Swine Flu Update
KENTUCKY...
Kentucky has had its share of swine flu cases, but there's relief in the numbers recently released by the CDC. Swine flu infections continue to drop and only one state - Alabama - is now reporting widespread cases. Four states had widespread cases the previous week. The number has been dropping since late October, when nearly all states had widespread flu reports.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also reported there are no signs of seasonal flu right now, only the swine variety. CDC officials noted there is still more flu around than normally seen at this time of year, and illnesses could increase as kids return to school after a weather-related break
