Swine Flu Infects Catholic School
The strain of swine flu believed to have killed 86 people in Mexico has infected at least eight students at a large Roman Catholic high school in Queens, New York.
About a dozen students of St. Francis Preparatory School brought the virus from Cancun where they had gone for Spring Break. Their cases are considered to be mild. The Acting Director for the Center for Disease Control, Dr. Richard Besser, says the outbreak may be here to stay.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg gave a statement Sunday stating that many New York victims are recovering, but that the family members of the infected have been showing signs of the flu symptoms, suggesting that it may be spreading from person to person.
