H1N1 virus reaches epidemic levels in the US

The purpose of this post is?

The H1N1 strain is prominent is this year's flu epidemic:

Deadly H1N1 Spreading Across U.S. - weather.com

Late last month, health officials in Texas confirmed that the H1N1 flu killed six people. Officials expressed some concern because this year’s flu vaccine is designed to help prevent H1N1 cases.

Texas isn’t the only state dealing with H1N1 cases. Here are some of the states battling the swine flu:

Michigan. Swine flu has killed three adults, and infected about a dozen more child and adults. These patients remain on life support, according to The Detroit Free Press.
California. Last week, Santa Clara Health Department officials reported the state’s first flu death of the season. The victim tested positive for the H1N1 strain, and other counties have also reported positive tests for the virus. In addition to seven cases in Santa Clara County, Marin County and Contra Costa County have reported several cases of swine flu, according to NBC Bay Area.
Oregon. Health officials confirmed two deaths from H1N1 flu, and another 81 hospitalizations, according to King 5 News.
Utah. Utah officials warn that swine flu is on the rise, and could be responsible for the first two flu deaths reported last week, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
North Carolina. The flu has killed 13 people in North Carolina, according to USA Today.

The CDC reports that the flu is now widespread in more than half of the country, with many states reporting severe outbreaks. As of the last weekly flu advisory report, widespread activity has been reported in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington state and Wyoming.
 
Just wanted to know this wasn't a flame thread. some people take pleasure in others suffering.

It is a given that flame threads against certain countries will always be tolerated at least, if not encouraged, here. The best policy is to keep calm and keep replying on topic.

The H1N1 strain was known to be active for this flu season and was therefore included in the flu polyvaccine for this year, so the spread has been controlled thus far.

When it came to India in 2009 ,Pune was the worst hit, there were deaths every day and it was spreading, i remember how the govt virtually shut down the city . All shops and establishments were closed and so were offices, hell not a restaurant was open . This way they managed to curtail the spread of the virus.

Using vaccine reduces the number and severity of cases, in addition to the isolation precautions you mention.

The vaccine was not developed in those early days of the outbreak.

The problem is the long lead time in predicting the strain mix for the next season and then readying the needed number of doses. Both are not easy.

It IS a flame thread seeing the Chinese antipathy toward the yanks!! :dirol:

However, of interest is the conspiracy that it probably is a biological weapon that escaped from the labs - or was it done on purpose? After an unsuccessful attempt made by the American researchers to extract the h1n1 from the genetic material of a person deceased because of the swine flu, researchers abandoned this project, at least for public consumption.

It is believed that the researchers continued to study this virus, as a preparation for the next generation of wars, based on pandemic diseases and biological weapons. Otherwise, it can’t be explained how the researchers managed to release a public study about h1n1 in 1997, a study that contained all the important details about the H1N1 virus.

Other researchers who were not involved in this project stated that such a complete study about this virus is not possible without years of study, and from there, the media started to fuel the conspiracy about the pandemic diseases being developed by the American Government.
 
That's not an epidemic. 50,000 people die each year in the US from taking prescription drugs. that is an epidemic that seem to be ignored by everyone.

Yes it's scary, i've heard about hundreds of cases of people diying by medicaments (Mediator), nobody is punished

It's obvious that they have relationships with the politicians. They sell us for billions of dollars vaccines for nothing and nobody is caught
