Re: H1N1 case confirmed in 1 of 2,000 children held at Lackland AFB
Swine flu (H1N1pdm09) was the dominant strain of influenza this year in the United States. There were 10s of thousands of confirmed cases in the US this year (see http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/weekly...oAllregt24.htm ) which implies hundreds of thousands of actual cases . The pandemic strain is now a regular seasonal flu strain.

There's something unusual about this report. A single H1N1 case, even a laboratory confirmed one, even an unexpectedly severe one, shouldn't make a news report like this at this point in time.
So why do we have this report? Are there other children ill? Was something else originally suspected?
The overall lack of detail in this report is also noteworthy.

...
After being held at the detention centers, unaccompanied minors who do not have family members already in the U.S. are transported to one of the emergency shelters, which are managed by the U.S. Health and Human Services? Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).
?This allowed unaccompanied children living in a crowded environment to be vaccinated more quickly than if the ORR contractor had waited for the arrival of federally purchased vaccine,? said Christine Mann, an agency spokeswoman...
