What sickness is going around?
In school everyone has been coughing and sneezing for about a week. I yet have not gotten it yet but my brother has. My brother threw up 4 times last night and did not go to school. Also a few other people haven't gone to school today too. I thought it was just a cold that has been spreading around but my brother threw up so I don't know what kind of sickness this is. My brother said I will get it no matter what happens and even If I don't get it he will make sure I do by touching all of my stuff and coughing on me. Do you think I will get it? how do I avoid getting it?

You probably live in Kentucky, Montana, or Colorado? there's stomach viruses going around there.
The only way to prevent from getting it is making sure you're washing your hands really well with warm soap and water for 30 second before touching your face or your mouth. Bad hygiene on anyone's part could cause you to get sick. If it's norovirus, you are screwed because it only takes 10 virus particles to infect someone, is highly contagious, and often survives cleaning.

how to prevent the annual back to school flu bug is the best question ever!! NO ONE KNOWS!!
Drink fruit juice and eat good balanced food plan with all varieties of foods in it! Try hard not to associate with anyone closely who is sniffing and sneezing or coughing! If you stay slightly away from them you may not get it.
Or you can go get some of those dust masks and wear one all the time so you don't get direct inhalation of those germs! And slug him when he doesn't mind his better behaviour by coughing in your face!!
