I have lots of coughing students.
We all got an email from the administration:
I don't know what H1N1 is exactly, if I mean it is worse than your normal flu. But it surely seems to be hitting more people at once. I have never received an email of this kind before...not in 30 years; of course 30 years ago there was no email.
Meanwhile on the soccer front, the soccer team had to cancel practice yesterday because 10 people on the team were going to a Dance Concert downtown required for Carol's classes. Carol has two lecture classes in Dance with a total of around 700 students with no TAs to help her out and no secretarial support.
Below students in Carol's classes do a "Victory Dance" (African in origin) after one of them scored a goal in a recent soccer contest.
We all got an email from the administration:
We have received reports that Student Health is getting inundated with students who are ill with the flu in search of written excuses for missing class. Please remind all faculty, lecturers, and instructors in your department that Student Health does not have enough staff to provide any written excuses for ill students; all faculty and instructors have been asked to not require a written medical excuse until further notice.
Thank you for your immediate assistance with this situation.
