Realize that due to patient confidentiality requirements, this information will be made public primarily by gov or families. Healthprofessionals -do not be tempted to report cases and break confidentiality. We should obtain this information from public sources only therefore I won't add any cases unless a source link is attached. - still working out the child mentioned above. The list will not track discharges if it becomes an overwhelming task..

Considering the high amount of calls going to the CDC, confirmation will take longer than usual.The hospital has received "many hundreds" of patients with flu-like symptoms in the past few days, according to the statement.

WA (2??) -
5/2/22:24 entry WATCH these as they seem suspect. SEATTLE (AP) - Six schools in Washington have closed as a precaution against the spread of swine flu. The latest was Lakes High School in Lakewood this morning because three students were taken to Madigan Army Medical Center last night with flu symptoms. Two are in intensive care in serious condition.Three other schools are in Seattle, one in Des Moines and one in Mukilteo. http://www.kpax.com/Global/story.asp?S=1028645

5/2 22:35 entry Seven other schools and a children's camp in Washington have closed as a precaution against the spread of swine flu. Two teens from one of the schools are in intensive care, suspected of contracting H1N1.Two teens are in serious but stable condition at Madigan Army Medical Center. The other teen was released. However,
tests confirmed late Friday afternoon that the two hospitalized students do not have swine flu.
Superintendent Debbie LeBeau said the closure was a precaution. She will decide over the weekend whether Lakes will reopen Monday. "For me it makes sense to close the school for a day to prevent other students and staff from getting what could be the human swine flu," said LeBeau. "
As test results come back this weekend, I will make the decision whether the school will be open on Monday or remain closed." tks contributor Terrafirma
