Swine flu still a killer

From the Daily News:

The number of swine flu deaths in the city climbed to 32, it was reported [Tuesday], as German scientists warned that the virus may be mutating into a more aggressive form.

The city's Health Department announced two more fatalities from the H1N1 virus, identifying the latest victims only as persons between the ages 25 and 65.

But the spread of the disease is declining, the department said, with fewer people coming to emergency rooms with flu-like symptoms.

And the tally of infected New Yorkers is expected to be in the ballpark of 500,000.
