This is just getting way out of hand,our children are getting sick and dieing from this virus.It’s time to do something about it NOW!!!
In all parts of Canada there are way too many children out sick with this virus and its spreading too quickly.
If our future is our children,CLOSE THE SCHOOLS NOW-PROTECT OUR CHILDREN!!

Moncton Blogger, the H1N1 Facebook group now has over 168,103 members, maybe you can change that in your article to let people know.

Great comment Andrew! Stand up and speak out!

As the creator of the group I have to say, if one person started pushing a small ball over the hill and got it to grow to 160 000+ people, why can’t we the public voice our opinions and get action? Stand up and speak out, you have nothing to lose.
To grant Russell’s wishes, several countries are starting to close up, just the news/media are not taking note… try googling schools closed due to H1N1, the results are plenty. The US, our neighbors have started to take safety into mind, closing schools. Why is Canada so far behind?
As a student, I’m not in for a vacation; I’m in for our health. If the government is elected to make decision on our behalf and keep us safe and stable, why have they yet to prepare our nation for this issues? Yes they may have bought vaccines, but are there enough? No, there isn’t. The vaccine seems to be more news than the strain itself!!! Is it too much to ask for our leaders to get what we need and ask them to test it like they should?
Also, I would rather push the pause button on school and press play again when this flu has gone and passed, rather than let it ravage through students and give it more chances to mutate. All this is going to take is one mutation and all the vaccines will be rendered useless and possibly a repeat the slaughter of 1918 will reoccur, the last H1N1 pandemic. Think about how the Olympics are coming to B.C! Do we really want this strain out of control as we invite world class athletes and spectators to our country? Let’s get this flu strain under control and let’s do it the safe way.

PS. Please join our group and let your individual voice turn into a group efforts roar. Take care:)

The schools should be closed for sure, Before it spreads more and kill’s people with underlying difficulties.

I only wish all schools in countries with high amounts of the H1N1 would be closed.

Yes I agree they should be closed down until all the kids gets the H1N1 flu shot. It’s spreading fast now.

Yes shut them down! Why spread the H1N1 even more? Lets have an early Christmas break and come back healthy after the New Year! or at least until we all get the H1N1 flu shot.

I’m in grade 9 and I say close the schools. There are so many people sick with H1N1 at my school and more and more are out each day. We haven’t even had a chance to get the H1N1 shot yet. Shut them down! I could use a break, lol

Yeah I agree that schools should be shut down. Our kids are the ones we are worried about. It’s our kids safety that’s at risk!

The schools should be closed until our kids are vaccinated and it will help stop the spread of H1N1. The Government fell behind on this and now they need to fix it! I’m just amazed and in shock on what chaos is going on over this H1N1. Not enough vaccine now???? That’s just unacceptable! The Government truly has let the people down….
