Swine flue outbreak

Now in Shikokutyuuou city, Ehime Prefecture, in Japan, we are facing Swine flue outbreak.
Suddenly, leaded to widespread infection among students.
We, teachers are pressed for small jobs, like the communication with the absentees and the prevention of spread and change of teaching schedule and stop for shool lunch.
We have been working to prevent the spread of the flue since summer.
I feel imponent in front of the strong infection of swine flue.
Some grades are closed for a whole one week, and siblings of patients are not allowed to go to school. And, students and teachers are encouraged to obey strict rules.

For example
1 throughness of hand-wash and gargle.
at the arriving at school
after meeting and cleaning
at the coming back from outdoor
before school lunch
2 check students temperature in every morning.
3 wear a mask all day.
4 spacing of student's sheats.
5 form front-facing seat and eat school lunch in silence.
6 ban on meetings and singing and group activities
7 cut of the events, like a flea market by students
8 change of musical concert

There is a lot of lot of rules. We have to drive students home to do these rules.
I feel pressed from the severe crisis management.

If children have a fever, we immediately call up their mother.
They can't work. Previously, swine flue will strangle the economy because it will disrupt people to work. The economic costs of swine flue in the world would be many times higher than previous estimates.

And now, a lot of parents rush in hospitals, even if child's symptoms isn't severe, because of the fear from the imformations to become severe. As listenning the swine flue news, I'm getting to feel that swine flue is a life-threatening disease.
I'm convinced that hospitals would be crowded severely.
Besides the goverment often significantly alert priority list of the vactination with influenza vaccine. Medical institutions are running short of influenza vaccine. I feel really sorry for them.

People say,"Humans don't have immunity against a new flue.But Fortunately, almost students already recovery from symptoms. It's not severe.
Some people's immune systems are strong enough to stop the virus from replicating. And not all people who have a virus become ill, some are only carriers.
Originally, virus can live by the host of virus, so if the host died, the virus would die too. The virus should create a mechanism not to kill the host. I think that it is necessary to find out the cause to become severe.

After all, now I just be powerless in the new disease outbreak.
I should take care of myself.

For now, I want to boost the immune system's ability to fight infections.
I try to care my lifestyle habit, good foods and healthy lifestyle.
For foods, taking mushroom and yogurt and green and yellow vegetables.
And try stress free.
