Times Wire Reports
A swine flu outbreak at Washington State University that is suspected of sickening at least 2,200 students may be tapering off, a campus health official said.
Dr. Dennis Garcia said 40 to 50 students a day have reported flu symptoms this weekend. That’s down from roughly 150 a day last week.
Garcia noted that many students had gone home for the Labor Day weekend, but there are still signs the outbreak may have peaked.
