You Feelin' Swiny?

A whole new round of swine flu scare has hit SoKo. Some 3,000 people now have it here. Many schools are not allowing anyone (students and teachers) to return to school for a week after they have returned from an other country. Conveniently, our school is only applying that to our students. Couldn't have our new teachers quarantined for a week...they wouldn't get any training! We couldn't have that, now could we? Other precautions are extra hand washing sessions and temperatures being taken in the middle of class.

We even had our own little mini swine scare. One of our co-workers has had a cold since we returned from Indonesia, and then she found out one of her friends in Seoul has swine flu. She has since been tested and is certain she does NOT have it, but that was close to being our own little crisis. As much as I would love a few extra days off, I have a feeling it wouldn't be worth the school being closed down for awhile....
