On a lazy summer day outside the Memorial Union, UW senior Travis Dewolfe remembers last spring’s uncertainty on campus over the H1N1 swine flu virus.
“They were telling us to wash our hands more,” said Dewolfe.
Of the campus’s other precautions at the time, he added, “I think the things they added to campus fueled more worry than there should have been.”
At the time, buildings were bombarded with signs. Hand-washing stations were set-up. Many of those are still around now.
