Snoutbreak CDC Confirms Nine Swine Flu Cases in Washington
Posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on Tue, May 5, 2009 at 11:24 AM
Just in case there was any doubt, the Center for Disease Control has confirmed nine cases of swine flu in Washington. It's not yet clear how many samples from Washington have been tested by the CDC.
So far, the state health department lab has tested nearly 300 samples of suspected swine flu and found 45 probable cases. The state has been forwarding the suspect viral samples to the CDC in Atlanta for confirmation.
If you're still freaking out about swine flu—in spite of the fact that it appears to be a fairly mild strain—you can keep up with the state health department running case tally here.
