Flu-like Illnesses Now Higher Than At Peak Of Seasonal Flu Season

Federal officials report 8,200 hospitalizations for infections from the H1N1 virus, and 411 deaths. But they backed away from earlier reports of 1 in 5 kids being infected. Influenza-like illnesses are now higher throughout the country than levels generally seen at the peak of the seasonal flu season, federal health officials said Friday, even as they dismissed media reports from a day earlier that one in five children had contracted swine flu during the first weeks of October.
