...hopes to offer the controversial vaccine to “high-risk” patientsthose over 65 or with chronic illnesses late in October, and to the rest of the University community two or three weeks afterwards. In line with federal policy, the clinic will urge all but children to roll up their sleeves for the vaccine...
Luckily, most of what we have seen of this illness has been reassuring. Most people have had relatively short and uneventful courses of illness, usually lasting about 4 to 7 days. New England has had a relatively low incidence of illness compared to the rest of the country—a finding that some are attributing to our higher incidence in the spring possibly inducing some low-level immunity in our community. Older people have been similarly less affected, possibly because of their immunological “memory” of earlier exposures...

The rest of the actors follow suit, with the notable exception of indie veteran Jennifer Coolidge, who plays Benjamin’s bubbly, excitable mother. The unabating deadpan irony, when combined with the ludicrous plot, serve to estrange the characters from us rather than endearing them...
