The Los Angeles County coroner's office is investigating two recent deaths for links to swine flu.
Coroner's Capt. John Kades says tests are being run on two bodies to see if swine flu was a factor in their deaths, but there is no confirmation that the disease killed them.
The Los Angeles Times reports on its Web site that both men's deaths were reported to the coroner's office on Monday.
Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey told the paper that a Bellflower hospital reported the death of a 33-year-old Long Beach man who was brought in Saturday with symptoms resembling swine flu.
The other death was a 45-year-old La Mirada man who died April 22 at a Norwalk hospital.
The World Heath Organization has now confirmed person-to-person transmission of the swine flu virus in the United States.
The WHO said some students in New York City infected with swine flu had not traveled to Mexico and must have contracted the disease from classmates who had recently returned from a trip to the country.

“no confirmation that the disease killed them.”
Bullet holes might be a clue.

I wonder what role “undocumented” Mexicans are playing in this here in the US.My hunch is....a *huge* role.
To: G8 Diplomat
They already ruled out one of them as being Swine flu.

And yet I heard the exchange between Rudy Guiliani and Neil Cavuto on FNC yesterday where Cavuto basically chastized Rudy for even suggesting illegal immigration might exacerbate the swine flu issue.
Uh, Neil? Rudy said something we who have lived among high concentrations of illegals (i.e., CA) have known for quite some time--they DO in fact bring awesome little bugs with them, like resistant strains of TB, Hepatitus, malaria, Chagas, and even plague and polio. So what's one more bug, right?

I don’t know about California, but I am sitting here in Memphis with a fever, muscle aches, sneezing and coughing, and mentally hazy - perhaps due to the fever.
So far, I have NOT grown a curly tail - or Obama ears!

Hey, don’t criticize Cavuto for being politically correct. After all, his job IS more important than actual facts, ain’t it?
