Martial Law U.S.A. 2014: Idaho cop joins dumb ass dog killer club! If a cop can kill a dog for barking then why can’t one person kill another for playing Thug Music?

“It was right outside my son’s bedroom. What if it had ricocheted through the window?”-Rick Clubb

A dumb ass Obama licking Idaho cop from the city of Filer (in Twin Falls County), killed a Black Lab after he aggressed it by kicking it, screaming at it and shoving a gun in its face, multiple times.

A cop was called by neighbors simply complaining that two dogs were running loose.  The Filer police department says their wimp ass cop was being “aggressed” by the Labs.

Video posted on the internet shows that the responding dip schtick cop got the dogs riled up when he aggressed them by screaming at the dogs even before he got out of the car. He began kicking at the dogs, pulled his gun and started shoving it in their faces, screaming “Get back!” as if dogs can understand human talk!  (I’ve put some of my dogs through obedience training and don’t ever recall “Get back!” being part of the verbal command training)

If you can kick a dog away from you, while screaming at it and shoving a gun in its face, then two things are possible:  1; the dog is not that aggressive and will probably keep its distance if you keep yours, 2; the dog will eventually attack if you continue to harass and ‘aggress’ the dog in such a manner!

It looks to me that the dogs are only protecting their owner’s property, and the aggressive behavior of the Obama regime cop makes them more upset (but oh,  this is exactly how Obama regime cops are trained to respond to any situation; with aggression)!

The Black Lab that was killed was a service dog for the man of the house, who has Parkinson’s disease: “I’m going to sue them, I’m going to sue the City of Filer and the police chief and officer!”-Rick Clubb

By the way, the owners of the dogs were holding a birthday party for their nine years old son while the evil cop was outside killing their dog.

Everyday I witness the same dumb ass cop behavior in our neighborhood kids as they walk home from the school bus stop.  They like to scream, and thrown sticks and rocks at dogs that are behind six foot tall fences.  Many times when I go outside and tell the kids to stop, they tell me it’s the dogs that are ‘aggressing’ them!  So if in the minds of dog phobic people all it takes is for a dog to bark at them in order to feel justified in causing it harm (even when it’s behind a fence), then maybe that guy who’s on trial for killing people because they played “thug music” is justified as well!  He says he feels threatened by thug music.

Better yet, I feel threatened by dog phobic people, as well as by people who are against the U.S. Bill of Rights, and people who push their religion on me…………If simply feeling threatened is not a legal excuse for violence, why do cops not only get away with it all the time, but are actually trained to respond to ‘threats’ with lethal violence?

Global Food Crisis: Food prices to skyrocket as Mega Drought hits western U.S. Redux of 1920-30s Dust Bowl Drought?

02 February 2014 (20:00 UTC-07 Tango 01 February)/01 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/13 Bahman 1392/03 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

“If groundwater was your only supply, you would potentially have no income this year.”-Tim Luke, Idaho Department of Water Resources

“This is the first time in the 54 year history of the State Water Project that projected water supplies for both urban and agricultural uses have been reduced to zero.”-Mark Cowin, California Department of Water Resources

California: For the first time in the Golden State’s history the State Water Project could cut off water to cities.  Farmers in the Sacramento and San Joaquin river basins are being told not to expect any water this year.  Farmers under the federally controlled Central Valley Project are expecting to be cut off from water as well.  California residents must reduce water usage by at least 20%.  17 communities in central California are facing zero water supply.  About 75% of water usage in California is by the agriculture industry.  Citrus growers say they could lose their 30 years old orchards, meaning it would be years before California could supply citrus fruits to market!

California is the number one state in terms of cash farm receipts, accounting for 15% of the entire United States agricultural industry.  The Golden State also accounts for half of all fruit, nut and vegetable production in the U.S.!

Idaho: Climatologists at the University of Idaho say the Gem State hasn’t been this dry since the 1920-30s drought that created the Dust Bowl in the Plain States. Blaine County has been declared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be in extreme drought.  Irrigation farmers from southern to eastern Idaho have been told by the Department of Water Resources to expect no water during summer.  It’s blamed on the fact that fish hatcheries are running low on water, and state officials have decided that fish hatcheries come before farmers who bought water rights to the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer after 1974.  Southwestern Idaho is under extreme drought conditions.  The summer water cut off could also apply to cities across Idaho.

The top agriculture products from Idaho are dairy, cattle, potatoes, wheat, and hay.

Montana: Local news reports revealed that evil Carlyle Group has rejected the city of Missoula’s offer to buy Carlyle owned Mountain Water Company, for $50-million USD.  The people of Montana will seek legal action to kick out the evil for profit Carlyle Group.  Mountain Water Company is the only privately held water supplier in Montana.

Nevada: About half the state under extreme drought conditions.

Oregon: Officials in the Beaver State are hoping a wetter than normal spring will make up for the dryer than normal winter.  75% of the state is under severe drought. Last year only 4.8% of the state was under sever drought conditions.

Washington:  Under moderate drought conditions.

More Economic Decline: Idaho Christian Republican rips off taxpayers then gives flippant explanation!

“We stand behind my report and my auditors’ conclusions.”-April Renfro, Certified Public Accountant for Idaho’s Legislative Audits Division

The latest audit of the Idaho State Treasurer’s Office revealed widespread abuse of state taxpayer funds.  The Office has been headed by Republican Christian Ron Crane since 1998!

Legislative auditors discovered that Crane oversaw the loss of $10.6-million USD in bad investments of taxpayer money! Auditors expect the loss to climb to $27-million!  The long overdue investigation is late to the game, because such claims of huge loses came as early as 2008!

The investigation says Crane ignored state laws meant to reduce financial risks!  Crane is currently playing around with $2.9-billion in state funds!

Of course Crane denies everything, and even questioned the state auditors’ competency saying they “…second guess our decision by using ‘hindsight’…”

And this guy keeps getting re-elected!  Like George Carlin said, “You voted them in. You caused the problem.”

More Economic Decline: Red State Idaho ripped off by Blue Blood Washington DC? Or is it that Red State politicians got caught cheating? Idaho schools shorted by $7-million & growing!

“All contracts made in violation of these statutes are void and any money advanced by the state, must be repaid.”-Justice Jim Jones, Idaho Supreme Court

Old mister poopy diaper pants supposedly for improving education, Barack Obama, is once again living up to his lying liar reputation!  Or is it the lying liar Republican officials in Idaho?

The Idaho legislature has just been informed that the Obama regime’s FCC (Federal Communication Commission) has withheld $7-million in tax dollars from Idaho’s high speed internet system for the Gem State’s High Schools!

It took Idaho’s Department of Administration’s Teresa Luna (a Mormon) this long to tell ‘elected’ officials about the missing funding!

Luna has known that the primary contractors, CenturyLink and Education Networks of America have not been paid, by the Obama regime, since March 2013!  Teresa Luna just happens to be the sister of Tom Luna (a Mormon), former George W. Bush regime official and Idaho’s current State Department of Education boss!

Oh but wait, there’s more to this story:  Turns out that Syringa Networks is suing the Gem State on the grounds the CenturyLink contract for the Idaho Education Network is illegal!  The case has been stuck in the Idaho Supreme Court since last year, and the Obama regime’s FCC says they are not going to pay their share of the funding until the case is settled! (it’s expected that Idaho schools will lose another $7-million during the 2014-15 school year)

So maybe this is actually another case of corrupt Idaho ‘elected’ officials screwing things up by playing favoritism and awarding contracts under the table?  It wouldn’t be the first time.

By the way, Teresa Luna was appointed to her position by corrupt governor Butch Otter in 2011, to replace the guy that suspiciously awarded the contract to CenturyLink.   Tom Luna miraculously won elections after the fact in 2007 (and suddenly Tom Luna has announced he won’t run for re-election!).  I could’ve sworn that Tom Luna was initially appointed to the position by Otter, but everything on the internet says he was ‘elected’.  Like George Carlin said, “You voted them in. You caused the problem.”

More Economic Decline: Idaho bank becomes 3rd to fail in 2014!

Syringa Bank of Idaho has become the 3rd U.S. bank to officially fail in 2014! On 31 January 2014, the bank was seized by the by the Idaho Department of Finance and turned over to the FDIC.

No explanation was given as to why the bank failed.  Also, no warning of bank closures are legally required.

The FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) took the Gem State’s Syringa Bank assets and gave them to a California bank, Sunwest Bank.  FDIC officials say Syringa’s failure will cost them $4.5-million USD!   The FDIC is also warning that more banks will fail, saying by 2016 that $10-billion could be spent on failed banks!

DuPage National Bank, in Illinois, was the first bank to fail in 2014.  The Bank of Union, in Oklahoma, was the second.

In 2013, 24 U.S. banks failed and were shut down.

Idaho, Influenza

Influenza: H1N1 kills woman in three days. More prison deaths! Caused by vitamin D deficiency? H1N1 hits Thailand! H1N1 targeting diabetics?

01 February 2014 (03:12 UTC-07 Tango)/30 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/12 Bahman 1392/02 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Researchers say they are closer to identifying the specific protein that allows influenza to maintain more than one ‘shape’ at the same time and to rapidly evolve. They are suspecting “specific residues in matrix protein 1”.

Claims that not enough people in the United States are not getting the flu shot are bogus, because there is no official tracking of people who go to for-profit pharmacies or clinics to get vaccinated! Adults in the United States are not issued with vaccination record books.

When you read the following, note that most flu cases are in warmer regions, not in colder regions.  More proof that influenza is not a cold weather bug.

Canada: Is there a influenza news blackout? Not much flu news is coming out of the Great White North ever since shortages of vaccines were reported.

European Union: The ECDC reports that 32% of samples from 27 member countries have tested positive for influenza. Scotland, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Bulgaria reporting that H1N1 is the dominate version.  The ECDC is also warning of outbreaks in European controlled areas of the Caribbean.  An outbreak on Saint Martin is “expanding”.  There’s an outbreak on Dominica.

Mexico:  Ministry of Health officials say the number of H1N1 deaths have hit 195, and have confirmed 1965 infections! That’s a big jump from the week prior. But officials are not willing to call it an epidemic, yet, they say it depends on what happens in the next five weeks.

Thailand: A Thai soldier has died from H1N1 (swine flu). Thai health officials are criticizing news media for falsely reporting that he died from a bird flu. At least one other Thailander is confirmed sick with H1N1.

United Kingdom: Doctor Robert Edgar Hope-Simpson believes there is a connection between people who get sick with influenza and a lack of vitamin D.  It’s based on the idea that the northern hemisphere gets less sunlight during the flu season.  However, the standard dose of 400 IU of vitamin D does not prevent wintertime immunity deficiencies, so more might be needed.  Hope-Simpson points out that people who live in the far north have a heavy fish diet, meaning they eat a lot of vitamin D which could explain lower flu cases.  He also says people with darker skin are more susceptible to getting sick because they have naturally lower levels of vitamin D.

Alaska, U.S.A.: The Alaska Department of Health announced the third H1N1 death for the Last Frontier state. The 49 years old man did not get sick in Alaska, rather he got sick while visiting his wife and kids in much warmer Arizona!  His mother found him dead in his bathroom in his Alaska home.

Arizona, U.S.A.: Yuma County (one of the warmest, actually hottest places in the U.S.) reports a child has died from H1N1.  The have confirmed 72 cases of flu in the sparsely populated county.

California,U.S.A.: On 31 January 2014, state health officials reported 147 deaths involving people under the age of 65!  Compared to the same time last flu season there were only 14 deaths involving people under the age of 65!  In Sacramento, a local TV saleswoman described as healthy by co-workers, was killed within three days by H1N1.  Co-workers say she’d actually been “feeling” sick for about two weeks, then went into the hospital and three days later was dead.   San Louis Obispo County Jail reports their first H1N1 death.  It’s also the first H1N1 death for the entire county.  The 35 years old prisoner’s death was officially the result of “…respiratory failure due to septic shock as a consequence of influenza A and staphylococcus.”  Also, in the same county the Ocean View Elementary School reports a “serious” case of H1N1, but refused to give anymore details. In San Diego, a city councilman reported that his “relatively healthy” brother died from H1N1.  The councilman’s brother lived in Pennsylvania.  San Diego County health officials reported eight new deaths in the past week, for a total of 20 so far. Santa Clara County reports two more deaths.

Idaho, U.S.A.: Southwest District Health offering reduced price flu shots for only $12 USD, on 04 February. (that’s right all you people in other countries who get ‘free’ flu shots, we have to pay for them up front). Southeastern Idaho Public Health reports increasing cases of influenza.

Indiana, U.S.A.: 30 deaths so far.

Kansas, U.S.A.: Another flu related death, this time in Sedgwick County.  Reports say a man got sick and died just two days later.  Doctor Maggie Hagen said this season’s influenza is hitting people who “normally” don’t get sick, adding “That means that influenza season will not end soon……..take precautions…”

Louisiana, U.S.A.: So far total influenza deaths have hit 49, since October 2013.

Michigan, U.S.A.: A city of Riverview employee survived a H1N1 infection that gave him a broken foot!  The man credits getting a flu shot for saving his life, but blames H1N1 for the broken foot.  He says he was so sick that when he got out of bed he collapsed, falling on his foot wrong and breaking it! Also, a retired reporter died from H1N1. He was going to be flown to a hospital but his oxygen levels crashed preventing the medevac.

New Mexico, U.S.A.: Department of Health reports 5th person to be killed by H1N1.

North Carolina, U.S.A.: State officials report 11 deaths last week!

Ohio, U.S.A.: A Phillipsburg firefighter died from H1N1. He had to be put into a coma, and for awhile it looked like he was recovering.

Oklahoma, U.S.A.: Five new deaths for a total of 25.  800 hospitalizations.

Oregon, U.S.A.: Health Authority FluBites claims the number of flu cases are going down.

South Carolina, U.S.A.: Eight new flu deaths for a total of 49. 25-thousand cases, more than 13-hundred hospitalizations!

Texas, U.S.A.: In Arlington, a woman made an unexpected recovery just one day before doctors expected her to die: “Doctors said a day later it would’ve been too late, because then I would have turned septic.”-Julie Shelley

The day before Xmas, Shelley was diagnosed with pneumonia and bronchitis, and hospitalized.  Turned out those conditions were caused by H1N1.  Hidalgo County Health Department reports 79 cases of H1N1, and 15 deaths.  County health officials say they are seeing a trend of people with diabetes being hit hardest by H1N1.  Denton County Health Department a 6th flu death.  Dallas County Health and Human Services reports two more flu deaths, and a third possible flu death.  Tarrant County reports its 8th flu death.

Washington DC, U.S.A.: City officials explained that trash pick up is being delayed because many garbage collectors are out sick with flu.

Exceptional Failed State: The Hell of ObamaCare Lies! Secret court documents reveal plan by Idaho hospital and Blue Cross to jack up costs by 60%! Reveals Idaho insurance payments higher than national average!

“By 2012, Saint Luke’s had three of the top five highest paid hospitals, and its top hospital was receiving reimbursements 21% higher than the average Idaho hospital.”-statement made during secret federal court trial

A federal judge ruled that Boise’s Saint Luke’s Regional Medical Center violated antitrust laws when it took over the Nampa’s Saltzer Medical Group.  On top of that, the now public court documents show the takeover was part of a sinister plan by the ‘Christian’ Saint Luke’s to jack up health care costs by as much as 60%!

The scam was revealed by a lawsuit filed against Saint Luke’s by Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, and the Federal Trade Commission.

The secret trial revealed that Saint Luke’s had been advised by consultants (from health insurance company Blue Cross) that if they killed off Saltzer Medical Group, thereby forcing many Idahoans in the area to go to Saint Luke’s, they could increase their billing rates.

The trial was kept secret at the request of Saint Luke’s and Blue Cross.  Both Saint Luke’s and Blue Cross begged the court keep the details of the trial secret once the trial concluded, but U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill ignored that request and “unsealed” the court documents!

The trial also revealed that for some reason Blue Cross pays Idaho hospitals and doctors much more than the national average: “Across the United States, the average commercial insurance plan pays about 120% of what Medicare pays. For overnight hospital stays in Idaho, (Blue Cross) pays between 150% to 200% more than Medicare pays. For outpatient hospital services, (Blue Cross) pays 300% more than Medicare. For routine office visits, (Blue Cross) pays 140% more than other commercial plans.”

Blue Cross and Saint Luke’s have appealed the ruling.

“Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security……..That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”-Barack Obama, 10 September 2013

Exceptional Failed State: Idaho news media misleads public on unemployment! Is it all part of your ‘elected’ officials’ plan to justify ending unemployment assistance?

28 January 2014 (17:00 UTC-07 Tango)/26 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/08 Bahman 1392/28 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

For the past few days Idaho news media have been painting a rosy picture, saying Idaho’s unemployment rate dropped by one percent.  And some even went as far as declaring the bad local economy dead!

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that Idaho’s unemployment rate for December fell to 5.7%.   Some Idaho news sources must’ve got hit with complaints about their initial interpretation of the unemployment rate, because some local news sources went on to admit, in later reports, that December’s jobs were almost all temporary end of year holiday hires.

(An east Idaho TV station actually re-edited their initial report.  The initial report had Idaho Department of Labor employee, Will Jensen, saying the unemployment rate went down because “more people found work and there was an increase in people filing for first time unemployment benefits”.  A seeming have your cake and eat it too scenario.  The new version of their report, which is now on their website, not only edits out that comment, but also points out the temporaryness of December’s jobs.)

Here’s a reality check:  The ‘official’ unemployment rate reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the one that the news media and politicians love to point to, is called U-3.  This stat does not include everybody who is unemployed or underemployed.  The stat that tries to included all the unemployed (usually meaning those not getting unemployment assistance and those who quit looking for a job) and underemployed (meaning those working part time when they should be enjoying retirement or those working part time but needing full time hours/pay) is called U-6.

For Idaho, at the end of the 3rd quarter 2013 the U-3 rate was 6.9%, hence why so many ignorant Gem State news sources were virtually declaring the bad economy over when December’s U-3 rate came in at 5.7%.  But what about the U-6 rate?

At the end of 3rd quarter 2013, Idaho’s U-6 rate was at 13.2%!  The U-6 rate for December has not been published, yet.

‘Elected’ Idaho politicians in Washington DC are calling for a halt in an emergency extension of federal unemployment assistance.  They claim it will cost “taxpayers” (keep reading to see who those taxpayers really are) $6-billion USD if it passes.

The unemployment system in Idaho (aka Idaho Job Service) is actually paid for by employers, who’re charged a tax based on how many successful (that’s the key) unemployment claims are made against them.  Some companies even end up getting a tax rebate!

This creates an incentive for companies to lie about the person filing for first time unemployment claim.  In 2011, a PBS program, called Need to Know, reported on the growing problem of TPAs (third party administrators) working to deny unemployment benefits for those who qualify.  Many unemployment  benefits are being denied because the employers are falsely claiming the employee was fired, when they were actually laid off.  Or, in the case of wrongful firings, the TPAs are appealing those cases, even when it is obviously the fault of the employer.

Now realize that federal unemployment assistance is also paid for by unAmerican Corporate America, not employees or individuals paying their individual income tax!  Now you know the real reason Idaho politicians (who actually work for unAmerican Corporate America, the real “taxpayers” they are talking about) want to kill unemployment compensation!

People should be out in the streets with torches and pitchforks!  UnAmerican Corporate America created the mess, and they continue to find new ways to weasel their way out of paying for it, and your ‘elected’ officials are their lapdogs!

Exceptional Failed State: The Hell of ObamaCare Lies! Boise TV station misleads public on Your Health Idaho enrollments! No evidence of “new” enrollees!

KBOI in Boise, Idaho, misled viewers when they reported that 20-thousand Idahoans signed up for Obama Care through the Your Health Idaho exchange.  What they failed to mention is that state Obama Care officials admitted they really don’t have hard and fast numbers!

In an Associated Press report, Your Health Idaho chairman Stephen Weeg, from Pocatello, admitted that most of the 20-thousand reported as “signed up under Obama Care” were probably people already on Medicaid/Medicare!  As far as how many new enrollees there were Wegg revealed that Obama Care is not set up to distinguish between people who were already getting government medical help and people who are new to the system: “We’d love to have that data…..we’ll have to figure out if there’s a way we can collect that information.”

The Associated Press report goes on to say that Idaho insurers admitted that most of the people paying for insurance under Obama Care already had insurance prior to Obama Care!

Boise’s KBOI also reported that Your Health Idaho director, Amy Dowd, told Idaho lawmakers that she doesn’t think the federally mandated exchange will require state funding to operate.  But the Associated Press report says she admitted she’s not really sure about that : “We don’t know how much it will cost to run our call center. We don’t know how renewals will go….”

Amy Dowd is still under fire for awarding a no bid contract to a former Your Health Idaho board member. The corrupt governor even approved the contract even though it violated state law.

Influenza: H1N1 hits Vietnam! Yet another study links vaccine with Narcolepsy! County health officials say Vaccine has 40% failure rate! Over the counter meds spreading the flu?

Ontario, Canada: Researchers at McMaster University have discovered that widespread use of off the shelf/over the counter non-prescription cold medication is actually spreading influenza: “When they have flu, people often take medication that reduces their fever. No one likes to feel miserable, but it turns out that our comfort might be at the cost of infecting others. Because fever can actually help lower the amount of virus in a sick person’s body and reduce the chance of transmitting disease to others, taking drugs that reduce fever can increase transmission.”-David Earn

Seoul, Korea: A former California native died from H1N1.  The 32 years old English teacher died just 24 hours after phoning friends and family in the Golden State, to tell them she was sick.  The Sacramento family needs financial help to bring her body home for burial. 

Stockholm, Sweden: Researchers at the Karolinska Institute say the vaccine specifically for H1N1 causes narcolepsy.

Alabama, U.S.A.: Doctors at University of Alabama are resorting to an extreme treatment to fight H1N1.  It’s known as ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation).  It involves a machine that bypasses your heart and lungs in order to provide oxygen to your body.  It’s considered a last resort treatment.   H1N1 kills by depriving your body of oxygen, if you’re sick and you have trouble breathing and feel tired (caused by lack of oxygen) get to a hospital fast.

Arkansas, U.S.A.: Department of Health reports a total of 24 flu deaths.

Arizona, U.S.A.: State health officials report a 50% increase in flu cases in the past week.  If you have signs of H1N1, shortness of breath and tired from lack of oxygen, there’s a reason you need to get to the hospital fast: “If someone seeks medical attention and gets on an anti-viral medication within the first 48 hours, we can usually truncate the illness and mitigate the symptoms. After 48 hours, the medicine doesn’t usually work.”-Kurt Solem, Scottsdale Healthcare

California, U.S.A.: Sacramento County reports a total of 14 flu deaths. Madera County reports their first H1N1 death.  Santa Barbara County reports a 20 years old woman died of flu, but they’re not sure yet which version of flu.  Officials have confirmed three people sick with H1N1.  Fresno County reports four new deaths. Contra Costa County reports three new deaths.  San Francisco County reports one death. San Mateo County reports one new death.  Sonoma County reports one death. In San Diego, Scripps announced that at all their five hospitals visitors will be screened for flu before they can visit loved ones. Visitors who test positive for flu will be turned away. Many hospitals across California are restricting visitation. Doctors are advising that people start wearing masks.  Flu season now considered worst in past five years.

Connecticut, U.S.A.: Westport Weston Health District out of vaccines.  This contradicts the main streamer news media constantly harping that not not enough people are getting the flu shot.

Florida, U.S.A.: A flu death at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, and a flu death at University Hospital in Tamarac.

Idaho, U.S.A.: Kootenai Health, in Coeur d’Alene, had to turn people away due to overcrowding: “At one point we were short of critical care beds and running short of ventilators for life support.”-Walt Fairfax, Chief Medical Officer

Kansas, U.S.A.: Sedgwick County health officials report continued increase in influenza cases, despite the fact that about 40% of the residents have been vaccinated.  Officials now say the vaccine is only 60% effective.

Kentucky, U.S.A.: Veterinarians from the University of Kentucky are warning that the use of NSAIDs pain killers will interfere with influenza vaccines! The warning concerns horses being given flu shots, and pain killers.  The NSAID could prevent the horse from developing anti-bodies to the flu vaccine.  If this could be a problem for horses, what about humans?

Nevada, U.S.A.:  State health officials report nine flu deaths so far, more than the number of flu deaths at the same time last year.

North Carolina, U.S.A.: Alamance County reports their first flu death, a child.  So far 28 people have died from influenza in the Old North State.

North Dakota, U.S.A.:  Sanford Hospital in Bismark is asking children to stay away: “Since we’re in the peak season we need to protect our patients. It seems to be a little more aggressive in the middle-aged patients than in the past so it’s our responsibility to protect those that we can and those are the patients housed in our institution here.”-Anthony Tello

Ohio, U.S.A.:  A 29 years old man became the 5th person to die from H1N1 in Lucas County.  The father of the man said they took him to an urgent care center, where doctors told him his son did not need to be hospitalized because “he is young, he’ll bounce back”.  He was sent home, only to get worse.  He went to hospital when he could hardly breath.  He died of double pneumonia.  It was only a matter of a few days from the time he got sick to when he died.  H1N1 kills by depriving your body of oxygen, if you’re sick and you have trouble breathing and feel tired (caused by lack of oxygen) get to a hospital fast.

Oregon, U.S.A.: A woman in her 50s is in a medically induced coma at OHSU.  Her boyfriend said it hit her hard, going into pneumonia shortly after going to the hospital. Her breathing was reduced to 10%! Doctors said her only chance for recovery was to be put into a coma.  H1N1 kills by depriving your body of oxygen, if you’re sick and you have trouble breathing and feel tired (caused by lack of oxygen) get to a hospital fast.

Tennessee, U.S.A.: Vanderbilt University Medical Center reports 17 influenza deaths.  Metro Health Department out of vaccines (this shows you that a lot of people are getting the flu shot).

Texas, U.S.A.: Local news reports say many health clinics have run out of vaccine.  Pharmacies are reporting they have plenty of shots, however several people interviewed by local TV news reported that they tried to get a shot at a retail pharmacy a couple of weeks ago and were told they were out of stock.

Washington, U.S.A.: Four Spokane hospitals had to turn people away due to overcrowding.

Hanoi, Vietnam: 41 students from Tri Duc High School were hospitalized with H1N1.  Health officials say most have recovered but a few are still sick with fever.
