Swine Flu?

How does one respond to this:

Microbiologist XX walks up to elevator bay and encounters another person waiting for the elevators. We acknowledge each others presence, but no words are exchanged. Flash to thirty seconds later when this same person looks at me and says:

"Swine Flu?" Using a very Lurch from the Adam's Family voice.

I stare for a second and say, "uhhhhhh, what?"

"Swine Flu?" s/he offers again.

"Not to my knowledge." I reply.

Then the elevator arrives.
