Daley Brushes Off Notion of Avoiding Subways Due to Flu

CPR:
The mayor was specifically responding to comments made by Vice-President Joe Biden earlier Thursday. Biden said he was advising his own family to avoid airplanes and subways because of swine flu. Mayor Daley brushed that idea aside.

DALEY: We all have to get to work, I mean we'd be staying out of our cars, out of subways, how about elevators?  No, I mean, no, you have to remember, we have to use some common sense.

Later, Daley said the best thing for people to do is stay alert, especially when it comes to children. Meantime, Vice President Biden's office backed off his earlier comments. It released a statement saying the vice president meant to say people who are sick should avoid airplanes and subways.
