STORRS, Connecticut (CNN) — At the University of Connecticut, planning for the H1N1 virus means, to begin with, clearing some serious storage space:

• 15,000 surgical masks for patients who might become infected.
• 28,000 doses of Advil
• 28,000 doses of Tylenol
• 10,000 fever thermometers
• Thousands of bottles of hand sanitizers.

“We have been busy working all summer,” said Mike Kurland, director of student health services at the university. “We are making the necessary preparations and hoping for the best.”

So far, about two weeks into classes, the University of Connecticut considers itself fairly lucky: one confirmed case of H1N1 and two probable cases.
