FML Tomorrow's College Graduation Ceremony

[depast]

I just learned that my college graduation tomorrow might be cancelled due to Swine Flu threats. According to a statement released thismorning by our Chancellor, "The CDC's Swine Flu threat level for our area is now at 5, with 6 being the maximum."

To make a long story short, if it reaches 6 by 8pm tonight, tomorrow's ceremony is cancelled. Something about the Flu's ability to spread through largenumbers of people. (600 grads x 8 family members per = 4,800)

This sucks.

Nah, if it's cancelled then our diplomas will just be mailed at a later date. They said rescheduling is "out of thequestion."

I got family coming down too, I've already called and told them the bad news.

Definitely fear mongering.

"[Swine flu] may not even do as much damage as the run-of-the-mill flu outbreaks that occur each winter without much fanfare."
