New York City closing three schools to deal with big flu outbreakDAILY NEWS STAFF
New York City has closed three schools to deal with another swine flu outbreak.
An official familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that the decision affects three public schools in Queens. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the shutdown has not been announced.
According to Channel 7 News, the schools are:
I.S. 238 Susan B. Anthony in Hollis
I.S. 5 Walter H. Crowley in Elmhurst
P.S. 16 in Corona
A Health Department spokeswoman says that four students and a staff member have tested positive for swine flu at one school. The staff member is critical. She says hundreds of other students have been out sick with flu symptoms at the other schools in recent days.

Hmmm. This is more serious than previously thought. And still Mayor Bloomberg didn't feel it was necessary to close the schools earlier this week..Pitiful...And his Spanish is horrible
Bloomberg likes it hard up in the ass.
bllomberg wont even call it swine flu and now speaking spanish at his press confrences this is a discgrace get rid of this dopey bastard
This is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
Panic and close the schools unnecessarily and you create financial havoc for parents who can't easily make new childcare arrangements, skip work or take their children in with them.
Don't close the schools when necessary and people die.
As much as I dislike Bloomberg, this is a decision that takes substantial input from health care professionals and some time for evaluation.
when this first came about the president should of stopped people from traveling in and out of mexico. other countries are alot more strick when it comes to this,but not in america. mayor bloomberg is an ass and i'm sure there's alot more schools that children are sick that we don't know about.
A brief essay on Queens:
Thank you clubhouse, for making Queens identical with the 3rd world.
First you insult us by embracing Archie Bunker (disenfranchising non-immigrants and making them an object of ridicule)
Then you close or cut back on services (hospitals, parks etc) making this boro a dump so you can fund tweeder programs and development projects,
Then you do everything to bring in the 3rd world (with their 3rd world habits) to nail the coffin shut.
The entire boro is systematically being hollowed out. It is obvious to everyone (except for those bright lights in eastern Queens that are too stupid to see what is coming) that it is being rebuilt (starting at the western edge) in the image of Manhattan.
First vulgarism:
Bloomberg likes it hard up in the ass.
Then incoherent, misspelled run-on sentences with no punctuation or capitalization:
bllomberg wont even call it swine flu and now speaking spanish at his press confrences this is a discgrace get rid of this dopey bastard
Then more abuse of the English language:
when this first came about the president should of [sic] stopped people from traveling in and out of mexico. other countries are alot more strick [sic]...
And finally an "essay" containing bald contradictions:
The entire boro is systematically being hollowed out... it is being rebuilt... in the image of Manhattan.
As always, the quality of discourse at Queens Crap is a "C-" at best.
And you did nothing to raise it. Why not just go away if you don't like it?
Crowley school - swine flu? Surprised? Where is the namesake Congressman addressing this national issue here at home? Maybe he and Ms. Markey are porking together to come up with a too late response. Hello anybody home?
