Swine Flu Affecting Blacks and Hispanics

Government so far silent on number of minorities affected by flu bug.

The Center for Disease Control says it will have a racial breakdown by the end of the week. However, early reports issued last month are showing that H1N1 is having a devastating effect on minority population, with more than 33% of all US deaths happening among Hispanics.

For instance, first reports are showing that in Boston, where blacks make up only a quarter of the overall population, 37% of all swine flu cases are Black. Check out the full story here.
