H1N1 virus is preventable

By Staff Editorial     8/27/09 7:00pm

Hurricane Ike ravaged Rice's campus last September, cancelling and disrupting our livelihoods. This year, the weather has remained calm, but another storm seems to be brewing: H1N1. As such, we are prodding each of you to get a flu shot this year (see "Online only: Health services advises for flu shot," ricethresher.org). The process is simple, cheap and quick, and while the virus may not uproot any trees, there's no promise it won't cause more harm than Ike.
