Illinois to Declare H1N1 "Swine Flu" Public Health Emergency Next Week

I am surprised that Illinois had not previously declared an H1N1 emergency when other States were declaring emergencies back in the April. Illinois is finally catching up with the rest of the paranoid States that have scared their subjects with a hyped up pandemic. The State of Illinois will be declaring a health emergency next week!

Gov. Pat Quinn next week will declare a public health emergency to provide more resources for a public health response to the H1N1 virus.

The declaration will allow the Peoria City/County Health Department and others to respond to the viral threat through federal funding, said Health Department Administrator Greg Chance.
