Re: Serious Case in Kansas Described on Twitter

I hope for a good outcome in this case. I apologize if anyone is offended by the religious references--I thought about cutting out the more controversial comment but decided to leave it in since I wanted to keep it as close to the original transcript as possible. The only changes I made were to leave out irrelevant tweets and remove two references to personal names.

Here is the Kansas Health Dept. H1N1 info page---it doesn't list # of hospitalizations. It was last updated July 15th, and there are 174 total cases.
