Yes you are so correct & it is spreading through our schools at a very alarming rate . With the normal flu you don’t have 100 sick kids at once etc... Alot of new cases being reported in Chicago , NH , schools etc..

I work in a location right now that we have lots of school kids coming through on their end of school year field trips. Two counties worth of elementary schools. One school already closed due to confirmed swine flu. Plus one boss took vacation in Mexico this week!

Do I need to say I am totally freaked out. Probably not, ‘cause I've been venting on various flu threads. Check my profile and you'll see one from early this morning. Lack of concern by our government is what I will hold at fault.

This flu has been active in Mexico since Feb. and known since March. As cases and deaths continued to mount the border should have been closed 8 weeks ago. All travel to Mexico banned. Sure that would've thrown a little detour into the Americas conference, but we didn't need to be there anyway. And thousands of other Americans didn't need to vacation in Mexico. Enough notice and other plans could have been made, often with travel companies cooperation.

I am mad at the total disregard the 0bama Administration directed to this outbreak. I am mad that they let Americans travel on their spring breaks to a known infected area. Where the hell were the travel warnings? There is no plausible reason that 19 positions in HHS are vacant. The Administration can't fill them? This is an emergency...recall the old ones fools. Suck it up and work as a nation and not a partisan hack, the country is depending on the government and they are going to fail us! We don't have time for an orientation tour of the HHS department. Nobody from that department should have been let go until there were hip pocket replacements. Negligence & mismanagement.
