one person gets sick at a school, panic mode sets in and the school is shut
down. What does this teach our children? Nothing good, that's for sure.
It tells them that if you don't feel good, you don't have to go into work.
This is not a lesson we ought to be teaching our children. If you are
actually sick, that's one thing but just generally not feeling well without
specific symptoms is quite another. I heard of one area high school that
will be closed until Thursday due to one student having a probable case of
this flu. What a load of crap. Another load of crap is what Chicago
schools are telling parents. This load of crap is that if a student comes
to school with a cough and a temperature over 100 degrees, that student will
be sent home and they must stay home for 7 days. Can you say more hysteria?
I sure can and did. Again, what a load of crap.
I have two words for everyone, including the media and the federal
government, and those words are, "calm down". It's not worth getting
hysterical over. If you take the precautions that everyone should be taking
as a matter of course, you'll be all right. Getting hysterical will only
increase your blood pressure and stress level, neither of which are good for
your health to begin with. Dare I mention that this signals terrorists
that it doesn't take much to scare this country. Once again, this just
proves we aren't as safe as we once were due to projecting an image of
vulnerability. Is that a signal we want to be sending? It's not one I want
to be sending but liberals love a good crisis, don't they?
My advice to the media and the federal government and everyone else is to
take a chill pill and calm down. The world will be better for it.
