cavanami Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Maybe I got my flu mixed up? In any event, the "new" flu, is a hoax and the vaccine is untested (not tested enough) and is not needed, IMO. Dr. Mercola is a "DO" not a "MD". In any event, he is a licensed, practicing doctor. Being "ordered by the FDA" for something is bogus. There is/was a doctor in Houston, Texas that was having good success in curing cancer and the FDA, AMA (all the alphabet folks) got down on him...oppps, can't cure something as that will be a customer lost! What was this thread about... yes, there are easy/cheap cures/protections available for this H1N1 virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiHome Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 You don’t see any correlation between a “massive vaccine program†and a pandemic not occurring? TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun_Kong Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Today's Bangkok Post... "Daily Flu Updates Ended The Public Health Ministry stops giving daily updates on the A(H1N1) influenza pandemic, saying it wants to avoid public confusion." Put it together with yesterdays TAT announcement that H1N1 will have zero impact on tourism. What a bunch of self-serving friggin' monkeys. So, the baboons said they would update weekly, on Wednesdays. Now 23:00 Wednesday and no update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentors Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Ministry reports 20 flu deaths in 7 days The Public Health Ministry is reporting 20 more deaths from the deadly type-A (H1N1) flu and estimates more than 500,000 Thais have been infected. The new fatalities recorded over the past seven days raises the country's death toll to 44 from the flu pandemic. Another 35 patients were in hospital, seven of them in critical condition, the ministry said in its weekly report, which replaces its daily report in an attempt to calm public panic about the disease. http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/20744/ministry-reports-20-flu-deaths-in-7-days First case in Americas of drug-resistant swine flu: reports MONTREAL  Health officials in Canada have identified a case of swine flu that has proved resistant to the antiviral drug Tamiflu, media reports said Wednesday. The case was detected in a Quebec man in his 60s, who had been taking a smaller-than-recommended dose of the drug before coming in contact with his son, who was ill with the virus, The Journal de Quebec and other local newspapers reported. The elderly patient, who also suffers from chronic bronchitis, presumably already had become infected with the A(H1N1) virus while taking the Tamiflu medication -- which any rate was administered in doses too small to ward off the virus. Doctors called the revelation "disquieting" proof of the virus's ability to evolve quickly, and noted a handful of similar drug-resistant swine flu cases that have cropped up elsewhere. "This would be the first case to our knowledge of Tamiflu resistance in swine fly in North America," said Guy Boivin, a physician at the Laval University Medical Center in Quebec, noting cases of drug resistance in Denmark, Japan and Hong Kong. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hl_odMTvRDolCGw1RgFoFqbuCKFg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentors Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Swine flu has spread to almost every country: WHO GENEVA  The swine flu virus has spread to almost every country in the world since it was discovered at the end of March, the World Health Organisation said Friday. "The spread of this virus continues, if you see 160 out of 193 WHO member states now have cases, so we are nearing almost 100 percent but not quite yet," said Gregory Hartl, spokesman for the WHO. Hartl added that the A(H1N1) virus, which the WHO declared a pandemic in June, has resulted in around 800 deaths. However, he said it was not possible to give a death rate for the virus, given that "we don't have the exact numerator or denominator." The WHO late last week stopped issuing figures of infected people worldwide. It said however, that it was continuing to watch for the virus's appearance in new territories. Meanwhile, Hartl said there remained many unknowns about the virus. "We don't know how the virus will change going forward," he said. Another unknown is how the virus would behave in the northern hemisphere's winter, given that it was uncovered only during springtime in the north, he added. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hKdFkdbPG53WKSGTNgwZJ1DNkXng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentors Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Health staff to visit homes nationwide More than 900,000 village health volunteers will on Monday begin visiting households nationwide to educate people on ways to protect themselves from infection by the swine flu virus, Public Health Minister Witthaya Keawparadia said on Friday. This visits would continue until the end of this month, the minister said. Health volunteers would also help screen and separate patients who develop flu-like symptom before rushing them to hospitals, Mr Witthaya said. The visits and screening was aimed at reducing the fatality rate from the A (H1N1) flu virus http://www.bangkokpost.com/breakingnews/150021/health-officials-to-visit-all-houses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
