Obama Official Suspected of Contracting Pig Flu

Written by News One on April 30, 2009 3:53 pm

From the Washington Post

An Energy Department employee who was part of the security advance team for President Obama’s recent trip to Mexico is suspected of having contracted the swine flu virus and transmitting it to his family in Anne Arundel County, the White House said today.

The man is on the staff of Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who traveled with Obama to Mexico on April 16. He is believed to have transmitted the highly contagious virus to his wife, son and nephew, press secretary Robert Gibbs said. The woman and young boys appear to be the three Anne Arundel County residents who, official said yesterday, have tested positive as “probable” victims of the virus.

    The WHO keeps saying that halting travel to and from Mexico is too little too late, but I think every measure should be taken at this point. Travelers should be put in quarantine. I am upset that no one had thought to do this BEFORE it got to this point. This is such a reactive approach.

    Today, I talked to one of my co-workers who was visited by another colleague (from a different department). The colleauge just came back from vacation–IN MEXICO. We sanitized our cubicles and everything. It’s ridiculous.
