The first death from Swine Flu in The United States happened this morning in Houston, Texas. A Mexican toddler who came to the United States with his family on a visit has died in Texas of the swine flu, Texas officials said.
Yesterday the confirmed swine flu cases in America was around 40 or 50, now there are 91 confirmed cases in 10 states. More than half of them, 51, were in New York, with 16 in Texas and 14 in California. There have been five hospitalizations, including that of the Mexican toddler who ultimately died.
Dr. David Persse, Houston’s director of Emergency Medical Services, said the 23-month-old child had traveled with his family from Mexico to Brownsville in south Texas. On April 13, the child was admitted to the hospital and then transferred the next day to a hospital in Houston.
In all, the United Nations global health body, the World Health Organization, has confirmed 135 cases of swine flu in seven countries. More than half of those are in the United States.

Because swine flu is one of the top stories on every news media resource, many people who have normal flus or even colds, are going to the doctor’s office or buying lots of medicines and drugs. What if it is a corporate and government sponsored media sensationalized rumor to try and help the boost the global economy?

I’m pretty well educated on it, but I haven’t heard anything on animals, besides pigs. Is there a risk of domestic animals, like dogs, catching the swine flu? And since there’s some avian influenza bacteria mixed in with swine influenza, are birds at risk as well?

I know someone who thinks the new swine flu virus was released by the government as a way to control the population. What this person means is that there are too many people and the government wants to get rid of a lot of us. I don’t believe it. What do you think of this? Is it totally ridiculous?

My 2 year old has allergy induced asthma and breathing issues. Whenever she gets any kind of cold or flu it’s 3 times worse than it would be for another child. Within a day we have to start throwing every breathing treatment we can at her just to fight back. Worst case, if my child were ever to get the swine flu, would she be in serious trouble? Would she more likely become a serious case?
