Close the borders? Why should we close the borders?

It wouldn’t surprise me if the socialists in the executive and legislative branches of government used this as an excuse to deny large public gatherings such as the tea parties.

They can’t be blamed for Tues, and likely not Wed. He may not have been showing symptoms when he went to school. Thursday, however,.....no parent should send a kid to school the days they’re first coming down with something.

Problem is, he was most contagious those days.

Soooo; how did he get it? And he is at home; so that is good. Wish him 'well' - and soon.

Meantimne; hope this is not going to dominate all news; all the time. . .for every 'flu-bite' across the nation. Could we just stick to the facts and not embellish or speak of what; as a reporter; you do not know.

The third-grader visited several Mexican cities while on vacation with his family before ending the trip in Mexico City, Barnes said.

"He went to a fair, he went to a farm, he went to visit family around Mexico," Barnes said.

The boy, who returned from Mexico within the past two weeks, started feeling sick on Wednesday, Barnes said. He was treated for flu symptoms at a city health clinic, where an astute nurse practitioner began asking questions and realized he might have swine flu, Barnes said.

I was curious about symptoms, and thought I’d check this out. It’s the link to CDC if anybody is interested.

I guess he visited several Mexican cities ;-}

If the child is only a little bit ill, most schools prefer them to be there. Think it has to do with funding (not paid for that child if the child is absent). Parents no longer can use their own judgement on some of this.

The big question in a time like this is do you trust your gov’t to tell you the truth ?
