Swine Flu Outbreak

If you do not have enough to worry about as the conclusion of the semester approaches, the new reason to panic has nothing to do with Graduation or making the final grade. Cases of the Swine Flu have been reported in growing numbers, causing it to be officially declared as a pandemic.
