H1N1 Influenza (swine flu): First signs of decrease


H1N1 Influenza (swine flu): First signs of decrease

Good news! For the first time since the H1N1 Influenza (swine flu) virus first appeared this year,
the number of cases reported to the CDC has dropped significantly.

If you go to the CDC tracking website (http://cdc.gov/flu/weekly/) you will see that the number of cases of illness from H1N1 Influenza (swine flu) virus has
dropped quite a bit in the week ending June 24, 2009.

We do not yet know if this decrease will persist, but as of June 24, this virus is less likely to cause illness in the US.
