Swine flu broke out of California: CDC:
"The US disease prevention center claims the newly-spread potentially-fatal strain of swine flu virus may have originated from California.
The Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC) said on Saturday that the state preceded Mexico, the alleged source of the virus, in reporting cases of the affliction.
“As we do our investigations here in the US, we may find that there were cases earlier,” CDC spokesman, Scott Bryan was quoted by AFP as saying.
As early as March, patients were diagnosed in California with a new type of viral infection resulting from the A(H1N1) — the new strain of the swine flu virus, H1N1 which is apt to affect humans and pigs and resist antiviral treatment."
