As of this morning, there are 40 confirmed cases in the United States, and the CDC says that their investigation and response is ongoing.

Remember, the only good zombie is a dead zombie.  Now I know you must be asking yourself &#8220;how do you kill something that&#8217;s already dead?&#8221;, but if there&#8217;s anything I&#8217;ve learned from video games and movies, it&#8217;s that head shots work best.  <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps\/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;hl=en&amp;t=p&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=106484775090296685271.0004681a37b713f6b5950&amp;source=embed&amp;ll=35.317366,-100.810547&amp;spn=26.756441,43.945313&amp;z=4&amp;output=embed\"><\/iframe><br \/><small>View <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps\/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;hl=en&amp;t=p&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=106484775090296685271.0004681a37b713f6b5950&amp;source=embed&amp;ll=35.317366,-100.810547&amp;spn=26.756441,43.945313&amp;z=4\" style=\"color:#0000FF;text-align:left\">H1N1 Swine Flu<\/a> in a larger map<\/small><\/p>\n<a class=\"addthis_button\" href=\"http:\/\/addthis.com\/bookmark.php?v=250\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/static\/btn\/v2\/lg-share-en.gif\" width=\"125\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Bookmark and Share\" style=\"border:0\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/250\/addthis_widget.js\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like any respectable pandemic, the Swine Flu &#8211; or Piggy Plague as I like to call it &#8211; has made its way to America.
