Information about the latest outbreaks of the swine flu is everywhere. It is amazing how much information being generated and the speed of distributing it around the world. We are getting phone calls from worried family members and friends from around the world, and most of them refer to sources found on the web, or local TV- or radio news channels.
The quality of information is difficult, and there is a fair amount of speculation. Numbers are thrown around and most of the time just interpreted to sell headlines. We tries to check government sources like DHS.gov, CDC.gov and HHS.gov, to get a more objective view.
What has been reported so far in the US is; California 7 cases, Kansas 2 cases, New York City 8 cases, Ohio 1 case and Texas 2 cases. TOTAL COUNT 20 cases.
