Swine flu is still going quite strong which is unusual for the summer.
Come fall, when students go back to school, and people spend more time indoors you're going to see a resurgence of the swine flu.
On the positive side, most people are reporting this as just the flu.
Hopefully that's all it will be is just another flu.
Interestingly, numerous doctors and scientists suspect that the swine flu virus was cultured in a laboratory. A mainstream Australian virologist, Adrian Gibbs – who was one of the first to analyze the genetic properties of the 2009 swine flu – believes that scientists accidentally created the H1N1 virus while producing vaccines. And Dr. John Carlo, Dallas Co. Medical Director, “This strain of swine influenza that’s been cultured in a laboratory is something that’s not been seen anywhere actually in the United States and the world, so this is actually a new strain of influenza that’s been identified.”(4) Because of this, the 2009 swine flu virus – which has yet to be detected in any animals – has a rather suspicious pedigree.

I think the NE quadrant of the US will be badly affected by the new flu. NYC could be a big problem, the Bronx, New Jersey, etc.
The American southwest will probably not be ruint, but the NE US will be placed in jeopardy.
