At least 114 children have died from swine flu complications since the pandemic began in April. That's up from 95 reported a week ago. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the statistics on Friday.
The CDC reported that swine flu is widespread now in all but two states. Health officials estimate that many millions of Americans have been infected, though most suffer only mild illness.
