(I've noticed an effort to change the nomenclature of the virus in our grips from "swine" flu back to its scientific name, the "H1N1" virus. Haven't decided what to settle on so you'll see various monikers for it here.)

Governor Rick Perry is in San Antonio this afternoon with emergency management, health and education officials. Not sure what's going to come of it yet so I'll put up the updates as we go along...

- 26 confirmed cases as of Thursday morning

- Texas has practiced 28 times for a pandemic event

- "This state is as prepared and has the best professionals overseeing our response than any state in the nation," said Perry.

- Wants Texans to know that the disaster declaration was "normal" course of activity in response to any sort of emergency event. Healthy Texans should continue to go on with daily lives.
