Swine flu: legal and policy framework | Homeland Security Watch: "There have been 40 confirmed diagnoses of H1N1 virus in the United States. The CDC is updating this number and providing additional information at: http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/index.htm (The CDC has indicated an official update will be forthcoming at 1:00 pm eastern. Numbers will increase and various numbers will be reported. For consistency I will stick with the CDC official count as shown on their webpage.)
The Acting Secretary of Health and Human Services has taken statutory action as follows:
As a consequence of confirmed cases of Swine Influenza A (swH1N1) in California, Texas, Kansas, and New York, on this date and after consultation with public health officials as necessary, I, Charles E. Johnson, Acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, pursuant to the authority vested in me under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. § 247d, do hereby determine that a public health emergency exists nationwide involving Swine Influenza A that affects or has significant potential to affect national security. (April 26,2009)"
