ISCM vs. Swine Flu round 2

So here is the latest in the iSCM swine flu situation:
  • The flu continues to spread around camp and this time its hit the staff. There are about 5, probably more since it increases everyday, who have it or are suspected and are therefore quarantined just like the campers. There are about 20-30 campers who are in the infirmery and in buildings off camp isolated from the rest of the kids in attempts to keep it controled but obviously its not going so well.
  • I have had to move out of my apartment at Bouleaux ie. right next to camp and over to Cite Joie which is about a 15 minute walk. I`ve always wanted to live there so I was really excited about living somewhere new but the sucky part was having to pack and unpack on tuesday and then tonight I will be packing again to leave on sunday UGH oh well, totally worth it. Everyone living in Bouleaux and even in Crans Leman(the head counselors) have had to move places to make room for the sickies.
  • All of ISCM is on quarantine which means that for the next few dasy we cannot bring the campers on excursions or into town where there are alot of people because we`ve been told by the health department that we are at risk :S Soooo we are a little confined to our property a little which is giving our head counselors and specialists on assignment heart attacks because they have to plan for all these extra days when we need activities...its a little chaotic to say the least.
  • Finally, I am sick and have been all week. Every day its something else and I feel like my body is just shutting down on me due to exhaustion. Thankfully I`m heading home so I can sleep for 2 days cause I need it big time. But every day I check my temperature and pray that I don`t get swine flu and am stuck here....so keep your fingers crossed for me :)
2 more days till I`m back in Canada woohooo its crazy and bittersweet for me but exciting.

Until next time,
Jane xo
