The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment says there is now 43 confirmed cases of H1N1 flu in Colorado.

Monday, the department is reporting 43 confirmed cases of H1N1 virus in the following counties: Adams (6), Arapahoe (9), Boulder (2), Denver (8), Douglas (2), Eagle (3), Fremont (1), Garfield (4), Jefferson (6), La Plata (1), Morgan (1).

The acting head of the Centers for Disease Control says people can best protect themselves against the swine flu threat by taking precautions they were taught as kids, like frequently washing their hands.

Richard Besser said Monday the best response is to do "the things we learned when we were little," like covering one's mouth when coughing and staying home with a fever.

-Wash your hands frequently.
-Cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze and cough.
-People who are sick should stay home from school or work.

There is not a word that can translate the level of grief, nor the enormity of my rage I'd have if that were my child. Why have a trial. They should turn this punk over to the child's fathers family for a sanctioned execution no camera's allowed
