Swine flu at Ner Israel

Health officials have confirmed five cases of the swine flu at Ner Israel Rabbinical College, the yeshiva in Pikesville, Baltimore Sun reporter Stephanie Desmon writes in Friday's newspaper. None were serious or required hospitalization, officials said.

They bring to 83 the number of confirmed cases of what scientists are calling the H1N1 virus in Maryland since the outbreak began. Officials say everyone is recovering. Nationwide, officials have confirmed 11,000 cases and 17 deaths, though authorities believe the actual number of those sickened is much higher.
