A group of visitors from Central Michigan State is visiting this campus. An excursion to see Chinese acrobats had been scheduled by the Office of International Affairs. Joe and I were scheduled to attend the performance along with the Michigan guests. Bur when we arrived at the meeting place, there was no sign of the party, and I found myself getting frustrated.
We were able to reach the International Office. They apologized profusely for not informing us that the outing had been cancelled. One of the Michigan visitors turned up with flu-like symptoms. He was whisked to the hospital,and everyone else from that group is quarrantined until officials say whether this is H1N1.
I will leave it to medical people reading this blog to decide if this makes any sense. The Michigan guests have been all over campus, not just interacting with each other. Then again, they probably came to China on the same flight and would be spending lots of time together.
We thought there was something about the problem on the evening news, though neither Joe nor I is really able to understand Chinese broadcasts too well.
