At this morning's press briefing, a reporter asked acting department spokesman Robert Wood the following:

QUESTION: This is slightly odd, but the Secretary, in her two appearances this morning, appeared to be a little ill. Is she suffering from a cold or something? And I ask only because of the whole swine flu thing and the fact that she was in Mexico in March and the fact that a member of the – one member of the President’s delegation did come down with it.

MR. WOOD: Matt, you’ll be happy to know it’s just mild allergies. She suffers from mild allergies. That’s all it is.

I was worried when I saw how sick she was. I remember her having problems last spring also, but I would not call her allergies mild. She sounded pretty sick.

I saw her on CSPAN - a speech on Friday. She sounded all congested. But she's out today. Hope she stays out long enough to kick this and doesn't come back too early.

Poor baby, I hate to see her sick.
