US closes 100 schools as swine flu spreads
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10569587

WASHINGTON - The swine flu outbreak began taking a toll on the US overnight, spreading to 11 states and closing schools amid confirmation of the first US death - a Mexican toddler who was visiting Texas with his family.

In California, dozens of Marines were confined after one came down with the disease.

Some 100 schools were closed, and more might need to be shut down temporarily, President Barack Obama said, declaring, "This obviously is a serious situation."

The total confirmed cases in the US rose to nearly 100, with many more suspected.
