This is a quick update for those of you interested in swine flu. The Health Ministry is providing daily updates on the disease. Thursday’s news: Argentina has nine possible swine flu cases being tested for confirmation. That’s up from four on Wednesday. So far Argentina has had zero confirmed cases.
