-Swine Virus: -KU has had an outbreak (quite a large one), KU is not testing each and every student who has the symptoms because the cost too expensive.

-Our Job: (make sure the student body knows all of the below information) Spread word about staying home and away from people if symptoms (fever) come about. Announce preventative steps such as; cough into ones arm not hand, don’t touch one’s face, and wash your hands after touching public high traffic areas.
