ATLANTA (AP) - Health officials say swine flu cases appear to
declining throughout most of the U.S., but the specter of
Thanksgiving gatherings makes it hard to predict what will happen
next.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that
reports of swine flu illnesses were widespread in 43 states last
week, down from 46 the week before.

CDC officials also say reports have been increasing in a few
states, including Maine and Hawaii.

They say it's hard to know whether the epidemic has peaked or not, and many people will be gathering - and spreading germs - next week at Thanksgiving.
