Here is a link to see the nation wide coverage of h1n1 by the college media http://www.google.com/cse?cx=003461250140704565182%3Adqcbi01llhy&ie=UTF-8&q=h1n1 I love the point you made about why this has spread so quickly on college campuses: “Teachers were not prepared for the waves of absences which occurred; many of which were caused by a single student not willing to miss lecture and infecting everyone in the classroom.”

One thing the media is failing to publicize is that one of the symptoms of H1N1 is that it feels like a very light version of the flu (like a hangover) on the first day, gets bad enough to prompt rest, the patient starts to feel better AND THEN they come down with the heavy duty flu symptoms, at which point, they've already infected other people because they didn't think they were that sick. This is the part that makes H1N1 so contagious. I just had H1N1 a few weeks ago.
