<title><![CDATA[Swine Flu Cases Are Increasing]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[New H1N1 flu numbers are out from the Centers for Disease Control which now estimates near 100,000 Americans have been hospitalized due to the virus and nearly 4,000 have died.The numbers are four times higher than they were just a week ago. The CDC admits estimating flu cases is difficult because not everyone seeks medical attention or gets tested.The new estimates come as Utah health departments are dishing out every dose of the H1N1 vaccine they receive. Thursday, both Salt Lake and Davis Health Departments held mass clinics. The lines were minimal at the Bountiful Regional Center after the department issued tickets earlier in the week. Those tickets disappeared in two hours.&quot;I could use three, four times the amount of vaccine that we are able to get,&quot; said Davis County Health Department Director, Lewis Garrett.Garrett says the way things are running now, he could probably vaccinate 25,000 people per week. He only had 6,000 doses this week. The CDC now thinks 22 million Americans have been infected with H1N1.&quot;That was a higher number than I expected,&quot; said Garrett. &quot;But the hospitalizations and the deaths, that was about right, and would track along with what we&#39;ve seen here in Davis County.&quot;Knowing someone affected by the virus seems to be driving people to the clinics.&quot;What are you going to count to? Let&#39;s count in Spanish.&quot; That was the conversation Caelyn Segni was having with the nurse before taking her medicine. She didn&#39;t shed any tears and said everyone should get vaccinated.Her father, Wes, has seen people sick at work and isn&#39;t worrying about any of the doubts about the vaccine.&quot;So there&#39;s a percentage that might get it and there&#39;s even a smaller percentage that might get hospitalized, but why take a chance,&quot; Segni said.Local health departments continue to order as much vaccine as they are allowed. Lewis thinks they will be holding two to three clinics a week for the foreseeable future.]]></description>
