    I have school age kids and every day there is something being emailed or sent home with hand washing instructions, sneezing and coughing info, when to keep kids home from school etc. I guess there are enough people out there that are idiots and rude that they have to educate. I know parents send their kids to school and just wait for the school nurse to call them at work so they don't officially have to call out of work for the day...because a call from the nurse is an emergency.

    ugh........:noway:

    Who wants to know the different ways to properly sneeze and cough?

    1. Sneeze into your sleeve.
    2. Use a tissue and a trash can!
    3. Used your hand? WASH IT IMMEDIATELY!

    Our hospital has restricted patient visitors to only essential adult visitors -- parents, spouse/domestic partner and spiritual counselors. No kids, no cousins, no sisters-in-law.

    Well, not your sleeve per se...but sneeze or cough into the crook of your elbow as opposed to your hand. There has been a strong push on behalf of most health organizations to change to this behaviour for quite some time...but more folks are hearing about it now, thanks to Pandemic Panic!

    I think it's a good habit for "everyday" coughs and sneezes but IMHO if you are so sick that you are leaving tracks on your sleeves, do me a favour and stay home!!!:sick:

    They say because now it is being passed from human to human now and not just from the piggys to humans. So they had to come up with some stupid thing for it.:grumble: :noway:

    They officialy changed the name 'cause the pork producers were going to go belly up (ha ha...I made a funny....pork bellies:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ). They are slaughtering all the pigs in some countries - Egypt, for one has ordered the slaughter of all their pigs - , cause they think that they are going to get the swine flu from eating pork. China has just banned Alberta pork!! Jeez, you'd think at least the world leaders would read the papers and get their facts straight.......

    :laugh: :laugh: My boss's last name is ****son and he sneezes really loud. So not only is his name politically incorrect but the man can't even sneeze properly. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Ok, let's try this. The first four letters of his name starts with D, ends with k and has the letters i and c in between.

    Holy cow!!!

    When I was a kid I learned to read from the ****, Jane and Sally books. That was before Jane and Sally's big brother's name was a dirty word. :ohwell: I wonder what the books would be called today.

    90% of egyptians don't eat pork. but they did slaughter all their pigs so they wouldn't get it.
