U Of M Expects More And More H1N1 Cases
The University of Minnesota hosted a panel Thursday morning on the global impact of the H1N1 virus, or swine flu. As WCCO news reported, however, it was not just an academic discussion. The U was part of the story.
University officials say that about 50 to 60 students had H1N1 as of Sept. 10.
"I think that it's going to take off here. I think that we're going to see many more cases. This is just the very, very beginning of it," said University of Minnesota Dean of the School of Public Health John Finnegan.
Meanwhile, Michael Osterholm, director of the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, stated during the panel discussion that "college campuses will continue to be the primary seeding location for much of the rest of the country."
