You wake up one morning feeling achy and feverish. The directions from health officials battling swine flu are clear: Stay home from work. Don’t risk infecting others. And certainly don’t send a sick kid to school.
But what if you’re one of the estimated 57 million working Americans with no paid sick days?
Staying home could mean losing a paycheck, or worse, losing your job entirely...Those least likely to have sick leave are low-income workers, particularly in fields like food services, child care and the hotel industry — in other words, the people you most want to be staying home if they’re sick.

We went to Fiesta Texas yesterday and it was the least crowded we can remember in a long time. We went to the waterpark and there were no lines for any of the rides so it was great. I did sneeze once when I was in the wave pool and looked around to see if anybody ran but nobody cared. I did see plenty of hand sanitizer being used but no masks.
Oh, well, we all still feel great and my kids went to school.
Theyve started closing schools in Macomb County Michigan because of this !
So ridiculous.
Talked to my dad the other night... he's an RT in Ludington (look it up; it's in the middle of f*cking nowhere). They're getting half the town's population in the ER every week thinking they might have swine flu
They just closed every school in Corpus Christi until the 13th. Due to one confirmed case. This is going to up a lot of peoples pay checks.
I really hoped the weekend would kill this story...
