H1N1 Is Back In School Too
Swine Flu, AKA H1N1, AKA Novel H1N1, is joining students at move-in, apparently. Fortunately, the number of cases reported, while stretching nationwide, are hardly epidemic: a few people here, a few there.
Some institutions have had more sickness than others; the University of Kansas had 319 affected students at one point, but that number is now decreasing. The institution has 30,000 students, so while the illnesses are disconcerting, they represent just over 1 percent of the student population. Colleges and universities nationwide are urging students to protect themselves from infection and offering instructions for ill students.
You will all be surely comforted, however, that this valiant crusader is on your side against H1N1.
