely buy into them, my life must be extremely interesting. Huzzah.

Tamiflu-resistant swine flu spreads 'between patients'

Health officials say a Tamiflu-resistant strain of swine flu has spread between hospital patients.

Five patients on a unit treating people with severe underlying health conditions at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, were infected.

Three appear to have acquired the infection in hospital.

They are thought to be the first confirmed cases of person-to-person transmission of a Tamiflu-resistant strain in the world.
