Flu Update

Swine flu death toll in United States hit fifteen today, with at least 12,000 confirmed cases worldwide. The flu continues to spread, even as summer approaches. Will it continue through the summer months, and then explode in the fall? The panic in our Emergency Department, at least, seems to have subsided for the time anyway. Now we only have ten or so people a day who think they may be infected with the virus, down from probably fifty.
