More Than 100 Schools Close as Swine Flu Spreads Across U.S.

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice | April 30, 2009 

More than 100 schools from New York to California have closed down affecting 65,000 students as health and government officials raced to stop the spread of swine flu.

Swine flu continued its spread across the United States Thursday, with at least 109 cases confirmed in more than a dozen states.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization said it plans to no longer call the deadly flu “swine flu” to avoid confusion over the risk from pigs and eating pork. Health officials have stressed repeatedly that the disease is being transmitted human to human and that there is no risk from eating pork.
