- XorpheusX, on 04/26/2009, -1/+98'sup Digg from Steele High School. School is not closed indefinitely, currently the plan is only for a week, and I suppose near the end of the week they'll think about more time, but that probably won't happen. Also, today we got word that it's not just Steele, but they've decided to shut down the entire district for the week.
As of right now we are being instructed to basically stay home all week, though really the CDC has effectively given us Spring Break: Part 2. I know I'm not going to hole up in my room all week. - inactive, on 04/26/2009, -3/+79Schoooooools out, for-eveeeer!
- lhbaker, on 04/26/2009, -6/+81I wish people would take this more seriously. This situation is very real. During the live White House briefing, the CDC warned people to be ready in case the government has to react to local situations. Janet Napolitano has declared a national health emergency.
This briefing is happening today - Sunday - so that it will be headline news tomorrow. This is not media sensationalism, it's an attempt to minimize the impact of a new, dangerous flu strain. What could you possibly stand to lose by actually taking precautions? - bigfatphony19, on 04/26/2009, -0/+68HURRY, SHOOT ME IN THE HEAD
- bigfatphony19, on 04/26/2009, -1/+61Holy sweet jesus *****, I live in San Antonio and my throat started feeling sore today.
I hope I don't die. - relaxeder, on 04/26/2009, -0/+60lol @ the Left 4 Dead ad hanging over the page right now.
- relaxeder, on 04/26/2009, -0/+55You're turning!
- S1ngular1ty1, on 04/26/2009, -0/+54I don't talk to people so I'm cool.
- anocka, on 04/26/2009, -4/+56Quick! send the infected to Madagascar before the borders close. They must get infected this time!!

"If you are a Steele student planning on attending a neighboring school prom or other event, be advised that you may not be allowed to attend."
Man, that's not a school closure, that's a quarantine, only they're not really calling it that. - udjet, on 04/26/2009, -1/+48Great, thanks to you your quick thinking, now we have to quarantine Digg as well...
- catalysis, on 04/26/2009, -0/+43Digg users will be the only ones left after the swine apocalypse.
- gugin, on 04/26/2009, -0/+39It's the swine of the times.
- Megadeth222, on 04/26/2009, -2/+40School closed INDEFINITELY?
- S1ngular1ty1, on 04/26/2009, -2/+39Indefinitely means for an undetermined amount of time not "forever".
- joebus, on 04/26/2009, -0/+32Too bad for you, Madagascar has already closed its borders!
- bigfatphony19, on 04/26/2009, -0/+32Who wants my PC?
Also, the rube goldberg device sounds cool, but I want to be cremated and have my diseased ashes put into the AC system of wherever the next Nickelback concert is.
Also, I don't have friends so no need for e-mails. - MavRevMatt, on 04/26/2009, -0/+32But that undetermined amount of time could mean forever.
- UnstopableMoron, on 04/26/2009, -5/+34This is obviously a conspiracy by the U.S. government. Or the Mexican one. Or the Swedes. I'm actually not sure who did it, but it is definately a conspiracy.
- lingfield, on 04/26/2009, -1/+29hahaha, shows what you know. Madagascar has no airports, just a sea-port.
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -2/+29Jeez, I didn't think Texas would go this far to leave the Union.
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -0/+26Luckily the viruses are suspended in microscopic aerosols which are effectively blocked by even the cheapest mask, which is why health departments hand them out in situations like this.
- oxymoron69, on 04/26/2009, -5/+30Make sure you get your pills, stock up on ammo and always travel in a group of 4.
- MrApocalypse, on 04/26/2009, -0/+24Awesome game.
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -2/+26I don't dig on Swine.
- S1ngular1ty1, on 04/26/2009, -5/+28Buy firearms and ammunition.
- XenoSNK, on 04/26/2009, -1/+24I haven't really heard about any precautions that I can take. Stay indoors?
- Megadeth222, on 04/26/2009, -0/+22$40 dollars for prom tickets, not bad not bad
- EmperorOfCheese, on 04/26/2009, -0/+20Washing your hands frequently is the best thing you can do.
- S1ngular1ty1, on 04/26/2009, -0/+20Touche...
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -3/+23well the government didn't really inform us about 9/11....
- Nephrastar, on 04/26/2009, -2/+22"President Texas! A man in Madagascar is coughing!"
"Gasp!
SHUT.
DOWN.
E V E R Y T H I N G"
Seriously though... that's scary - relaxeder, on 04/26/2009, -0/+20GRAAAAAAAIIIIINNNS!
- jamaster06, on 04/26/2009, -1/+20Where do I pick up my mask?
- XorpheusX, on 04/26/2009, -0/+19Yup. Are you nearby? Maybe I can come and infect you with my horrible disease that the CDC thinks we all have.
Going out is still safe though, because those students who have jobs have for the most part been instructed not to come in this week. I know there's about 50 Steele students at HEB (south Texas grocery chain for those that don't know) and all of them are off for the week. - PhillyMJS, on 04/26/2009, -0/+19Breaking News

- Ohnodonho, on 04/26/2009, -2/+18Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy *****. Pigs sleep and root in *****. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own feces.
- pinguz, on 04/26/2009, -0/+15In other news: a dark, faceless man in cowboy boots was seen walking down the road near the school
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -0/+15I don't think you know what indefinitely means, guinpen.
- CedarPark, on 04/26/2009, -2/+17There's no need to react irrationally, but to all those who are griping about the media coverage:
Go read a book you illiterate sons of bitches.

- judicar, on 04/26/2009, -0/+15If you do please have the decency to have all your ***** packed and be standing in front of an open grave when it happens, it would also be nice to have rube goldberg device that then buries you and emails your friends.
