6,552 Confirmed Swine Flu Cases And 9 Deaths In The USA

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced at the end of the day of 22nd May, 2009, that so far 6,552 humans have been infected with the A(H1N1) influenza virus, also known as swine flu. This new A (H1N2) flu virus originates from pigs and was first identified in April this year. The virus is human transmissible, says the CDC, meaning it spreads from person-to-person, and has sparked a growing outbreak of illness throughout the USA. The CDC stresses that cases of confirmed human infection are occurring all over the world. The CDC believes this novel A(H1N1) influenza virus spreads in the say way that normal human seasonal flu does - through coughs and sneezes of infected people. Although this novel virus does not seem to be as virulent as was initially feared, it may cause more problems because it is new and people may not have immunity against it yet, says the CDC. So far, however, it does not seem to be any more dangerous than normal seasonal human flu. Below is a geographical breakdown of confirmed cases and deaths *Texas - 900 cases, 3 deaths *Illinois - 877 cases *Wisconsin - 766 cases *California - 553 cases *Arizona - 520 cases, 2 deaths *Washington - 494 cases, 1 death *New York - 327 cases, 1 death *Massachusetts - 197 cases *Michigan - 176 cases *Florida - 129 cases *Utah - 122 cases, 1 death *Indiana - 106 cases *Oregon - 101 cases *New Mexico - 97 cases *Delaware - 94 cases *Tennessee - 89 cases *Louisiana - 86 cases *Connecticut - 81 cases *Pennsylvania - 73 cases *Iowa - 71 cases *Alabama - 66 cases, 0 deaths *Colorado - 59 cases *Oklahoma - 50 cases *New Jersey - 47 cases *Maryland - 41 cases *Minnesota - 39 cases *South Carolina - 36 cases *Kansas - 34 cases *Hawaii - 33 cases *Nevada - 32 cases *Nebraska - 29 cases *Georgia - 27 cases *Virginia - 25 cases *Missouri - 24 cases, 1 death *New Hampshire - 23 cases *Kentucky - 22 cases *Idaho - 18 cases *Ohio - 14 cases *Washington, D.C. - 13 cases *North Carolina - 12 cases *Montana - 10 cases *Maine - 9 cases *Rhode Island - 9 cases *Mississippi - 7 cases *North Dakota - 5 cases *South Dakota - 4 cases *Arkansas - 3 cases *Vermont - 2 cases TOTAL - 6,552 cases, 9 deaths Written by Christian Nordqvist Copyright: Medical News Today Not to be reproduced without permission of Medical News Today
