U.S. sees 3 new infections with new flu virus; looks like person-to-person spread

"Testing at the CDC shows the swine H3N2 most closely resembles human H3N2 viruses that circulated in the early 1990s. That means many people over the age of 21 or so likely have some protection against this virus, but people under that age probably would not.

Testing suggests the viruses are susceptible to the flu drugs oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza), Cox said."
