Not sure where to post this so I appologize if it is in the wrong place. Some news out of Arizona.

Over the weekend, the state agency asked the state?s doctors, hospitals and urgent cares to send it swab samples of influenza A to be further examined.

The swine flu - which is suspected in thousands of cases worldwide, but confirmed in 98 as of Tuesday - is a strain of influenza A.

Influenza A cases can typically be broken into one of two types by state labs. But the four samples being sent to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by Arizona could not be linked to either of those two types of influenza A.

The Phoenix NBC affiliate, KPNX-TV Channel 12, reported on Tuesday that the Arizona Department of Health had submitted four samples to the CDC for flu testing.

Heard this on the radio this morning.

PHOENIX (AP) _ Federal officials have confirmed that Arizona has recorded its first case of the new swine flu.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta confirmed the case on Wednesday. The Arizona Department of Health Services sent samples from four ill people to the CDC on Monday and Tuesday.

The Arizona case brings the number of confirmed cases across the U.S. to 91 in 10 states.

Until Tuesday, only five states had swine flu cases, but the new CDC tests released Wednesday added Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada and Indiana and Arizona.
 
Re: Arizona sending samples to CDC

I had a feeling the reason for the rapid rise of cases in the world is because it has been here for a while, just not diagnosed, now they know what to look for and they are finding it everywhere...

could this be the second wave and more deadly than the first?
