American health officials on Sunday declared a public health emergency over increasing cases of swine flu, saying that they had confirmed 20 cases of the disease in the United States and expected to see more as investigators track down the path of the outbreak.
We are seeing more cases of swine flu, Dr. Richard Besser, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control, said in a news conference in Washington. We expect to see more cases of swine flu. As we continue to look for cases, I expect were going to find them.
This is moving fast, Dr. Besser said, but we want you to understand that we view this more as a marathon.
