A professor over at Humboldt State University was infected with the swine flu and has since passed away. M. Wayne Knight was hospitalized with complications from the infection. He expired shortly after his admission to Mad River Hospital. Sadly, Knight was only sixty years old. If there’s any institution that has a swine flu [...]
Remember that madness that went on throughout almost all of September? Well, that seems to have calmed down quite a bit. During this month, the amount of reported cases has diminished as well as the number of deaths. Things are looking up for anyone afraid of getting the ol’ H1N1 on their college campus. Basically, [...]
Even though there have been over 600 cases of H1N1 and a death at Cornell University, they still aren’t planning on shutting down the school or changing any of the class schedules. I guess they’re doin’ a good thing by not creating a panic, but hopefully they’re also doing the right thing by not causing [...]
Swine Flu scare is now in full swing. I actually might have had a little touch of it myself this past week. Trust me, I felt like utter shit, but I pulled through like a champ. Also, I was able to quarantine myself for hours on end. For those of you on a campus, that [...]

There are very simple ways to keep yourself from getting swine flu this season. I’m not too sure about how certain everyone is that this breakout will be as intense as they say it will be, but there’s no harm in being safe. There is a vaccine that will be going out this October, but [...]
As I reported the other day, colleges are worried about another outbreak of swine flu. Fox News reports on an outbreak at the University of Alabama where 54 students have been infected. I guess they’re not doing everything they should be.
That’s right, folks, batten down the hatches because it’s assumed that the H1N1 virus will be threatening again once flu season hits this Fall. Colleges and universities are planning on giving students the best suggestions on how to prevent outbreaks and how to deal with your illness if you happen to contract the virus. Students [...]
