Can H1N1 Teleworkers Bring Down the Internet?

[Sharon Hill]

It seems kind of silly at first thought, but TechNewsWorld just reported that some, including the U.S. federal government are concerned that sending people home to work because they have swine flu, or to prevent their catching swine flu, could crash the Internet.
