Prevention posters are spreading faster than the virus itself. They are plastered every three feet over every available surface.
It is now required to wear a mask when entering Medical Building, just in case.
Person Who Sneezes Loudly sneezed again in Ochem today, several people yelled out "swine flu!" and the entire class started laughing.
There have not been any reported cases since the first one several days ago.
It's all (mostly) just a big, big hype.
Crazy Redhead Mathematically-Inclined Friend, Friend Who Likes Science-Fiction, and Friend With Many Pairs of Sunglasses are all sick. Not the flu, no, just a nasty cold. We have established a minimal-contact rule to minimize sickness, even though Bookish Friend is sure to get it in a couple of days at the most. I haven't touched another human being in three days. I miss hugs...
Do you have swine flu?

Childish Booksmart Friend had to turn in a paper at 17:00 today, I ran into her (figuratively) on the street as she was running (literally) to the professor's office at 16:57. We ran together and passed at least four other people who were running to various destinations with term papers in their hands. Ah, deadlines, deadlines...

It's difficult to blow your nose with a mask on.
I've become pretty disgusted over the last few days with the media's swine flu obsession.
For them it's just another sensational, ratings-driving story, but their irresponsible treatment of it is causing unnecessary panic in the wider world.
