Watch Kathleen Sebelius answer questions about swine flu

Here’s the lunchtime conversation we’ve all been waiting for. Former Kansas Gov. and newly minted secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius will answer questions about the regrettably unsexy H1N1 — aka, the titillating swine flu. Wash your dirty hands and click on the webcast of Sebelius — and guest stars Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and the Centers for Disease Control’s acting director, Dr. Richard Besser — below.

And the hysteria continues. Fox 4‘s been stalking the bus station on Southwest Boulevard just for this moment:

A woman, her husband and her two young children were

taken into quarantine and tested after they got off a bus in Kansas

City with H1N1 swine flu symptoms.

The woman was on an El Conejo Bus that stopped at 501 Southwest

Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri before 8 a.m. on Thursday. Witnesses

described her as very ill.

Crews at the scene were wiping the bus down and the woman and her family were taken to the hospital for testing.

Let the panic begin.

Update (1:44 p.m., Thursday, April 30): Fox 4 is now reporting that the woman on the bus didn’t have swine flu. This comes from the Kansas City Health Department and a note from Truman Medical Center, which says no one has tested positive for H1N1 there. Glad to see that the media aren’t whipping anyone into a panic with loaded words and phrases like “quarantine” or “swine flu alert.”
