New flu virtually everywhere in US now, CDC says
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The new strain of H1N1 flu is circulating in 48 states, with six deaths and more than 5,000 confirmed cases, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Monday.
CDC experts have said it is likely more than 100,000 people are really infected with the virus, which appears mild but which is still worrying experts because most patients are young adults, teens and children.
Globally, the virus has been confirmed in 8,829 people in 40 countries, killing 74 -- most in Mexico. The World Health Organization is poised to declare a full pandemic of the new swine flu virus.
