Closing the schools for a week as reported in today's The New
Paper would hopefully prevent the spread of the flu. However, is it
really necessary? Is swine flu really that deadly? More people die
of car accidents than the swine flu each day. Should they outlaw
cars instead?
Swine flu is already labelled a pandemic already, it is just
that it hasn't mutated even further yet. This is a good reason for
them to close down the schools.
If memory serves me right, the last major pandemic also start
out quite small, and ended up killing over 20m people in the world.
I am not joking or scaring you here.
Oh, and there is also the fact that they do not have an exact
vaccine to deal with swine flu yet.
