ATLANTA — Health officials said Friday that 76 U.S. children have died of swine flu, including 19 new reports in the past week — more evidence the virus is unusually dangerous for the young. The regular flu kills between 46 and 88 children a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
CDC officials say 10 more states, a total of 37, now have widespread swine flu. A week ago, reports suggested that cases might be leveling off, but that did not turn out to be an enduring national trend.
