194 SCHOOLS IN MICHIGAN CLOSED DUE TO SWINE FLU!!! **list included**

My point is this: the title of the thread says

"194 SCHOOLS IN MICHIGAN CLOSED DUE TO SWINE FLU"

The truth is:

Every one of them will be open tomorrow.

wow. not good.

I will let you know about that in the morning...on Friday they were scrolling the closings along the bottom of the screen like when they close because of weather...

that doesn't count the schools closing in eastern illinois, wisconsin, montana, and so on.

of course the schools will re-open at some point.

Nevertheless their announced reopening date is tomorrow.

194 SCHOOLS =71,666 PUPILS

let's say half those kids have brothers/sisters who go to other schools that aren't closed and in 21 days, those brothers/sisters get sick, won't those other schools then close also for a time?

and say half those kids have two parents at home. those two parents are exposed by their sick kids who were home while the school was closed. the parents go to their places of employment and in 21 days do they close the work place for a time?

say half those kids have one parent at home, you get daycares involved. in 21 days the daycare closes for a time?

gonna get a bit messy isn't it?

as was said, the thread will be updated tomorrow.

see? updating tomorrow.

still from what i've seen, this is gonna get awful messy for many communities that are already hurting economically.

in case it was missed

don't you just love it that there are places (think tanks) that are already considering the cost of closing ALL ]/b]schools?

just remember, 21 days is the incubation period for the going around flu that isn't seasonal flu for which many schools are closing for a time.

This all seems mighty convenient given that cash-strapped boards of education get to save a lot of money that would otherwise go to salaries during this shut down...It takes one's eye off the architects of the economic crisis and has you focusing on the fear of the illusion of pandemics.

It wouldn't surprise me that when all this is over, they find that there really was no need for all these closures. But they will counter this criticism by trying to justify it by saying that the closures prevented illness and deaths.

never focus on fear and always......follow the money....be it pharma companies......school's......gov't.

oh yeah......and churches!
follow the money.

but know there is something that many children and adults are getting sick with, some very seriously to death.

oh ya, they are prolly getting sick all right, its one a the most massively chemtrailed places I ever seen. Im purty dang sure the sleazebags plan to empty that state of their useless eaters, and yup, they loves all that fresh water. Fishin time for the boys! Scum politicians are already talkin about coralling folks in Flint Michigan, gettin folks to live in only certain areas. WTF Guess Montana aint enough wilderness, they gotta have a lil northeast outpost for fun and games.

According to an article I read on [link to fluhealer.blogspot.com] The pandemic is much more worse than we think it is. To improve my chances of survival, I've purchased 100 facemasks to prepare for the worst if it ever comes.

poverty looms ahead for them for years. tubal ligation stops pre issues later in life invetro . tubal liation cost $3,000.00 baby cost $12,000.00 yearly when child care cost is added in plus larger apt plus foods meds diapers clothing insurance Dr visits time off from work for mom to care for sick contagious child. weekend baby sitting child care cost for jobs with rotating shifts and rototating days for the mom..gas to from child care . christmas toy birthday toys larger clothing for growing child.. mostwomen just do not have the money for the job to care for the kid.. kid is 20 decades odf expensive care work and responsibility.. of course couples devorce and this kid then get stuck wit a series of temperary step daddies. many are harsh with the child. ask any mom and child. ...tubal ligation frees the female to pursue a serious career college uninterrupted from birthing cost care etc issues...and no sad abortions no more need for birth control products.. .. most females cannot support thier self and a kid. after divorces or breakups . most could not afford the kid witheven a husband .

Well that makes sense I guess.
If you're gonna kill a bunch of useless eaters you might as well start with all those out of work auto workers.

Excuse me, but did you take your Thorazine today???

It seems like it would be cheaper to close them rather than leave them open.

Who has to pay THAT bill?

In my opinion:

This is an excuse because Michigan is going BROKE...Closed Schools means money not spent.

Hey Madam Governor.. We're are NOT blown away yet, Thanks for running this state into the ground.

Hey buddy, it was a joke.

I'm in Eastern Kentucky. I don't know about the other counties around here, but in this one the schools were closed two weeks ago on Thursday, Friday and Monday because of illness. They disinfected the schools.

A lot of good that did, this past week they were closed again on Thursday and Friday. I haven't heard yet if they'll be open tomorrow.

That first closing came on the heels of giving kids seasonal flu shots at school ten days before. My grandson didn't take a shot and he hasn't had flu, so far. He does have a bad cold, but he saw the doctor on Friday and she said it was definitely not flu of any type.

i just stumbled on this site. I live in Lewisburg,West Virginia and my 14 year old son is just getting over a confirmed case of swine flu.I am a nurse, and I have seen alot! I have NEVER seen flu symptoms anything like this.As soon as he was diagnosed, I set his room up like an isolated ICU unit (even had HEPA filters and UV lights)I used masks, gloves, etc when I cared for him, & HE WORE A MASK IF HE HAD TO LEAVE HIS ROOM. I was trying to keep my other 2 kids away from him.I also was trying to keep him out of the hospital and I was in contact with his doctor (for updates, info, etc) My son is 14 years old 6foot 3inches, about 160 pounds, athletic, healthy, no medical conditions. His temperature would go up to 105 degrees! I was using tylenol and motrin, had him in ice baths, everything I could do! It still took about 4 hours until his fever would start to go down, then it stayed at 102.9 degrees. I was forcing fluid in him, I even started waking him up every 2-3 hours to cough and deep breath to keep his lungs clear. A few times we thought he was better, and then it was like a bomb went off! 105 degrees again!! The thoughts of my 5 year old getting that sick terrifies me!! All 3 of my kids go to different schools, but ride the same bus. Even though my 5 year old and 11 year old were not sick, I have been keeping them home too. Guess what?! They didn't get it, I know when they go back to schhol lots of kids there have it . Who knows how many more over the weekend now. They are not going today (Monday 10/26/09), I want to wait and see how many more got it over the weekend. I checked on our county school policy and GET THIS: "AS LONG AS THEY HAVE ENOUGH STAFF TO TEACH, SCHOOL WILL REMAIN IN SESSION"! aM i SENDING MY 5 YEAR OLD AND 11 YEAR OLD INTO A DEATH TRAP? Just thought I would share this with yall. The lady on here who was mad that her sons school woulndt shut until 5 cases thought that was bad!!! THIS IS CRAZY, IRRESPOSIBLE AND UNBELIEVABLE!! This flu is just starting, it WIILL get worse in the next 2 months, and since I know what my kids schools policy is, I dont want to send the younger 2 back at all! My husband told me they will put me in jail if I keep them home and I really dont give a shit.I wonder if a student dies if they will shut down?! Just wanted to let yall know how stupid some parts of this country are. I am completely OUTRAGED!! By the way-last week 30% of his high school was out with swine flu. Although most of them were not as sick as him, they might not have had actual swine. Also no one here has had the H1N1 vaccine, and probably wont, or at the least it will be about a month before they are available. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA YEAR 2009?

This is all I could find about school closings this morning...

Flu Fears: Some schools closed due to illness

Flu fears are closing more mid-Michigan schools.

Standish-Sterling Community Schools will be closed Monday, October 26, 2009,

Shepherd Public Schools will be closed Monday and Tuesday.

School leaders say just too many kids are calling in sick. More than 100 schools across the state closed last week due to the problem.

Under state rules, a school with more than 25 percent of its students off cannot count that as an official day.
