A woman in her 20s died yesterday at a local hospital of swine flu, the Spokane Regional Health Dsitrict said today.

She is the sixth Spokane County resident to die of the virulent strain of influenza, also called H1N1.

The latest victim had underlying health conditions, health district officials said. The health district doesn’t release identifying information about swine flu victims.

Besides the six Spokane County residents to die, two more people — a baby flown here for treatment from Franklin County and an adult woman visiting Spokane — died here.

With all the Swine Flu going around I still can' believe a lot of businesses and schools don't have a pandemic influenza plan in place. I know business might even get a break on their insurance with a plan. I found a great website that not only has plans for business and schools but also has a lot of good information on the swine flu. Check out www.pandemicsupport.com

What a joke ccgd13, why don't you do some real research about the good ol swine flu before you jump on the bandwagon. Here's a real eye opener about swine flu http://www.examiner.com/x-6495-US-Int… Don't believe everything you are told, it once again is about the almighty dollar and how much money the pharmaceutical companies can drag out of the population. You might want to also check what they are putting into the vaccine before you run out to get shot up with some mercury. Pandemic my arse!
