Swine Flu cases skyrocket

Posted: Updated:

Cases of a new strain of Swine Flu that spreads from pigs to people has jumped by more than five times.

The case count jumped from 29 a week ago to 158 this week, thanks to a wave of new cases confirmed in Indiana and Ohio.

The flu does not seem to be unusually dangerous. Most or all of the cases appear to have spread from pigs to humans, meaning it's not that contagious.
