Idols Checked For Swine

aidoldc.jpg

David Cook and David Archuleta were politely asked by Philippine health authorities to have themselves checked for swine flu before performing in the Philippines on Saturday.

That's still an issue????

Edgardo Sabitsana, director of the quarantine bureau, had officials go to the boy's hotel and arrange a mandatory health check, one they should have had when they arrived at the airport. Sabitsana reminded them that they could be arrested if they did not cooperate.

So they did.

Part of the briefing after the examination was a reminder to keep a distance of six feet from other people, how to identify flu-like symptoms, and to use hand sanitizers.

Such a warm welcome!

      a lot of countries check people coming from Latin America and the US - taking a picture of the visitor with an infrared camera - the color of the pic indicates if the temperature is OK

      Re: Miley Cyrus…The Princess of All Media – i think someone who admires a bitch like miley cyrus has no rightt to comment on someone with a much better voice than he or her 'singing' idol.
      ADAM AND DAVID cook ARE AMAZING



    12. 12

      theyre just looking out for their citizens, whats wrong with that



    13. 13

      Yeah still an issue! I work in healthcare- and the media backed off of it thank god, but its still considered a pandemic level 5…



    14. 14

      we just had 3 schools closed in queens yesterday in nyc because of h1n1-it is coming back again-it is not over-and the principal of one of the schools is in critical condition

    17. 17

      stfu perez ! its just a precaution !!



    18. 18

      People won't think the Swine Flu isn't a big deal if they catch it. This is still a very serious issue - but the media backed off because people's ignorance was killing the pork industry….



    19. 19

      OF COURSE IT'S STILL AN ISSUE YOU FUCKING IGNORANT FAT IDIOT!!! GO READ SOME NEWS AND UPDATE YOURSELF INSTEAD OF BEING ANOTHER FAT AMERICAN CLICHE

      It's simply a precaution, Perez. Don't you think it would be safer to check first than to risk people's lives? It was the responsible thing to do. No disrespect was meant by that, I am pretty sure. Filipino people are very warm and welcoming people. For you to interpret that act in any other way is pure ignorance. New cases have come up in the U.S., which is very unfortunate. Hopefully, it stops there. Maybe you should report on that rather than twisting this into something it's not.



    24. 24

      David Archuleta is the cutest thing ever!!!!!!! He is so talented. Him singing Como la flor was so amazing. I want a spanish album from him now!!

      The Philippines takes those things seriously. That's why SARS never entered the country despite China being near.



    31. 31

      Yes, you fucking moron - IT IS STILL AN ISSUE. Two people in the U.S. died from swine flu complications just this week and reports of new cases keep growing. Why don't you get the facts before you post?

      A reminder to keep at least six feet away from people?? I've seen the paparazzi videos from the airport. That was definitely not six feet.
      It's kind of strange to ask that of someone who is constantly being swarmed by people, ya know? They're not always going to be able to control that distance.
