Oh the woes of the Swine Flu

Parents are calling the school.

Freaking out.

Asking “What’s the plan? Tell us our children will be safe. Tell us you have a plan!!! You must.”

I haven’t seen anyone crying for the lost in Mexico. Trying to send supplies or meds. I am sure some medical organization out there is doing its part, but so far America has chosen fear, not empathy, for our Mexican counterparts.

We have the vaccines, we have the “containment procedures,” we have NO deaths yet. So let’s pray not only for our children, but for those lost in Mexico as well. Not only for our families, but the families of all those who are hurting or will be hurt from this pandemic.

And I’m not saying I’m not slightly scared. I am. I hate needles. And supposedly my job goes from being teacher to potential shot giver if this thing swings out of control. So let’s continue our prayers, but not forget anyone in the process.
