More Schools Closed Over Swine Flu
By Javier C. Hernandez, NY Times
The city has closed two more Queens schools, and a school in Brooklyn, to shutter after students showed symptoms of swine flu, staff at the schools said on Friday.
Students at the two Queens schools, Junior High School 74 in Oakland Gardens and Public School 107 in Flushing, were informed Friday afternoon that the schools would be closed until May 26. The city also instructed Intermediate School 318 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to close its doors.
The closings came after the teachers union on Friday presented education and health officials with a list of schools recommended for closing because of high numbers of absent children, a union official said.

"Dr. Bloomberg, to the emergency room, STAT. We found a replacement heart for that one that's been missing for so long."

Hisssstory will show that they are going to replace one snake heart with another. No change! Move along. Nothin' to see here. Frieden's replacement will be chosen to toe the party line. This city needs a real transfusion because new blood will bring a much needed change.
Avella's my choice as well.
"Dr. Bloomberg, to the emergency room, STAT. We found a replacement heart for that one that's been missing for so long."
Good one. You made my day!

Unfortunately for him, the donor has the swine flu.
Doctor Commissar "Kill it!" is once again practicing medicine without a license.
This moron Frieden was so busy slobbering up Obamoron's ass to get that CDC appointment, that he just gave the finger to the victims and potential victims of the Swine Flu.
And, that made the Commissar swoon with joy that more illness would occur. Anything to keep people from noticing the destruction he's inflicted!
Say good-bye to the Commissar on November 3. Let's have someone who has the right head and heart for the job of Mayor.
WHO? You need to ask Who!?
Tony Avella; that's who!
they need to close Francis Lewis High School
Oh no; does this mean we have to listen to sniveling Mayor Mike's bi-lingual news conferences? What about the Chinese, Koreans, etc?
