You're not exactly becoming ill from drinking the Blood of Christ. You're (potentially) becoming ill from drinking from a chalice that someone with swine flu (or a cold or whatever) has just drunk from. Viruses don't care about transubstantiation.
ETA: Just had a weird image of a priest handing out Communion and attended by two altar servers - one holding a paten, and the other holding hand sanitizer...
