Rather than dwell on planes of existence, which can never exist, Canadians encountered the flu season with a new strain of flu, and few new ideas. Schools should have closed for the duration. Since it is senior medical staff and senior executives and their families have access to the first batches of vaccines.
Schools are so scared of shutting their physical doors. In reality, with modern technology schools require much less space than schools thirty years ago. The computers and the internet have permitted the concept of students learning at home.
Schools and the concepts of education appear antiquated. It should be very possible for a student to learn something from miles and miles away without being physically in the room with teacher. The spread of the H1N1 virus was wantonly unnecessary for that very reason.
Yes I believe in having actual schools and classrooms. But mandatory presence of the student is not. School students must access real classes and central services frequently. The schools' systems are the last sector of society to undergo significant technological improvements.

Flu, flu, flu! I'm sick and tired of hearing about the flu. How did our ancestors, living in mud huts and using the streets as latrines, who never even heard of toilet paper or antibacterial soap or soft paper tissues, ever survive long enough to reproduce?
We ALL got the frakking flu, the strong survived and reproduced and the weak died, never getting old enough to reproduce. A lot of young and old people got buried. That's life on Planet Terra, folks!
If I'm old and it's my time to go, so be it. Come get me, flu.
There's way too many cranky old men and women hanging around these days anyway, using up all the resources, simultaneously complaining about the cost of everything.
Toughen up and face reality! There's way too many of us adding up all our aches and pains these days and it's time to get the hell out of the way, wisdom of the aged be damned.
