Nation & World | Swine flu forces more N.Y. schools to close | Seattle Times Newspaper: "NEW YORK — The swine-flu virus continues spreading in New York City — closing three more schools Friday and showing up in a jail — while the disease also reached further into Asia among travelers returning from the United States.
An assistant school principal in New York, Mitchell Wiener, 55, remained hospitalized in critical condition Saturday, and an inmate who entered the city's jail complex on Rikers Island about a month ago was diagnosed with swine flu.
The city Department of Correction said the flu hadn't spread to other prisoners. The Rikers Island inmate — whose name and reason for being in custody weren't released — was improving since his hospitalization Wednesday, Correction Department spokesman Stephen Morello said."
This is far from over. At least we have the summer to prepare for it.
