ATLANTA (AP) - A new government estimate says swine flu has sickened about 55 million Americans and killed about 11,160.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the estimates on Friday , which cover roughly the first eight months of the pandemic — from April through mid-December.
The CDC last estimated that through mid-November, the pandemic had sickened 50 million Americans and killed 10,000.
Swine flu infections have been waning since late October, and no states were reporting widespread cases as of last week.
