U.S. swine flu cases hit all 50 states

Cases of the new H1N1 flu virus have now been found in all 50 U.S. states and tests have confirmed the virus in more than 10,000 people across the nation, U.S. officials said on Monday.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said the confirmed tests represent about one in 20 of the actual number of infections, which would bring the total number of U.S. cases to around 200,000.

Seventeen deaths in the United States have been definitively linked to the swine flu virus, the CDC said.

The virus, which spreads easily and causes mostly mild disease, has been diagnosed in 17,564 people in 64 countries, killing 115, according to the World Health Organization.

It was newly found this week in patients in Bulgaria, Vietnam and Jamaica.

Wow this is spreading quite rapidly imo ... 10,000 cases confirmed. It's kind of scary imo ... I still go out and what not, not going to let the fear mongering get to me.

What are your thoughts?

Valerio-

Thank you for the link and for your info!

I'm going to share it with others: and it's obvious that this is not a surprise to anyone but the general population.

Thank you again, and be well!

EDIT to add- extremly prescient article considering it's the PAC Fleet- and cases in the Pacific Rim are rising drastically.
