Khun_Kong Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 As everybody knows by now, the infection demographic for H1N1 is markedly different from seasonal flu, afflicting children, teenagers, pregnant women and young adults much more than seniors, who are barely affected at all. Interesting stat released yesterday: In the last 7 weeks (since 30 August), 43 children in the US have died as a result of H1N1 infection. Seasonal flu normally kills 40-50 children during the TOTAL FLU SEASON, which has not even started yet! Of the 86 pediatric deaths in the US, 11 have occured during the last 7 days. Now, in the US, almost 3000 H1N1 related deaths total, compared to about 35,000 seasonal flu deaths on average during the entire flu season.

I was listening to the radio in my truck the other day and they claimed the main cause of death from the flu during WWI may have been caused as a result of aspirin. Apparently some people were treating the flu with massive dosages of aspirin and that might have been the real cause of death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentors Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Germany begins mass swine flu immunizations Germany has begun mass immunizations to prevent the spread of swine flu, the A(H1N1) influenza virus. However, only people with certain occupations will part of the first round of vaccinations in most of the country. he immunizations beginning Monday mark the largest program of its kind in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany. People who work in health and safety occupations, such as doctors, nurses, rescue workers and police, will be the first to get the shots. Anyone suffering a chronic illness can also have the immunization. Germany's 16 states are responsible for administering the immunizations in their own jurisdiction, however, that has resulted in different rules for each state. Some will only allow the key occupational groups to get the first round of immunizations, with the rest of the population to have access in the coming days and weeks. Other states are allowing everyone access to the program from Monday. The German states have collectively ordered 50 million doses of the vaccine Pandemrix from drug company GlaxoSmithKline. It is still unclear if just one injection provides enough protection or if a second shot is necessary. The European Medicine's Agency will make a decision on the number of shots required by mid-November. German authorities have been accused of developing a two-tier system for immunizations. The federal government had ordered a vaccine for top politicians, federal government officials and soldiers that differs from the vaccine ordered for the rest of the population. Germany's Robert Koch Institute has reported three swine-flu-related deaths in the country. http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,4825066,00.html A mass H1N1 immunization program began in the UK Wednesday, with the country's health minister urging all priority groups to take up the vaccine.

Mentors Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Health Ministry finds first pig with H1N1 The Public Health Ministry on Thursday reported the first confirmed case of a pig being infected with the A(H1N1) virus, in Saraburi province. Permanent secretary Paichit Varachit said one from a total of 80 pigs had tested positive for the virus. Mr Paichit said the pig was believed to have caught the virus from a student at the pig breeding centre at asetsart University. However there was no need for panic and pork was still safe to eat if it was cooked properly. The virus woud die if exposed to a temperature of 56 degrees Celsius or higher for 15 to 30 minutes, he said. Water boils at 100 degrees. Mr Paichit also confirmed that there is no transmission of the virus from pigs to humans. http://www.bangkokpost.com/breakingnews/163000/health-ministry-finds-first-pig-with-h1n1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
