The Ukrainian Flu

While the United States is suffering from a swine flu epidemic, those of us in Eastern Europe are dealing with the Ukrainian Flu. Over the last few weeks, the “flu from the East” has slowly been making its way to Slovakia from Russia and the Ukraine. This week, we can say it’s here. The government has called the Ukrainian flu an epidemic. People are dropping like flies, and schools across Slovakia have closed down. EGT’s doors are still open even though we only have 65% of our students. I’ve heard that we are moving to an “adjusted schedule” tomorrow so that the students who are sick do not miss too many lessons.
