Quite a few of our fellow angelinos attended the recent PAX conference in Seattle Washington. According to the tweet below they may have come home with more than just swag.
The Swine Flu, which some believe to be nothing more than a regular flu that has been hyped up, is showing up in the media again. With many kids returning school precautions are being taken to keep the virus from spreading, and with the news of an official case of it being reported at the conference I am not taking my chances either.
We are urging anyone in the tech community that is feeling sick and recently attended the conference to get tested. Apparently you can get results as quickly as 10 -45 mins. Symptoms of the virus include: fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. You can get more information about the virus at the CDC’s website as well.
One of the attendees, Mike Prasad Founder of Girl Gamer.com, took immediate action and had his tests done before jetting off again this morning. Thankfully his test came back clean so if you see him around New York this week feel free to invite him for dinner or a nightcap.
With over 60,000 attendees, we know there are more of you running around LA with a possible infection. Here’s a list of LA peeps that we know attended the conference. Consider them quarantined and avoid make-out sessions until further notice.

The possibly infected can post a doctors note in the comments to prove they are bovine free.
