Losing a child to a pandemic flu is nothing compared to missing some lessons at school"??? if the school is close, its not gonna be for one or two days, it will gonna be a few weeks, because what's the point closing the school for only a few days. so its not 'missing some lesson' its missing few a few hundred our of studying. and most of the student havent finish their syllabus! especially to those who will sit for a big exam at the end of this year.. YOU should think wisely. ur children can just wear mask and NOT get infected!! - concern readers Sun, 28 Jun 2009 06:27:59 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/200906261454/Local-News/swine-flu-in-brunei-hit-the-20-mark.html#comment-696 It amazes me how people view this extension of holidays. I for one agree that the reopening of school be delayed for a week to make sure that the current pandemic be maintained under control and so that necessary preventive measure to be supplied for every school. But if the holidays are spent by the children by going to the malls and 'lepak' with friends (which is what most the children have been doing for the past 2 weeks anyways), what use is that? The H1N1 virus can spread no matter where you are, not just in school. So, are you prepared to stay home for the entire reminder of your school holidays? And P.s. those comment stating you're too young too die... Don't be naive. Death is upon us no matter how young or old we are. Recommendation from CDC: Schools do not need to close unless they have large clusters of cases that are affecting school functioning. Schools that closed based on previous recommendations, such as if they had a single confirmed case or probable case, can now likely reopen. - Optimist Sun, 28 Jun 2009 06:24:58 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/200906261454/Local-News/swine-flu-in-brunei-hit-the-20-mark.html#comment-678 i definitely hope the government will extend the school holiday for atleast 3 days. because, i believe health is very important. and oh, please do not extend it too long, a week is enough, i think. i need to study for my AS exam, i dont want to rush learning the topics when school reopen. hmmmm, get me? - DkAzymah92 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 04:41:40 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/200906261454/Local-News/swine-flu-in-brunei-hit-the-20-mark.html#comment-663 I agree with Ali. just extend it. the country needs to calm down and think about this. Give anyone with symptoms who went to the hospital to get a check up some cash. more people will go to the hospital. I hope. And just wearing masks wont stop the flu from spreading. it will still spread, but at a lower rate. Health>studies I STRONGLY agree that school holidays should be extended, in my opinion. offtopic: Professor Oak's comment "The government have to provide pOkeball to all people so that the people can catch the most dangerous animal example pig,pikachu,tapir,babi hutan and Bulbasur. the important thing!! Raichu is still everywhere, the situation is getting worse as Raichu evolved into Lugia and formed bird flu *H5N1 and H1N1* i am the professor, im the master of pokemon. vote me! smilies/grin.gif " HAHAHA!

Extending the holiday untill this problem is under control is the best way.I'm not trying to take advantage but as i told u guys this is a serious matter..I'm too young to die!!!!!!!!!!! We all children just started our lives, we still got a long way to go, so pls... Why should we risk our lives for studying? Even though we have to study, but we must not risk our lives just only for studying, is it even worth it?>:(>:(>:(>:(>:(>:(>:(>:(>:(>:(>:(>:(>:(>:(>:( Haiz............... you guys just won't get it, by the way,you guys doesn't even know our feelings............... I'm not trying to do anything but I'm only eleven years old, i am really toooooooooooooooooooooooo young to die? I'm sorry for saying this but it is really URGENT. :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:( don't be angry at me but it is really urgent. - Sharon Tan Tze Wei Sun, 28 Jun 2009 03:24:13 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/200906261454/Local-News/swine-flu-in-brunei-hit-the-20-mark.html#comment-631 On one hand, I am happy to see a lot of students (or one very dedicated student) logging on to the net and reading about local news and contributing to discussion. In English no less. On the other hand, it saddens me to see that students dont want to go back to school, using H1N1 as an excuse to extend their holiday On topic, there is no need to extend the holiday at all. H1N1 is exactly the same as the normal flu, it is by no means any more dangerous than the normal flu. Read http://www.childrensmemorial.org/depts/infectious/swine-flu.aspx for example. It is one of MANY websites that describe H1N1 symptoms. Knowledge is power, people. Read up and chillax. Its not SARS. Its the flu. - Kyon Sun, 28 Jun 2009 01:48:40 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/200906261454/Local-News/swine-flu-in-brunei-hit-the-20-mark.html#comment-628 Close the school I've got courseworks due next week :S - A Sun, 28 Jun 2009 01:32:21 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/200906261454/Local-News/swine-flu-in-brunei-hit-the-20-mark.html#comment-622 Well, we all know that school has many people, hundreds of students and teachers. according to world health organization, The new influenza A(H1N1) appears to be as contagious as seasonal influenza, and is spreading fast particularly among young people (from ages 10 to 45). The severity of the disease ranges from very mild symptoms to severe [u]illnesses that can result in death.[/u] If one student or teacher is infected with H1N1, he/she may infect other people in school and it keeps spreading to their homes. Do the math, 1 class has 40 students. What if there were 20 students in that class that got infected. 20 families will be quarantined. Keep that in mind. Thank you for reading, ;D - student Sun, 28 Jun 2009 01:23:53 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/200906261454/Local-News/swine-flu-in-brunei-hit-the-20-mark.html#comment-619 "written by synt4x , June 27, 2009 yeah i truly agree with proactive. why risk ur children's life for lessons? and for the lessons, the school can have extra classes for the students to cover up once the virus is gone right?" Actually you are just lazy to go to school, perhaps. If you are determined to study for the sake of your future, then you will sacrifice all out, even your own life. Bear in mind that, "A book holds a house of gold", if you understand what i meant. - Low-profiler Sun, 28 Jun 2009 01:11:16 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/200906261454/Local-News/swine-flu-in-brunei-hit-the-20-mark.html#comment-616 is it true that the school holidays are extended? for another 1 week i heard? - anon Sun, 28 Jun 2009 00:57:48 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/200906261454/Local-News/swine-flu-in-brunei-hit-the-20-mark.html#comment-614 some students are having their pmb,spe,'o' and 'a'levels..how can they catch up on their studies when there are extra holidays..but they have to wait until the swine flu settles down..however..

TAKE PRECAUTION. WEAR A MASK. TAKE A FLU JAB. dont just ask for the holidays cause you want it, or cause you're too lazy or what so ever. yes, health is important. SO DO SOMETHING ABOUT! - concerned student - concerned student. yz.

Office and Schools should also be equipped or supply with mask or disinfection gel or fluid or whatever appropriate to minimize cause of infection. No holidays needed if those above are in place. - Ngian Sat, 27 Jun 2009 18:20:48 +0100 http://www.brudirect.com/index.php/200906261454/Local-News/swine-flu-in-brunei-hit-the-20-mark.html#comment-545 actually the injection for vaccination that the MOH gave us is only effective against seasonal flu...its not for H1N1 officially...and its a bit funny that most of the comments want to extend their school holidays...I also think its a wise idea for the moment...just for a precaution. If not, why not us, the people of Brunei start wearing mask just for a safety precaution? - Yes Man Sat, 27 Jun 2009 17:05:59 +0100
