Swine Flu Has Struck 41 Countries, 11,034 Cases, Including 85 Deaths

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the number of swine flu A(H1N1) cases has risen to 11,034, while the total number of deaths has reached 85. All deaths have occurred in four countries: Mexico, USA, Canada and Costa Rica. Authorities in Mexico say that the spread of swine flu has dropped significantly. Health experts say it is still too early to predict which way this outbreak will go.
