Media Descends on Cornell

The Cornell swine flu outbreak has attracted the attention of local TV stations.

Elmira-based WETM found one student with the swine flu, and managed to spell his name three different ways in the article.

“The gave me an isolation kit which has Kleenex, mask's [sic], thermometer, ibuprofen and a huge thing of Purell”, said Pauly.

WBNG came up from Binghamton to cover the story. It seems like the Cornell Law School has been hit particularly hard.

"I wasn't surprised at all. I go to the Law School and it seems like half the people there are sick already," says Sara Myers of Buffalo.

It doesn't seem like many students have been staying in to avoid contracting the swine flu, and none of my close friends have gotten it yet. This will probably change in a week or two.
