"I Don't Have Swine Flu..."

By Benjamin Carman

Dear Wesleyan Argus,

I would just like to clear the air. While I appreciate the publicity you've given me by posting my photograph in a recent issue of the Argus, I did not, do not, and have never been infected with the H1N1 virus (as the caption implied). I would like to thank Ian Park for the artful portrait he took of me, as well as the vast outpouring of support from the public. I want to reassure you all that I am completely healthy. While I did have a slight case of the flu recently (although not the Swine!), and was briefly self-quarantined, I am all better now.

Thank you for your support, and may God bless your publication.
