from the WHO and CDC. Interestingly, the CDC has confirmed the Kootenai County, Idaho swine flu case but is dragging its feet with the two suspected H1N1 patients in Spokane County. Why?

This book is a treasure: The Porcine Canticles. For pig lovers, by a pig lover (I particularly like the poem Racehogs.) And remember to support the pork industry!

UPDATE: Spokane County has one confirmed case (just announced this afternoon now that Bloomsday is over.)
