Swine Flu Reported in Texas

Richard Longoria

DALLAS (AP) - Health officials in Dallas County say any patient
with any upper respiratory ailments should be tested for swine flu.
     
There have been no confirmed cases of the new strain in the
county, but two Texans are among the seven known U.S. cases and a
10-year-old boy from San Diego visited Dallas before his diagnosis.
     
Doctors said Friday that even people with problems from seasonal
allergies should be tested. Health Department spokeswoman
Jacqueline Bell says frequent travel between Dallas and San Antonio
is the main concern. The two cases in Texas were from Guadalupe
County, near San Antonio.
     
All seven victims recovered from the flu that combines pig, bird
and human viruses in a way that researchers have not seen before,
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday.

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
