PANIC! Swine Flu Case Confirmed in Indiana

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Apr 28, 2009 7:00PM

Indiana Health Commissioner Judy Monroe today confirmed the state's first case of swine flu, a "young adult" living in "northern Indiana." The patient is "doing well," according to Monroe. So far, the Illinois Department of Health has tested multiple suspected cases, but none have tested positive yet. Chicago's Public Health Department Chief Medical Officer Dr. Susan Gerber has reported a "deluge" of calls about potential swine flu cases from around the area, though none have proven to be true. Remember, folks, if you're coughing, it's probably...just a cough. Now, where do we line up again, FEMA? [Chicago Breaking News]
