Welcome to

The state is waiting on word from the CDC on 20 potential cases of swine flu.

There are no new cases to report in Florida. The CDC has been bogged down with samples from all over the county. All of the confirmed and potential cases in the state have been mild. Florida’s Surgeon General, Dr. Ana Viamonte Ros said the state is bracing for a long battle with the virus.

“We need to be ready for another wave, we don’t fear anything. We need to be informed and ready and do whatever needs to be done to get ready for something. Yes that’s usually the course. There are waves like you’ve already seen on the national level. The CDC is determining whether or not they will put into production a vaccine. It would not be ready for four to six months but for the next wave so to speak. And we know as much as you all know on the national news about that,” said Viamonte Ros.

Schools in Florida that shut down because of the initial swine flu scare will reopen by the end of the week.
