Possible swine flu outbreaks at L.A. County schools

This is only the beginning, folks.....

thats what happens when u don't close the borders, more than just illegals cross it!

Great work. Let's not name the schools so we can protect our children. The districts will lose millions in revenue if students take preventitive measures and stay homework from school.
You have to love a country that develops a virus that 200 million people will have to be vaccinated against. Capitalism at it's best.
And yes. This is just the beginning. Swine flu will affect millions of citizens this year costing taxpayers billions of dollars and the drug companies will pad their fat pockets. But don't worry. Soon every man woman and child legal or illegal will have health insurance. Paid for by YOU!

This is what happens when parents just send their kids to school sick, and they know they are sick. Why don't parents do what they are here to do and take care of their kids. When your kid is sick keep them home, don't push them off to the school to get other kids sick. Parents use the brain that GOD gave you.

If the parents keep the kids at home how will they get fed? We all know how the dependency on free breakfast and lunches determines the choice to send the sick kid to school or not. GRATIS, GRATIS, GRATIS!!!!!!!!!

What ever happened to Personal responsibility ? Stay home when you are sick don't go out and spread it around.

GREAT idea but mom and dad go to work sick so why should they keep the kids home ? Personal responsibility is gone

Why doesn't the DN or the LAUSD tell us which schools are affected.

Sometimes parents go to work sick because their employers don't provide health coverage. If you make say 88 to 100 dollars a day and you stay home for 3 days, that's a big chunk out of the paycheck. Also, if you have a lot of work staring you in the face because other employees are slackers and get away with it, you come in sick just to keep up with the workload. I've seen both issues happen a lot and when you go in sick, you make everyone else sick. I've even seen volunteers come in with colds and make everyone else ill as well.

No I'm not pushing the health care system proposed in Congress and I'm not saying it is right but that's what happens.

County Department of Public Health officials declined to name the schools because of privacy concerns

is the same as:

The CEO stepped down today in order to spend more time with his family.

Public Health officials care more about "privacy'
than public health.

Once again, it goes to show that the government could give a hoot
about the public.....in any regard.
