Amid the rise in global health alerts, American authorities warn that the swine flu outbreak has hit 11 US states and closed schools in eight.

Following WHO's alert that declared a Phase 5 outbreak, US officials have announced that swine flu has sickened nearly 100 in 11 states.

Eight states closed 100 schools on Wednesday and more might need to be shut down temporarily. The schools' closing affected 53,000 students in Texas alone. The schools have been closed to keep crowds from forming, thought to be one way to slow down the spread of the flu.

Mexico, the first country to report swine flu, has already closed schools nationwide until at least May 6.

Yes unfortunately we are being called in, I was currently inactive status and am now back to active due to this. We are at phase 4 one more phase and we get to quarantine. Yippee!
