Swine Flu – H1N1 & Flu Tracking: October 31, 2009
Maryland health officials confirmed another swine flu death Friday, bringing the state’s tally to 13 deaths associated with the H1N1 virus.
Philadelphia declared a public health emergency yesterday, an administrative action that mainly gives hospital emergency rooms more flexibility in dealing with increasing numbers of swine flu patients, most of whom are not seriously ill. If you have mild flu symptoms – do NOT go to the emergency room!
