It's highly contagious apparently and you can still spread it for like 3 days after you're done showing symptoms. It was probably more than 400 because not everyone is going to report being sick. I guess it's nice having an extended weekend, but it couldn't have come at a worse time. We can't get any group work done, research, rehearsals, etc. It has thrown everything for a loop and I'm going to be so behind!!

This happened last month at Georgetown too! Are they possibly related?
