Okay, so now apparently Swine Flu has hit my university! Only we now call it Mexican Flu :rolleyes2
Well, we had to do open questionnaires today as to who has been missing classes and maybe has had the flu. Well, what turned out was that approximately 2-3 people in every course have had it (or maybe are still spreading it). The thing is, because we have 85% attendance, meaning we can usually only miss one group meeting, a lot of sick people have been to class, probably spreading disease further. To thanks to University Maastricht for the great rules that even if we're really sick (even as far as being in the hospital), we still have the 85% attendance, or we fail the course. This policy is perfect to spread a virus around!
