Quarantined US mayor stuck in Shanghai

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, who had been due in Australia for a speaking engagement, instead remained in quarantine in Shanghai yesterday over a swine flu scare, his spokesman said.
Nagin, who was detained Sunday after a fellow passenger on his flight fell ill with a suspected case of swine flu, has missed several meetings in the Chinese business hub since being quarantined, spokesman James Ross told AFP.
"Mayor Nagin, his wife and executive protection staff are all doing very well. They are feeling fine and they have no symptoms of illness," he said.
