Swine flu cases in Westchester expected
-
- April

There are three probable cases of swine flu in Westchester County and health officials say more are expected as the fast-spreading virus moves outside New York City.
“It’s almost certain we’ll have cases in Westchester. It’s possible we’ll have large numbers of cases and we might have deaths,” county Health Commissioner Dr. Joshua Lipsman said at a news conference today.
County Executive Andy Spano, also at the event, said health and emergency officials are closely monitoring the virus and ready to aggressively respond if needed. But no one should panic, he said.
“Remaining calm is the best thing you can do at this point,” Spano said.
The county health officials have been tracking emergency room visits. They have also been sharing the most current information with schools, local governments and medical providers.
“We know what we would do if anything escalates,” Spano said.

This irresponsible “reporting” needs to stop. Here are some facts from the CDC
2000 in NYC alone died last year from flu. How many were heard about? None
36,000 in the whole country died last year. How many of those cases were reported? None.
who is surprised about that with all the Mexicans here illegally. Round ‘em up…ship ‘em out. They can take the bed bugs they brought here back with them too.
Third world illegals are bringing disease into the U.S.A. !!!
It was our wonderful entitled children that went to Cancun on spring break that brought the flu to the U.S. Get your facts straight!
