Kings’ on flu alert
9:20am Friday 10th July 2009
ANOTHER Hampshire school has had its first confirmed case of swine flu.
Kings’ School in Winchester said one of its female pupils was told by her doctor that she had the influenza A type H1N1 virus.
Deputy head Geoff Lucas said that the school was remaining open and there were no other suspected cases of the condition either among teachers or students.
He added the girl with swine flu had been at school prior to being taken ill and that she will now be off for at least five days.
He said: “Parents should follow the basic hygiene which the Health Protection Agency advises, monitor the child and if they show symptoms, to keep them off school.”

Okay now that that is out of the way, it's just the flu at the moment. The only reason it killed people in Mexico was due to bad water. We are all going to be exposed or get it. Just take care of yourself when you get sick and everything should be okay. There is nothing else you can do about it.
