The 23-year-old American woman has been quarantined and is being examined at a local hospital but appears to be in stable condition, Seoul's health ministry said.

There goes the media again, depicting English teachers as carriers of swine flu. They just had to point out she was an English teacher instead of just a new resident.
And notice that they called it swine flu instead of the preferred scientific term, H1N1. Clearly they're subtly trying to push the idea of English teachers as fat pigs.
If only she'd been smoking a joint in the bathroom at Icheon International, then the press could have gone orgasmic over this English teacher-bashing trifecta.
Okay, I'm done. ;)
