H1N1 R2D2


Summary:

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan believes that students are doing a great job of trying to prevent the spread of germs. He also believes that the new H1N1 vaccine could not come soon enough, especially because of how much the swine flu has effected schools around the country. The only problem is, there is not enough of the vaccine for people, including the ones who are at the greatest risk.


The Center for Disease Control has estimated 4,000 deaths caused by swine flu, and just this week about 35o schools were shut down. In my opinion, I believe this is a serious illness, but people are blowing everything way out of proportion. As a survivor of "Swine '09," I know first hand that a lot of the violent results could be prevented. I also believe that it is a good thing that the vaccine was created so people could get it, but I don't understand why it would be distributed if there was clearly not enough for everyone, including those at risk, to receive it. And commenting on Mr. Duncan's belief that children are doing a relatively decent job trying to prevent the spread of germs, obviously they are not doing that great of a job because look at the statistics! 4,000 deaths.
