Agence France-Presse writes

Costa Rican President Oscar Arias is suffering from the H1N1 virus, the government said on Tuesday, making him the first head of state known to have contracted swine flu.

A Nobel Peace Prize winner Mr. Arias, 68, felt unwell over the weekend and asked to be tested for the virus.

“As a result of that test, he was informed that he had contracted the H1N1 influenza virus,” said Rodrigo Arias, the government’s chief of staff and the President’s brother.

Mr. Arias, who another government official said suffers from asthma, is at home and will rest until Monday.

The Raw Story » Gay sex can lead to swine flu, Malaysian media says

Malaysia's state-run news agency is urging its readers to avoid homosexual sex and masturbation if they want to remain free of swine flu.

An article published Sunday by Bernama, the Malaysian government news agency, singles out homosexual sex as an activity that can cause people to contract swine flu, while also emphasizing that "normal sexual union between members of the opposite sex was absolutely safe."

Quoting a Dr. V. M. Palaniappan, the article states that homosexual sex "caused the body to develop friction heat which in turn, produced acid and made the body hyperacidised."
