campus epidemics
Laura - is it too rash to suggest you just go home for a bit while this clears up?

I heard the main campus of the school I work at is also catching on. Ooooh please let them close!

85, Bar.

About 25% of the school has the flu, including professors who are having to cancel classes because they are sick as well.

The administration's response?

Don't touch door handles.

Don't fucking do it then. The school knows best.

That sucks. And is insane.

I don't know if you Americans did this, but a couple of years ago, there was this widespread effort promoting that people should sneeze into the crook of their arm/elbow, instead of into their hands. Wtf? Like walking around with a snot-covered arm all day is healthier than sneezing into your hand, which you can then wash?

They actually had posters all around my school showing people how to do this.

Did someone mentioning azz smacking earlier? Then my name a little later? I sure hope so, cos someone as funky as me hits that shit right, and often.

Remember:

I'll be going home this weekend to see Obama and Clinton Saturday night.

I was supposed to have some friends stay with me this weekend, but my parents can't be around people who could possibly be carrying the flu, since they'll be visiting my nephew next week (they started my sister on the drip at 11:30 this morning, so I could get the call at any minute!)

They taught us to sneeze on poor people on the hopes that they would get sick, die, and then alleviate some of the surplus population - hence lower taxes. It's a win/win, really.

I would imagine that this is why the crime rates in NYC have so rapidly declined over the years, too.

I don't remember the promotion of this, but I've always sneezed into my elbow.

[U2democrat]

I've been coughing into my elbow, especially when playing guitar hero

 

[phillyfan26]

I was going to drop a dynamite post, and I can't remember it. Fuck.

Yep. Shit's no joke. And I only sneeze into my elbow if I have a poor person in a headlock.

 

[U2democrat]

Gah I just want my nephew to be born.


It's so hard being so far away and not knowing what's going on! (My sister's in Indianapolis)

 

[phillyfan26]

It's like 60 degrees here today. It's insane. Fucking Al Gore killing the polar bears and shit. Crazy.

It's almost 70 here today. Greatest thing ever. I didn't have to warm up the car before leaving for school or anything. There was dew on my windsheild. Fucking dew.

Al Gore

 

[VintagePunk]

Guess I'm alone in not seeing the wisdom of elbow sneezing. Sigh.

Fuck you and Douche Bag as well.

With my niece it was about 10 hours I think...? But there was an infection and a week after she was born both she and my sister were back in the hospital and we weren't sure that either would make it through. They did and they're both very healthy, but it was quite a scare.

I almost died after my birth too. I was born with a mixture of fluid in my lungs, and was in intensive care for seven days before they finally stablized me.

 

[U2democrat]

It's 77 here

Strong storms expected tonight

 

[redhotswami]

Guess I'm alone in not seeing the wisdom of elbow sneezing. Sigh.

No I agree...I just didn't think about it til you mentioned it. I'll sneeze on my hands from now on!

Glad you made it through


The good thing is my sister is in better health now than 4 years ago when she had my niece

I'll switch to hands, M'Lady.

Toronto Public Health had posters about it in bus shelters... I find the need for this disturbing.

Well, most of my sneezes aren't snotty, I usually hold that in till I have tissues. Also, I don't touch anyone with my inner elbow; I touch people with my hands. Yes, you can wash them, but it might be a while, especially in school, where there are many teachers who don't let you out to use the bathroom.
