Swine Flu and Bones: Scare Turns Out To Be False Alarm

It appeared that Fox series Bones was going to be shut down after star “David Boreanaz came down with a flu that was first believed to be of the swine variety, Access Hollywood has confirmed”, according to an article.

Creator Hart Hanson tweeted that they suspected swine flu, then retracted the diagnosis, as it was shown the star did not have swine flu. Good thing; it would have shut down production for at least a week or two.

It just shows how deeply this illness has affected the public consciousness, and how scared people are of the flu strain. It’s now reported that Boreanaz will return to the set tomorrow, and shooting will go on as normal. Fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as episode schedules will not be affected.
