Sorry DOH Has Been Harsh on You, David =(
Davids Cook and Archuleta Are Swine Flu-Free
Has the swine flu struck American Idol?
Well, we hope not, but the Philippines wants to be sure. The country’s health bosses are giving David Cook and David Archuleta a rigorous checkup to be certain they haven’t got it before they play a concert in a large mall on Saturday.
Quarantine officials came knocking on their hotel room doors shortly after they arrived, according to Agence France-Presse. Edgardo Sabitsana, director of the quarantine bureau, told them they could be held, arrested or detained and their concert could be banned if they did not cooperate.
Sabitsana claims it took the former rivals nearly three hours to accede, during which time they were on the phone with their attorneys. But in the end, the Davids agreed to the checkup. Their managers vowed to watch for symptoms, including taking their temperature at least twice per day.
Despite the seemingly harsh measures, the Philippines has yet to confirm a single case of the H1N1 virus, according to Health Secretary Francisco Duque.
At least their show will go on as scheduled, unlike the postponed Jonas Brothers gig and the Mexican premieres of Wolverine, Star Trek, Angels & Demons and Terminator: Salvation.
Google alerts are an amazing thing, lol.
