Hundreds of schoolchildren were sent home sick this week in Queens, and an assistant principal remains in critical condition. Officials aren't yet sure why the virus is spreading more rapidly than the traditional influenza.

The Centers for Disease Control also confirmed Friday the fifth swine flu related death in the U.S., again in Texas. The CDC has now confirmed that the H1N1 virus has been confirmed in more than 4,700 cases in the U.S.

Texas health officials confirmed that a 33-year-old single father of three from Corpus Christi died earlier this month from the H1N1 virus. One of the children is said to have contracted the virus, but is recovering. The man is said to have had preexisting medical conditions, including heart problems, that made it difficult for him to survive a virus such as this. This marks the third death from swine flu in Texas.

What's particularly interesting is that the assistant principal does not have any preexisting conditions and is in bad shape.

all the people that died most likely had pre existing conditions, there was a guy here in washington that had it and died, but he also had a heart condition that was already screwing him over

Yup, all of the people who have died so far have had underlying issues.

But the last I heard (last night) these isn't much hope that this assistant principal in NY is going to pull through and he has no underlying issues. They're using an experimental treatment on him that was designed for AIDS patients (removing 5% of his blood, hitting it with radiation to disable the virus, and then pumping it back in him).

A man in Missouri died this morning from the swine flu after traveling to Mexico and they're investigating whether a toddler in NY who died last night had the swine flu.
