60 Cornell Students Infected With H1N1

A friend reports that he was told at a meeting yesterday that 60 Cornell students have contracted the swine flu since the start of the semester.

I would assume that most colleges in the country have begun to see cases of H1N1 circulate. Emory enjoys the luxury of having a vacant dorm which they can use to isolate infected students. Kansas undergraduates seem to be cooperating with instructions to stay in their rooms. Both of these schools have set up a meal delivery service so sick students do not need to leave their rooms.

A meal delivery service at Cornell would not be such a bad idea. With only two large dining halls on north campus, a handful of sick freshmen can turn into a lot of sick freshmen very quickly.
