CDC swine flu numbers not so high as expected
Surprisingly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s swine flu tally for all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands does not appear to have changed much since the last time we looked. This week, the CDC changed its normal schedule of updating the figures on Friday in honor of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting yesterday. Yesterday’s figures, which are the final figure for the week, were effective as of 7:00 PM Thursday, June 25 EDT.
The U.S. is reporting 27,717 confirmed or probable swine flu cases with 127 deaths confirmed to be the result of swine flu. Wisconsin continues to lead the states with 4,273 cases reported and 4 deaths. Texas and Utah have 10 deaths apiece, while New York has 35, California 16, and Illinois has 12.
