State's H1N1 Flu Hotline is Ringing Off The Hook

The state's H1N1 influenza hotline is averaging 1,000 calls a day, said Heather Howard, the commissioner of the state Department of Health and Senior Services, during a breakfast with Chamber members today.

She called H1N1, also known as Swine Flu, "mild thus far" but "unpredictable."

She added, "Employers are recognizing that you need to encourage sick people to stay home. It's a cultural change because people value hard work."
