Ky. And W. Va. Confirm Second Swine Flu Deaths
Kentucky and West Virginia have both confirmed their second cases of swine-flu-related deaths. A 41 year old Louisville, Kentucky woman who died on September 21st. had no apparent underlying medical conditions, making her death unusual. Although state health officials say there is nothing to indicate the disease is getting worse, flu outbreak prompted school officials in some school districts to cancel classes this past week. According to state health officials, about 500 Kentuckians die each year of seasonal flu which has symptoms similar to the swine flu, which is now widespread in Kentucky.
West Virginia has confirmed the state's second swine flu death. Thirty-seven year old Amy Scott of Huntington, who worked as a home health care nurse for Pro Nursing, died Thursday afternoon.
