Swine Flu....seriously

So...Gess's boss and his entire family has swine flu. Confirmed case; in quarantine. Seriously??? Gess got the email today. He had a face-to-face meeting with his boss the day before the boss stayed home from work. Gess called the pulmonary fellow on call, and luckily Gess's doc was sitting right there, so Gess got to talk to him. The doctor isn't overly concerned yet. He said that some doctors are misdiagnosing people around here. Of course, if Gess has any flu like symptoms we are to call immediately and they will give him medicine. I just can't believe of all things!
