WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A government official confirmed the first U.S. death from the new H1N1 swine flu on Wednesday, a 23-month-old child who died in Texas. It is the first death from swine flu reported outside Mexico, the country hardest hit by the influenza outbreak. The official gave no other details on the case. U.S. officials have confirmed 65 cases of swine flu, most of them mild. (Reporting by Maggie Fox; Editing by Doina Chiacu)

Thanks for posting this update. I thought I heard this on the news, but my son was yelling so I couldn't really pay attention to the news... This really scares me because of my son (17 months). I am not going to take him to any populated places like Wal Mart or the mall. I also suggest people stop eating out. You don't know who is making your food or what they might be carrying. Good luck everyone!
