OSU Medical Center Employee May Have Swine Flu

The Columbus Health Department confirmed Wednesday night that a second probable case of the virus had been discovered and was under investigation, 10TV's Brittany Westbrook reported.

Also on Wednesday evening, the Ohio State University issued a news release in which it said that a patient had received treatment for probable swine flu at the medical center. The release identified the patient as a medical center employee.

10. 2 cases in our neighboring county.

Our town is just over the boarder and our communities merge. Probably won't be long. We might pull our son out of school next week (he has health issues as it is). We'll see.
