Two cases of influenza A (H1N2) variant virus infection have been laboratory-confirmed in persons who had pig exposure at the California Mid-State Fair, which occurred in Paso Robles, CA during July 17–29.

California’s emergency departments are becoming more crowded — a trend experts say indicates larger problems in the health system.
