The number of cases confirmed of the swine flu have jumped to 68 in the United States. A report states that these cased include a number of hospitalizations but they have not said how many. The cases are still only being seen in five states which include 45 in New York City, 10 in California, six in Texas, two in Kansas and one in Ohio. Already a handful of schools have closed over swine flu fears and some people are wearing masks. No deaths have been reported yet in the United States but over 150 deaths have been reported in Mexico where most cases of the swine flu have been seen. The New York cases were first seen after a group of students got the virus after returning from a vacation in Mexico. There are currently travel warnings for trips to Mexico.

Quote:

We anticipate that there will be confirmed cases in more states as we go through the coming days," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said on NBC's "Today" show Tuesday.

Some of the symptoms for the swine flu are fever, severe headache, a bad cough, chills. If you have swine flu you would feel very very sick, so sick as to question wether or not you can even get out of bed.

Yeah it is scary. It makes me not want to leave my house. From the sounds of it, it sounds so horrible like you are really really sick when you have it. I wish it would just stop spreading.
