We reported on Tuesday about swine flu's appearance in NJ. Well, according to the Inquirer, Philadelphia is sending a sample to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for further testing. The 2-year-old subject of the inquiry has apparently recovered, but no one knows yet whether or not the family had been to Mexico, or even whether or not anyone else may have contracted the illness. Doctors are hoping the child had a case of seasonal, not-named-after-an-animal influenza, but only the CDC's tests can confirm that.

The Courier-Post reported this morning that New Jersey has seen five "probable" cases of swine flu. We first mentioned swine flu in yesterday's Whiz, wherein we cited that President Obama met a man at the start of his Mexico trip who later died of swine flu.
