WASHINGTON -- Senate Sergeant at Arms Terry Gainer, the top administrative official for the chamber, says that six teenage Senate pages have "turned up with flu-like symptoms," though there is no hard evidence yet that the pages have contracted the H1N1 virus.
Gainer described the symptoms as "mild," including a runny nose and a sore throat. He indicated that there was "no panic" in the Senate.
At this stage, doctors do not test to determine whether it is the H1N1 flu, Gainer said, adding that's consistent with national policy.
Four of the pages are roommates and have been restricted to their dorm room on Capitol Hill. The other two reside in metropolitan Washington and are commuters. Those pages have been advised to stay home.

GIVE THEM OBAMACARE!!!!
First quarantine Barney.
Hey! This could be a great excuse to recess early. Just as nineteenth-century congresscritters fled D.C. during the summer yellow-fever & malaria season.
Did they get to close to Nancy Pelosi or Barney Frank?? Cause I feel sick to my stomach just seeing them on TV..I can’t imagine seeing them in person.....
I narrowly escaped death last week. I had a runny nose, sore throat, and a cough. It’s happened to me on and off again for as many years as I can remember. lol
In the interest of the health of the Senators, I move that the Senate adjourn and reconvene on September 1, 2012.
Oh, I call B.S.!!
You know they’ve been tested for swine flu already, because we can’t have such an inferior disease strike down superior citizens who have THE best healthcare in the WORLD!!!
>:-[
Hate to admit it, but for a moment I though:
MAYBE an epidemic would shut down DC for a bit?
Oh I know. So did I, feel real guilty about that though. Only because I don’t want those kids to be sick. If the whole US senate came down with swine flu and spared their own families, I don’t think it would bother me for a minute.
Well, it is spread by Rats.
Swine flu hits congress???
i wonder if they were anywhere near Barney Frank’s office.
Did they use protection?
We warned Congress to cut out all that pork...
It only makes sense, since they’re surrounded by so many swines there in D.C.
“Bawney Fwank pwease call your orifice!”
