Robot Gets Swine Flu, Cries About It

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 22 of October , 2009 at 12:09 am

Good news, everyone! Now even robots can get swine flu! This sexy fellow has been designed to exhibit all the symptoms of everyone’s favorite epidemic, including moaning, sweating, convulsing, and crying. And then if you don’t treat him, he stops breathing and dies. And then, I guess, you have to push the reset button. Sounds like some fun training for medical workers… Let’s just hope he’s not contagious, ’cause I haven’t vaccinated my Roomba yet.

My brother got infected with H1N1 or Swine Flu in Mexico. He got a mild fever and luckily he did not die.
