Colorado health officials said Wednesday they were awaiting test results for what they called five suspected cases of swine flu. Thursday morning, they announced 2 cases have been confirmed.
The 2 confirmed cases are in Arapahoe and Douglas counties.
Colorado lawmakers are set to get a briefing from health officials about the illness Thursday afternoon.
Officials say swine flu may be responsible for 150 deaths in Mexico. The number of U.S. cases has surpassed 100 in 12 states.
Health officials said Wednesday a 2-year-old boy from Mexico who died in Houston was the first swine flu death in the U.S.

I'm so glad this whole thing is behind us. What a scare that was. It was terrible, seeing so many people sick or scared of becoming sick. I guess the health insurance companies benefited, which is always good, but for most people it was pretty rough. Let's hope something like this doesn't happen for quite awhile.

Marcia, I put zero trust in some imaginary being. Scientific gained knowledge is the only truth in this world. Aren't you glad now that the republicans didn't totally gut the public health department budget. At least there it still some tiny slice of funding left. Not enough to do restaurant inspections at the necessary levels or track the levels of STDs in our city, but at least they still have some of the knowledgeable folks on the payroll who can help with this crisis.

ARE YOU PEOPLE BLIND???? You people need to read these things better or better yet learn how to read!!! It does not say POSSIBLE it says CONFIRMED CASES IN COLORADO!!!! And It clearly says DOUGLAS and ARAPAHOE counties!!! Plus this flu has killed alot in a short time the normal flu has not kill that many in a single year or even a five year span! PULL YOUR HEADS OUT!!! Plus I'm sure the CDC has done DNA testing to differentiate the swine flu from the normal Flu. But from the ignornt comments posted on here it would seem this thing has plenty of timder to spread it around!!
