Dr. Richard E. Besser, the acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Wednesday that there were now 91 confirmed cases in 10 states. More than half of them — 51 — were in New York, with 16 in Texas and 14 in California. There have been five hospitalizations, including that of the Mexican toddler who ultimately died.

seems the toddler who died in texas was mexican.
still scary though, and quite sad.

Ok, I need to chime in on this one, first this is the media pulling the wool over you eyes... again. 100 cases is NOT an outbreak, unless all 100 cases are in a localized area. Swine Flu is nothing new people, they tried pulling the same crap back in the 1970's, the government scared people into paying close to $150 for flu shots that were no different than the $20 I get every year. I diden't think Obama's stimulus package included mass media terror to get the economy going.

Please don't fall for this load of crap if you notice majority of the cases are found in Mexico, which if you ever been there, you woulden't be surprised that the black plague isn't running rampent down there. If your one of the many people scared by this media tatic, then I feel sorry for you.

BTW I'm guessing the next "Outbreak" will be a couple people catching the black plauge, which if you google it, there are still people catching it. Everyone will be scared into buying whatever they're selling.

oh, i thought that the toddler was living in the US. thats why i was confused. if he was in mexico, then thats a different story. i have no confusion of why he died. but i thought the story was of him dying in the US.

i heard he was visiting his relatives in the US from mexico

idk if i'd wait until monday. if you think you're sick, you should go to the walk-in right away. it doesn't hurt to be safe.

I'm 90% sure I have swine flu. It SUCKS! I didn't eat for 14 days or something (stomach flu or swine flu?), and now just as I was getting a bit better, I got worse. Sore throat, congestion, head cold? Yeah I have the symptoms of swine flu, and regular flu, who knows?

IDK, I think there might be advantages to having a tail...I can't think of any, but I'm sure there are some out there
