At least 20 are dead and hundreds are ill in a Swine Flu Outbreak in Mexico.
Officials find links between the Mexican virus and the strain that sickened 8 people in California, Texas.
Swine flu (click for more information on the CDC site) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza. Swine flu does not normally infect humans. However, human infections do occur, usually after exposure to pigs. Symptoms resemble those of the regular flu, including sore throat, coughing and fever.
