It's Here!

Two probable cases of swine flu in Eastern Iowa. Probably will be confirmed by the end of today. Wash your hands, people!

This could get dicey, especially if it's get into the student population. Everyone goes to the bars, everyone lives in the dorms and because it's a college town, oodles of students go where on Spring Break? That's right! Mexico!!!!

Put it this way- I lived through the mumps outbreak of 2006, where I had to be stuck in an apartment with my roommate at the time, Colin who spent the week laying on the couch and groaning and talking about how swollen his glands and his nuts were. I swelled mildly, but nothing like him... and with the mumps-- it spread fast through campus. So cross your fingers and wash your hands!

**UPDATED: Minnesota's confirmed a case now...
