Eton closed after positive swine flu test

Eton College is also closed because of a swine flu test. The public school in Windsor, Berkshire, has closed for a week to halt the swine flu from spreading. It is now fifteen schools are closed in the UK because of swine flu. Student expecting to do GCSE or A-level exams and the school said that they cab do it under controlled conditions. The Health Protection Agency (HPA), announced yesterday 17 people in England and Scotland had had diagnosed with this disease. The Eton College is a popular college in England which educated 18 former British prime ministers including the Duke of Wellington, Horace Walpole and Harold Macmillan, the school, attended by Princes William and Harry as well as David Cameron and Boris Johnson. They celebrated this week the birth of George III and the boy who did not feel good did not join the celebration and the school director said that the boy may take their test when they come back at school.

Reflection:

Swine flue is one of the worst diseases that exist. There are many diseases in this world, but the most of them are curable. Fortunately this disease is also curable, but it spread very quickly all over the world. In this case it is difficult to make enough medicine to cure people all over the world. I guess the easiest thing that can stop this disease from spreading is, if someone gets ill should go to the doctor and stay at home till he/she gets healthy.

  1. Good blog. Do you think we should all stay at home in case we might be ill? The whole country would grind to a halt!
