Aly had listened to the radio (duh) and had quickly changed her lesson plans to match.

"I had another lesson plan for today," Aly said once everyone was there. "But this one was on my list of topics too, and it seems far too appropriate for this week. I hope you all don't need it, but here we go."

She handed out a thick booklet of First Aid situations along with a First Aid kit. "In case you haven't been listening to the radio, there's a pretty nasty flu or something going around. Already I see that there aren't quite as many people here as there usually are. So...I hope none of this is needed and whatever sickness it is goes away quickly but this is helping healers 101."

"First thing? Do what they tell you to and get out of their way," she said. "Trust me, if you haven't been on the end of a doctor's lecture about how you're slowing them down when they're trying to help people? You don't ever want to be. It's...scary. And I don't use that word all that often. Secondly? You need to take care of them too. Healers are all stubborn, stubborn people who generally won't acknowledge they're sick if they're in the middle of a collapse. So keep an eye on them, bring them sandwiches and coffee, and make sure they're not overworking.

"It sounds like one of the big problems right now is a fever," Aly continued after a long pause to look at the room more closely. She frowned for a moment but continued. "If you haven't taken care of people with a fever before, you want to be sure they're drinking as much water as possible and keep cold cloths nearby to help relieve the fever a bit. Everything else? What I said before. Do what the doctors tell you to do."

She paused, eyeing the class again. "If you're not feeling well or a friend's not feeling well, take them down to the clinic. There's nothing that's worth infecting others or making yourself worse by not getting proper treatment. Take care of each other. You're all good at that."

Play with your new (and moddable!) first aid kit.

Sokka looked very, very worried. And vowed to himself (once again) to start listening to the radio.

Adam was worried by what he'd heard on the radio. He inspected his first aid kit, wondering if there was anything he could do to help.

A trip to town hall was in order.

Eve sat there, staring into her first aid kit and trying not to pass out. Or fall over in her chair. Neither would've been good.

Peter could do a little when it came to injuries. Illnesses, he was clueless about. He wondered if there was anything he could really do at this time.

Billy checked out the first aid kit. It seemed pretty complete.

Inara looked carefully through the first aid kit, trying to figure out what the different items inside it were used for and how they differed from what she was used to.

Molly paid extra careful attention and looked through the first aid kit thoroughly.
