Swine Flu In Michigan

Health officials are suggesting ways to avoid swine flu after a 34-year-old Michigan woman who recently vacationed in Texas is recovering at home with the state's first suspected case. People are urged to cover their mouths when coughing or sneezing, wash their hands frequently and stay home from work and school if they're sick. The woman lives with her husband and their young child in Livingston County. She returned from a trip to Texas and was treated for flu-like symptoms at an urgent care center. The husband and child aren't showing signs of symptoms. The family drove to Texas and back for the two-week vacation. That's good news because more people could have been exposed on a plane or in a bus.
