RSSBiden upsets airlines over flu advice
Carolyn Hileman - The Voice | April 30, 2009
WASHINGTON – Joe Biden said Thursday he advised his family to stay off airplanes and subways because of the new swine flu, a remark that forced the vice president’s office to backtrack and prompted one airline official to complain about “fear-mongering.”
“I would tell members of my family – and I have – that I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places now,” Biden said on NBC’s “Today” show.
Biden, who has a reputation for off-the-cuff remarks, went beyond any precautions recommended by the federal government. In discussing his personal advice to his family, he said simply, “That’s me.”
