John,

As I am sure you achieved your formal education from the interior of a cracker jack box. Your comments and views will be accepted with the same value and credibility. Thank you for your contribution. For those with questions and or concerns you will be best served to contact your local health professionals and educators. Do your home work.

My child came home from school saying they learned to cough and sneeze into their elbows with Germie Wormie, and I was totally taken aback. I always used my hands. But I went to the website, and now I get it, hands touch, elbows don't!! Kids can touch up to 300 surfaces in 1/2 an hour, and they hate to wash their hands. This is a simple thing that can make a huge difference. There is also an entertaining DVD that teaches kids how to do this and reinforces other important preventative habits. Even if you get the vaccination, you can still be a carrier of H1N1, which is why this 'hands-on' prevention is so important.

Check the Canadian and other news sources for a sense of what this "virus" potential for killing kids really is.

The health offcicer for my County thinks its ok to keep the schools open so parents can go to work--- so we have kids infecting kids here and it is spreading fast.

Since death or an extended stay in an intensive care unit is a potential complication, seems my risk tolerance is very low.

I'm tired of stupid people downplaying this pandemic--

There is anecdotal evidence that vitamin D is protective against swine flu. Two health care providers relate their experiences with vitamin D supplementation and swine flu

This "swine FLU" garbage is a hoax. Nothing to worry about. Its big pharma trying to rake in more profits while destroying your immune system.

DUH....
