Idaho reports 800 swine flu cases since Sept. 1
Associated Press
BOISE — State health officials say nearly 800 people have tested positive for the swine flu in the past three months, and about 30 of those cases were reported in the past week.
The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare also reported this week that swine flu has contributed to 15 deaths.
Children under the age of 10 have accounted for more than a quarter of the total number of hospitalizations related to the swine flu in Idaho.
The state agency says this is highly unusual and young children should be immunized to prevent illness.

We are now beginning to see the swine flu begin to mutate. Europe is reporting upwards of 1000 deaths in just the past week, an increase of over 85%. We really need to be prepared. As a business owner I have a plan in place to slow the spread of the virus as best I can. All businesses should have plans in place. This goes for schools as well. I was fortunate and found a website that not only had good solid plans that I could get but also quite a bit of information concerning the swine flu. Check out pandemicsupport.com. They've done an excellent job and I am now using their plan and am glad of it.

your over reacting. Many more people die every year from the
“regular” seasonal flu.

I call BS. People like ccgd13 are just fear mongorers. If you did any research about the flu you'd find some startiling facts not only about the “swine flu” but about the so called vaccine and the stuff they put in it. I sure hope the government is proud of the millions of dollars they wasted on this stuff. If you really want to read something good, check out the CBS news story about the CDC deceiving millions of people including the federal government. When they report deaths, it is never from swine flu alone, always from “complications”. Heres the story, though the last time I shared it I was called a conspiracy nut.
