Swine Flu May Have Reached Houston

From (excellent, well-informed) Houston Chronicle science blogger Eric Berger:

"There are rumors circulating in the Texas Medical Center this morning of a few suspected cases of swine flu in Harris County. Houston Health and Human Services spokeswoman Kathy Barton said, 'We are in active surveillance mode. We have cases we are interested in, but we are only going to talk about confirmed cases.' Confirmation may come later today."
