Go Cougs!

I am a CWU Wildcat...it should be interesting to see how this "pandemic" affects the campus. Maybe we can use those death panels (LIAR) & get rid of the people who get sick...just sayin'....

I completely support the use of "hamdemic".

2 possible cases out of 40,000+ students.

Let the panic begin.

@3>> All in favour if using the term hamdemic say "Aye".

A lot of people who went to Dragon*Con in Atlanta got it, too. I think it's geek-carried.

Geeks never wash their hands after anything.

@4: WSU has approximately 25,000 students between all of their campuses-- if 2600 are sick within the first two weeks of classes, that's 10% of the student body. If those numbers transfer to UW (which doesn't start classes until Sept 30), that means that out of UW's 43,000 students, by October 15, UW could have 4300+ students infected. Combine that with some of the dorm living situations (rooms meant for one student now housing three), and it could get pretty messy pretty fast. It doesn't help that some kids pride themselves on always going to class regardless of their physical state, or that college kids, despite technically being adults, sometimes don't have the firmest grasp on personal hygiene at the best of times.

I think ours are in the sororities due to all the attendance at the Young Democrats Conference.

In related news, there's an alert that we're concerned over pregnant women being tested for H1N1 on the main UW page.
