Swine Flu Pandemic Ends; No La Crosse County DeathsTuesday, 10 August 2010 11:48 | Written by Brad Williams |
One year ago, swine flu was a major health concern in Wisconsin, and around the world...
But now, the pandemic has run its course, according to the World Health Organization. Many government agencies in the U-S stopped keeping count of H-1-N-1 cases, according to La Crosse County health director Doug Mormann, so there's no good estimate on how many people in the county got the illness. Health workers believe the general flu vaccine offered this fall will provide protection against H-1-N-1 as well as the seasonal virus. |

Greg Davids could be home from the hospital within a week, after having heart bypass surgery yesterday in Rochester.
The Republican lawmaker from Preston had a quadruple bypass following a doctor's exam on Monday, according to legislative assistant Kitty Musty. She says Davids did NOT have a heart attack, and no heart damage was found by doctors. Davids may have to spend about five days in the hospital. He's running for re-election to the House this year, but was NOT on the primary ballot yesterday. 14 Year Old Car Thief Arrested in La CrosseTuesday, 10 August 2010 08:40 | Written by Mitch Reynolds |
A fourteen year-old has been arrested for stealing a car after a slow-speed chase in La Crosse. Cops say they followed the fourteen year-old and his two buddies in the stolen Chrysler 300 for just a few blocks on the southside yesterday before the kid pulled over. They say he'd apparently stolen the car over the week-end and was out for a joy ride with his friends, just squealing tires on the car with the vet's plate and an NRA sticker on the back. Police say the chase never went over forty. The boy will be referred on juvenile charges only.
