Not in CO. We’ve had our pandemic. One death, I think. Wow. We have had as many cases as Texas. I knew we had it all over here. But I didn’t realize it was so much worse here than elsewhere.
All over the new-all day
Saturday I ran across this stuck in a corner of the online edition of our local paper...
NAPERVILLE, Ill. (AP) — Suburban Chicago officials say a 14-year-old girl whose death has been linked to swine flu also had an undiagnosed heart condition.
Michelle Fahle, a Naperville North High School student, died Thursday.
The DuPage County coroner's office said Saturday that she had both the virus and a serious heart condition that 'strongly contributed' to her death.
The coroner's office says Fahle had a progressive defect in her heart that made her health vulnerable before she contracted the H1N1 virus.
Officials say more testing is necessary before a final cause of death is issued.
Fahle's death would bring the state's total swine flu deaths to 20. Since April, three swine flu deaths in the state have been in children younger than 19.
