Consider that 12% of the 18,000-student campus body was infected in the first week of class. Now imagine if it H1N1 mutates into something dangerous, like it did down in Mexico last winter.

How much of our infrastructure, supply chain or healthcare system could withstand a 12% disruption? How many people will be sickened unnecessarily because they “have to be somewhere?”

Times like this, I’m glad I can work from home.
