JOURNLIZE- TOP STORY-WHAT 2 THINGS CAN WE DO TO HELP PREVENT THE "KILLER MRSR" INFECTION?Did you know about this top story before watching the video? After watchingthis video what are you going to do differently? What to do you think aboutthe "KILLER MRSR" infection?
Having soap in the bathrooms at all times makes it more sanitary. Sometimes you go in the bathrooms and when you go to wash your hands there is no soap. Kids that carry their own little bottle of hand sanitizer are very smart. I think if kids were more aware of what was going on they would know a little bit more about how to prevent it or handle it.
I did know about it before the video today. I saw it on the news at home. Although I wash my hands all the time, I have begun carrying my own little bottle of hand sanatizer, you never know when you will need it.
I think that the "Killer MRSA" infection is very dangerous. People should start doing everything they can to make sure they clean areas and wash/sanatize their hands constantly. It is very sad that there is no cure and lots of people are dying from it.
