Well, that’s no fun.

From WSB-TV:

The CDC confirmed a case of swine flu Thursday at West Georgia Medical System Hospital in LaGrange in Troup County.

Troup County health officials said Wednesday night during a public meeting that a sample from a patient at the hospital was sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for testing. The sample came back possible for swine flu.

The patient, a 30-year-old female, is from out of state. CDC officials said she has a history of traveling to Cancun, Mexico.
