Halloween costumes might disguise visitors to Madison for the annual Freakfest party on State Street, but a costume canâ??t mask the flu.
University of Wisconsin-Madison health officials are asking partiers who plan to flock to Freakfest to stay home if they have flu-like symptoms as they try to keep the H1N1 flu virus from spreading.
Dr. Sarah Van Orman, executive director of University Health Services, the health clinic on the UW-Madison campus, said out-of-town visitors with the flu should stay out of town, and in-town flu sufferers who plan to party should think otherwise.
