Swine Flu Reports Cause Concerns
McKINNEY, TX - As of Monday morning April 27th, Collin County Health officials have received no reports of any swine flu cases in Collin County. The Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses that causes regular outbreaks in pigs. People do not normally get swine flu, but human infections can and do happen. Swine flu viruses have been reported to spread from person-to-person, but in the past, this transmission was limited and not sustained beyond three people.
In late March and early April 2009, cases of human infection with swine influenza A (H1N1) viruses were first reported in Southern California and in Texas. Other U.S. states have reported cases of swine flu infection in humans and cases have been reported internationally as well. |

ANNA, Texas – While new home construction in Anna has all but disappeared, with only two homes being built so far this year, commercial growth continues to be strong.
A number of projects have been either completed, or are nearing completion, ground has been broken for several other projects, and even more are in early planning stages. The first building of a four-building complex on FM 455, in front of Westfield and directly across Willow Creek communities, has been framed and is in sheet rock stage this week.
