Where exactly are the SWINE FLU cases in San Diego?

Where exactly are the ';8'; swine flu cases in San Diego? They're are apparently 7 suspected cases, with 3 new cases just reported this morning. Anyone have a clue? North/West/East/South?Where exactly are the SWINE FLU cases in San Diego?
I have no idea. I live in San Diego and I'm more than a little concerned about this disease...Where exactly are the SWINE FLU cases in San Diego?
I'm sure if you contact the CA State Health Deparment they could tell you.





I found this info at the website below:





School officials in Contra Costa County moved fast once they realized early Tuesday they had a group of sick students with symptoms that matched swine flu.





By noon, Highlands Elementary School in Pittsburg had contacted the district superintendent, who sent the students to county health officials for testing. Three of the fourth-graders were found to have probable cases. Officials decided to close the school for a week, activating an e-mail blast and phone tree that notified parents of 645 students of the closure.





County officials also were investigating a cluster of sick students at nearby Marina Vista Elementary School, but there were no immediate plans to cancel classes.





A handful of other schools have taken similar precautions after local officials found that students there tested positive for swine flu.





San Jose's Branham High School will be closed for a week because a 16-year-old girl was suspected of having swine flu, and Mountain View Elementary School in Visalia planned to shutter for three days after two kindergartners fell ill. Earlier this week, two private schools鈥擟hrist the Cornerstone in San Diego and St. Mel School in Fair Oaks鈥攁nnounced similar closures.





Two Southern California universities issued warnings to students and faculty after each found a student with probable cases of the virus.





A student living in a California State University, Long Beach, dormitory came down with symptoms Sunday, prompting local officials to request a stockpile of anti-flu drugs. San Diego State University officials said a female student who lives off campus was receiving treatment.





The Pentagon said Wednesday that a Marine who fell ill at Twentynine Palms had the first confirmed case of swine flu to show up in America's armed forces. The unidentified patient first complained of being sick on Saturday and is doing well.
i'm not sure about the other cases, but there is another probable case in san marcos. this kid goes to my school and it was just shut down for 2 weeks. they're really being very cautious with this and want to make sure none of the others students were exposed to it. there are 3 high schools closed down in north county so far. just look on news websites to find out more.
