Milwaukee truckers shorthanded as many are stricken with illness

Thousands of Milwaukee residents have been suffering from flu-like symptoms due to a virus that has infected the city's water supply. During the past several days, a large portion of the citizenry have not reported for work which forced various offices and businesses to work with a skeleton staff. The situation had also affected truck and shipping operations in the Milwaukee area, which showed a low number of drivers reporting for work and a growing number of appointment cancellation.
