Yes, it’s happening. Companies are capitalizing on ‘Swine Flu’, the potentially pandemic disease that is currently freaking out a lot of people, including me. If we’re stressing out, is it also the right time to make a quick buck? Perhaps. I guess it’s still opportunistic, but instead of selling Swine Flu T-shirts, some of promotions currently being offered by companies are actually potentially useful. Some of the ones I’ve read about are:
Phonevite — allows organizations to use its mass communication tools free of charge to broadcast emergency messages. ZocDoc — online booking site for doctors’ appointments, which has set up a dedicated hub for Swine Flu checkups being offered by doctors in the New York area.

If you’ve seen any others - please reply.
