Obama declares swine flu a national emergency
Declaration gives federal official more leeway in battling outbreak
By Andrea Coombes, MarketWatch
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- President Barack Obama declared the H1N1 flu outbreak a national emergency, giving officials the ability to bypass some federal requirements for battling emergencies, the White House said Saturday.
The proclamation is similar to declaring a hurricane an emergency before it makes landfall, according to officials.
More than 1,000 people have died in the U.S. from swine flu, including almost 100 children, and the flu is widespread in 46 states.
See the Centers for Disease Control Web page on swine flu.
