In follow up to our Sacramento Swine Flu blog post, it now appears that there is a 5th case of swine flu. This involves a doctor who lives in the county but works in the near-by Placer County.

According to the sources, this physician displayed symptoms 10 days ago, and has now recovered.

In the meantime, the local St. Mel boy who contracted swine flu earlier is feeling better, and talked to a TV channel.

“His mother was shocked. “Never would have thought it would have been swine flue. Never would have guessed. We are sterilizing everything. We are walking around with wipes and being really careful with washing our hands.”

Editor note: Although we blog about Cancun, Mexico and currently about swine flu status there, we also bring you swine flu developments in North America.
