Swine Flu Case Reported in Spokane, Washington

Swine flu has hit Spokane, Washington. The news, according to Washington State health officials, is that a probable case of swine flu has been confirmed in the city of Spokane. The case has been found in a man that  works for the county, and while it is being stated that the case is only a "probable" instance of the swine flu, all types of precautions are now being taken in the city.

Health officials held a press conference at around 9 p.m. on Wednesday night in order to update the press and the public on news surrounding this case, and the prognosis seemed grim from the two presenters. They wouldn't commit to this being an official case of swine flu, but with 6 probably cases being reported in Washington State as of 9:00 p.m. it seems that they don't want to make any wrong steps at this moment. It also seemed like they had a lot of fear in their information, and it could just have been nerves, but they continuously urged reporters to double check their facts before reporting anything.

The worry of course is that people will act badly when confronted with the news that there is a possible outbreak of swine flu in Spokane, and it is always wise for public officials to approach items like these with caution and care. The press conference served to fill in a lot of information about this particular strain of influenza, and update everyone on why the swine flu could be so hard to deal with.

A second press conference is scheduled for 3 p.m. Thursday in Spokane, Washington to further update everyone on the man's condition, and to hopefully return with results from further tests being done on the man who may have swine flu.
