 The World Health experts are sounding the alarm about a deadly new strain of swine influenza¹ that could spread very quickly. Sixty-eight flu deaths reported in Mexico but take note most have not been confirmed as swine flu. More than one thousand people in Mexico may be infected. At least ten cases are confirmed right here in the  United States. And tonight, two new cases have been confirmed in Kansas, also two confirmed cases in Texas close a high school near San Antonio. And State Health Officials in New York say testing  shows eight or nine students at New York City  high school likely have that disease.

 “Every person we’ve identified has mild symptoms and the fact that it is what is called the H1 strain so it may have some similarity with strains to which we’ve already exposed and may have some immunity² too.”

 In Florida, two sheriff’s deputies from Okaloosa County near Pensacola have been shot and killed by a man who was later shot by other deputies. Police say the gunman was wanted in connection with the domestic disturbance³ that happened earlier in the morning.
