The swine flu is here?
Keep using that Purell, because according to an “IMPORTANT FLU UPDATE” from Barnard’s Dean Dorothy Denburg, H1N1 cases have already cropped up across the school.
In fact, shortly after the e-mail was received, Spec overheard some mailroom talk of a potential dorm-room quarantine.
And when logging into eBear—Barnard’s SSOL—students are greeted with a small, benign, popup, reminding them to call the swine flu line.
See below for full e-mail:
