TV Query: Does 'Bones'' David Boreanaz have swine flu?
Question: Has FOX's "Bones" shut down production because an outbreak of swine flu has swept through the set and star David Boreanaz is now sick with the virus?Answer: No... not exactly.
Has "Bones" shut down production? Yes. Has work ceased because Boreanaz and much of the "Bones" crew has come down with the flu? Indeed.
But there is no indication that Boreanaz's sickness is swine flu.
How did the rumor get started? Well, this past Thursday, "Bones" creator Hart Hanson tweeted that the swine flu was cutting through the show's crew like a scythe and writer/producer Stephen Nathan published a message on the subject as well.
Was the whole thing a joke?
No. According to Hanson's twitter feed, production has indeed been shut down because of a swine flu outbreak, but there is no indication that Boreanaz himself has anything but the standard flu. Hanson says they expect him back on set tomorrow.
Whether or not Hart's expected time line for Boreanaz's healthy recovery is accurate, we of course don't know just yet.
But, rest assured, there's no indication that the former "Angel" has H1N1 at this time.
If we hear more from FOX on the subject, we'll be sure to let you know though.
Cool?

Stop posting idiotic speculation you airhead. How did you get your job anyway?
You need to check your information -- 99% of all influenza cases in the U.S. right now are H1N1 (Swine) flu. I know because I have it.
H1N1 is currently no more dangerous than seasonal flu. I'm one of those people who has an "underlying health concern," and, although I've seen my doctor twice in the past few days, I've had no need to be hospitalized.
You are spreading misinformation and potential panic by making statements like Boreanaz has "anything but the standard flu." Why would it be so horrible for him to have H1N1? "Standard" flu is just as dangerous.
He has to be careful with a young child at home.
Any word yet regarding David Boreanaz being back to work yet? Any kind of flu can be serious, so I hope David and the crew that were affected recover quickly.
oh my god !
i just cant believe it why?him?
i really love u so much >hope u get better sooon
Glad to read that David was back at work today. He was joking that he didn't have the swine flu but the "Hollywood flu."
