The B.C. government says school closures are not part of its plan to deal with outbreaks of the swine flu when classes return in September.
The province, in its wisdom is instead preparing for a possible resurgence of the H1N1 flu virus with a pandemic plan that includes new information and materials for parents, students and schools, according to provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall.

Before Gordo and his band of car-dealing liberals (sorry car dealers!) do anything, they first consult their 2010 Ouija board.
Examples: Gordo Ouija Board-o says…
• 10 to 15 percent of scheduled surgeries from September 2009 to March 2010, on top of the 2,000 that are being cut during the five-week Olympic slowdown. In total, between 6,300 and 9,600 surgeries and a layoff of more than 110 surgical staff as a result.
• Freezing of MRIs at last year’s budgeted levels, meaning each hospital will do fewer MRIs than last year.
• Eleven contracts ended for mental health services, including programs to assist victims of abuse.
• Ending 12 seniors’ programs in Abbotsford, Burnaby, Chilliwack, Langley, Maple Ridge, Mission, New Westminster, White Rock, and the Tri-Cities.
Gordo’s band of death eaters have decided that Elementary school children (if they are to live to pay off the 2010 Olympics [by 2099 anyway…]) will need to…
- suck it up and get your asses back in the classes!
- only the worthy future taxpayers will survive – also know as Gordovian Selection
Dr. Perry Kendall also pontificates…
“Closures early last spring were initiated out of an abundance of caution because we had very little information on the novel flu virus at that time. It has since become apparent that the disease caused by this virus is generally mild and does not warrant such severe measures.”
Right. If this coming pandemic was thought to be a threat to Gord and his band of merry parasites in industry and at VANOC, I assure you… they would spend whatever it took to turn off the Sun, switch off gravity and turn Vancouver into Oz.
Wait. They are already doing that.
Peace in 2010, out.
