The first Swine Flu death occured on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 to a 23 month old boy in Houston, Texas.
The child had recently been in Mexico before coming down with the illness. No word if his parents have any symptoms.
So far the Swine Flu, also known as H1 N1 has shown up in six states and 64 confirmed cases in the United States. The most are in New York, followed by California and Texas.
To avoid contracting the swine flu, use common sense. Wash your hands, avoid air travel, avoid crowded places, and use good hygiene.
UPDATE: The child was from Mexico and flew into Harlingen, Texas with his family. He was then moved to Houston for treatment. Apparently the boy had some other health issues that may have contributed to his death.
