Influenza: Obama Care can’t help toddler with H1N1! Doctors intentionally infecting people to see if vaccines really work! Hospital officials give warning!

27 January 2014 (01:48 UTC-07 Tango)/25 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/07 Bahman 1392/27 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

Alberta, Canada: Influenza death toll now at 15.  More than 2500 confirmed cases, 600 hospitalizations.

Saskatchewan, Canada: Provincial health officials say more people have died from H1N1 than during the 2009-10 pandemic; 16 deaths and 1102 laboratory confirmed cases.  75% of infected people have other health problems.

Mexico: The Secretariat of Health reports 135 influenza deaths since the beginning of January.  1517 cases, with 180% of those happening since 16 January, and the overwhelming majority being H1N1.

The U.S. CDC says for the week of  12-18 January 2014, 96.8% of confirmed flu cases across the U.S.A. are H1N1.

Arizona, United States: A 2 and half years old girl, born with medical problems, is in a medically induced coma after getting H1N1.  Her parents brought her into the hospital when she had trouble breathing, a sign of H1N1.  The girl’s mother is now in the hospital as well, but doctors diagnosed her with Valley Fever.  Doctors said the girl is on as many as 17 medications to try and fight off H1N1. The family needs financial help, so much for Obama Care.

California, United States: State health officials confirmed 95 influenza deaths, and are investigating another 51.  In Turlock a fast food store manager, and mother of two, is in the hospital with severe H1N1.  The Emanuel Medical Center of Turlock is now restricting children from visiting patients. In San Diego, Rady Children’s Hospital reports that since 01 January 2014, 13 children put into ICU  with severe flu.  Hospitals in Los Angeles are expecting a spike in cases.  Cedars-Sinai now requires visitors to wear masks. Hospital officials say they are not seeing a drop in the number of flu infected people coming in, and they expect the next few weeks could see worsening cases.

Illinois, United States: Department of Public Health reporting 122 people in intensive care fighting severe influenza.

Maryland, United States: Want to make $3-thousand USD getting sick on purpose?  The National Institutes for Health is conducting a study to see if vaccines really work.  Yeah that’s right, all that hyperbole about how effective vaccines are is BS: “As mind-boggling as it is, we don’t know the answer to that. We made some assumptions that we knew everything about flu.”-Anthony Fauci, NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

Massachusetts, United States: Alere Incorporated claims they have a flu test that can give you results in 15 minutes.  The U.S. FDA is reviewing it.

Michigan, United States: Department of Community Health reports 232 lab confirmed flu cases since 30 September 2013.  The overwhelming majority are H1N1, and have been hospitalized.

North Dakota, United States: A 30 years old woman was the first to die from H1N1 in the Peace Garden State.

Tennessee, United States: At least 19 people dead from influenza, surpassing the death toll from the 2009-10 H1N1 pandemic.

Texas, United States: The doctor who came down with H1N1 and was initially misdiagnosed by fellow doctors as having a bacterial infection, and then had to be put into a coma for almost a month, has woken up.  His wife and adult daughter also got sick and recovered.

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?

23 January 2014 (08:08 UTC-07 Tango)/21 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/03 Bahman 1392/23 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

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.

Influenza

Influenza: H1N1 hits Cyprus! Florida fighting epidemic! Medical incompetence could kill doctor! Europe planning for 2014-15 pandemic? FEMA preps for pandemic?

22 January 2014 (18:32 UTC-07 Tango 21 January)/20 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/02 Bahman 1392/22 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada:  A second person has died from H1N1.  Health officials report that overall flu cases are well below last year’s numbers.

Ontario, Canada: A 16 months old infant in North Bay died from H1N1.  927 confirmed flu cases in the province.

European Union: The European Centre for Disease prevention and Control (ECDC) says influenza is now hitting Bulgaria, Greece, Portugal and Spain.

Germany reports only four confirmed influenza cases at this point (H3N2 & H1N1).

Across all of the European Union (EU) 62% of flu cases are H1N1, 38% are H3N2.  Despite the common belief that flu is a cold weather bug, European health officials point out that the flu is migrating north as temps warm up.  Influenza season in Europe actually begins in the much warmer Mediterranean countries.

In Cyprus, two people have checked into a privately run hospital with H1N1.  Health officials told Cypriots not to worry as H1N1 is now part of the “…seasonal influenza which is circulating in other European Countries.”

The ECDC is also warning that there is not enough flu shots in the EU.  Not because there is a shortage, but because EU members have failed to stockpile enough.  Most EU members are only at 40%-60% of what is planned to be a mass influenza vaccination program in preparation for the 2014-15 flu season.  Mmmm, why the concern for such a massive vaccination program?

The U.S. FEMA is also preparing for pandemic: “The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is seeking to augment its market research……..bio-medical waste collection and removal services during emergency response events…..Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with one or more contractor(s) for a base period of 1-year plus four twelve-month option periods.”

Florida, U.S.A.: State health officials say influenza is now at epidemic levels.  H1N1 is the dominant version, and it’s hitting pregnant women and people in their 40s hardest.  There are now an average of about 400 new cases per week in the Sunshine State.  Officials admit many counties do not track influenza related deaths.

New York, U.S.A.: Madison County reporting their first H1N1 death.

Texas, U.S.A.: A doctor with the Heart Institute of East Texas, is now in a medically induced coma because of H1N1. His wife is also hospitalized, and suffered a heart attack because of H1N1.  Their adult daughter said H1N1 hit her father hard and fast, and his own fellow doctors misdiagnosed the problem: “He was making his rounds and became nauseous. He went to the emergency room and they told him they thought he had an upper respiratory infection and sent him home with an antibiotic. My mom began to get sick the next day after caring for him.”-Rebecca Gill

Anti-biotics do nothing against flu viruses!  They are for fighting bacteria only. Rebecca Gill says she is sick now, as well, and is asking for financial help.

Wisconsin, U.S.A.:  Reports of 397 hospitalizations.

Influenza: H7N9 medical martial law! U.S. CDC issues directive!

22 January 2014 (17:32 UTC-07 Tango 21 January)/20 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/02 Bahman 1392/22 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

China: National Health and Family Planning Commission now coordinating closely with other national and local government departments to stop the spread of deadly H7N9.   The UN World health Organization reports at least 47 confirmed H7N9 cases in China since the beginning of January.  Most are hospitalized in critical condition. 

Since March 2013, there’ve been at least 200 human cases in China, with at least 55 deaths.

Health officials continue to claim H7N9 is not a human to human virus, despite that fact that more and more cases involve people who’s only contact with H7N9 is with infected humans.

Also, The South China Morning Post says an unnamed hospital official confirmed that a 31 years old surgeon who recently died from H7N9 had no contact with birds.  The unnamed hospital official thinks the doctor got sick from hospital patients infected with H7N9.

Back in August 2013, it was confirmed that a woman caring for her sick father caught H7N9 from him.

Japan:  Japanese health officials have been warning for a long time that H7N9 has become a human influenza.  Now the Japanese government is preparing for medical martial law.

The Tokyo Quarantine Station and Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department held a drill in which 35 people were locked down at the Haneda Airport, for being infected with H7N9.  Japanese health officials say the only way H7N9 is going to get into their country is from sick travelers.

Taiwan: Health officials know what Japan is fearing, as two people who traveled to Taiwan, from mainland China, brought H7N9 with them.  One of those has just died.

An 86 years old man who arrived in Taiwan, in December, sick with H7N9 has just died.  Interestingly he died six days after being released from medical quarantine.  The official cause of death is septic shock.

The first person to bring H7N9 to Taiwan was a man returning from a business trip to China, in April 2013.  It took one month of intensive care before he recovered.

United States: “Potential cases of human infection with influenza A (H7N9) virus should also be investigated, using current case definitions and testing recommendations for avian influenza A (H7N9) virus.”-U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Alberta, Canada: Health Services reporting 10 deaths and 22-hundred confirmed influenza cases.  Don’t blame it on people not getting the flu shot, the province is now rationing their remaining flu shots for children who need a second dose, and for an even bigger outbreak.

New Brunswick, Canada: Health officials report four flu deaths, 300 confirmed flu cases, 50 hospitalizations.  Health officials admitted they do not know how many people have been vaccinated versus those who haven’t been.

Saskatchewan, Canada:  Health Ministry officials report 12 deaths, but they’re not 100% sure if they are flu related.  797 confirmed influenza cases since October. Vaccines are being rationed to children under five years of age, pregnant women and people in ‘high risk groups’.  100-thousand nasal vaccines are expected from the United States.

Mexico: Health Ministry reports 32 deaths from influenza, and 556 confirmed cases (468 confirmed H1N1).  30 of those who died did so from the H1N1 version of flu.  They died within six days of getting infected.  Officials say at least 800-thousand people have been vaccinated.

Spain: The number of H1N1 hospitalizations have jumped to 279, and 11 people have died.  Just a few days ago it was around 43 hospitalizations with two deaths.

The U.S. CDC has declared the influenza an epidemic in the United States.  Interested in becoming an influenza spy?  Apply now for the CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS).      At least 20 children have died from H1N1 (the CDC does not track adult deaths from influenza).

Arkansas, U.S.A.:  A 29 years old Fort Smith woman is in critical condition with H1N1.  She went down fast, only a matter of days from first symptoms to a medically induced coma.  She was 20 weeks pregnant but lost the baby.  Family members say her body automatically delivered the baby, in response to the infection.

California, U.S.A.:  State health officials report spike in deaths.  Current deaths are almost at the number of all Golden State influenza deaths for all of the 2012-13 flu season.

Michigan, U.S.A.: “This year what is concerning is the unusual number of young, previously healthy adults getting sick, needing to be put on life support, and dying from H1N1.”-Matthew Davis, Michigan Department of Community Health

Montana, U.S.A.:  Department of Health and Human Services reports 19-hundred influenza cases, 150 hospitalizations and three deaths since the start of the 2013-14 flu season in October.  Realize that Montana is a sparsely populated state, and you can see their number of cases are relatively high.

Ohio, U.S.A.:  Toledo-Lucas County health officials are warning that they could see record H1N1 deaths this flu season. Seven deaths in the Buckeye State so far.

Texas, U.S.A.: In Denton, a 46 years old mother of two is now in a coma with H1N1.  Doctors say they were forced to induce the coma, to try and save her.

Researchers from Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that their study shows that giving children the flu shot along with the pneumococcal shot can make them sick: “Parents should be made aware that their child might develop a fever following simultaneous influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations…….For the small group of children who must avoid fever, these findings provide important information….”-Melissa Stockwell, Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons

Washington, U.S.A.:  In Vancouver, a 4 years old boy almost died because doctors failed to test him for influenza.  What’s even more unusual is that doctors tested his grandmother and another adult relative for the virus.  His grandmother says she demanded he be tested for H1N1 but says the clinic refused!  They were all sick, but have since recovered.  A doctor told a local TV station that flu tests are expensive and the clinic was probably trying to save money!

Idaho, Influenza

Influenza: Two more prisoners die from H1N1! More U.S. prisoners sick! More grade school kids sick! Canadians say H1N1 kill rate higher than expected! Shutting down banks? Idaho hospital says stay out!

Washington, U.S.A.: The Spokane Regional Health District reports that a woman with other health problems has died from flu.  Currently there are 135 people hospitalized with flu in the Spokane area.  Last year at the same time there were only 31 flu hospitalizations.

Many hospitals are telling sick people to stay away.  What they mean is that if you don’t have severe influenza symptoms stay away, because you’ll just spread the virus in the hospital.  Severe flu symptoms include the usual fever, coughing, aches, plus dehydration and difficulty breathing.  Especially difficulty breathing because that’s how H1N1 kills you.  Hospitals will isolate anyone with severe symptoms to try and keep the virus from spreading.

Anybody notice that H1N1 is targeting adults in their child bearing/rearing years?

California, U.S.A.:  Several pharmacies in the Golden State are reporting they’ve run out of flu shots.  A 23 years old Santa Rosa man also died from H1N1. The man had been sick, thought he recovered, but then suddenly ended up in the hospital, going ‘Code Blue’ within hours of being admitted.  One of his friends, Tanner Petersen, said “Just this quickly, like boom, he goes from being completely fine to where we’re at right now.” Health officials in the San Francisco Bay Area are reporting 13 confirmed H1N1 deaths.  State health officials are investigating 28 other deaths.  Alameda County reports two deaths, Kings County reports two deaths, Fresno County reports one death, Merced County reports two deaths, Contra Costa County reports one death, Santa Clara County reports one death.  Most of the deaths took place after 01 January.   Marin County reports 20% of flu cases there are H1N1.  Stanislaus County reports a spike in critical cases of H1N1.  San Diego County reports that more than 80% of flu cases are H1N1.  The Fresno County Jail is in lockdown after an inmate had to be hospitalized with H1N1.  It only took two days for the virus to make the 61 years old man sick enough to be hospitalized.

Colorado, U.S.A.:  Department of Public Health and Environment reports 748 flu hospitalizations the week ended 04 January 2014.  Compare that to 263 two weeks prior.

Louisiana, U.S.A.:  An eight years old Bossier City girl died from H1N1.   She went to school on Tuesday, 07 January, got sick that night and died the next day!  I think everybody who has children who attend Central Park Elementary School need to keep their kids home and/or have them checked out by competent doctors, NOW!

Massachusetts, U.S.A: In Salem a 53 years old woman died, but health officials refuse to say why.  The woman’s roommate, Keith Rich, told local news sources she was sick with H1N1.  He also said that as soon as she was admitted to the hospital she went into a coma and died the next morning.  Rich stated that hospital officials told him, and others who knew the woman, to stay away from the hospital because they had been exposed to H1N1, and the hospital did not want any patients exposed.  He went to the news media because “It seemed to me like we need to let the general public know…”

Missouri, U.S.A.: Department of Health and Senior Services reports more than 6-thousand influenza cases! Local news sources point out that state health officials lump flu and pneumonia deaths together, so it’s hard to get a definitive death by flu count.  Barnes-Jewish Hospital reports nine H1N1 deaths.  35 people in intensive care. The age range of those who died were 20s to 60s.  Hospital officials say almost 100% of flu cases in their area are H1N1.  They also say being alive before 1957 could save you from H1N1: “Most people who were infected with flu before 1957 and are still alive today have some protection versus the current H1N1, because it’s closely enough related…”-Steven Lawrence, Infectious Disease Physician

He was perfectly healthy!……He laid down to take a nap and two hours later I went to check on him and found him [dead].….It scares me to death that it was not diagnosed properly!”-Lacy Waskom, widow

Influenza

Influenza: Deadly H7N9 makes a comeback! Allied with H9N2! Warning for pregnant women!

11 January 2014 (21:35 UTC-07 Tango 10 January 2014)/09 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/21 Dey 1392/11 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

A 38 years old man in China died today, the same day it was confirmed he was infected with H7N9.  So far this year there are at least ten human infections (150 human infections since the beginning of 2013, 45 deaths) involving a virus that is still considered a bird only flu.

At least four of the latest human cases had contact with poultry.  Six are in critical condition.

Chinese researchers have discovered that not only are poultry infected with H7N9, but they are infected with H9N2 as well.  Further research resulted in their conclusion that H9N2 (duck flu) is playing a role in the evolution of H7N9.  Genetic testing showed H7N9 genes containing genes from H9N2.

Restaurants, as well as poultry markets, are found to have the virus and massive cleaning is being undertaking.  A restaurant in Guangzhou Province was shut down and 27 employees are now under medical observation.

The Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention is warning pregnant woman: “Our findings suggest that pregnancy might be a risk factor for clinically severe influenza in young women infected with H7N9 subtype virus.”

The Jiangsu CDC reported that a pregnant woman almost died from H7N9, having to undergo intensive anti-viral treatments.  They also pointed out that she had no contact with birds!

At least two people died from H7N9 in Hong Kong.  The Hong Kong Department of Health reports three new cases, for a total of 149 cases.

Taiwan reports two human cases of H7N9.  Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council issued a Yellow Travel Alert for anybody going to Shanghai.

The University of Melbourne, in Australia, found that some people are immune to H7N9.  It has to do with the lymphocyte CD8+ T.  Some people have it, some don’t.  Those that have it can fight off influenza better than those who don’t.

Influenza H1N1: Prisons incubating H1N1? Tamiflu resistant version hits Japan! Swedish study says medications making flu stronger! Targeting pregnant women?

Alberta, Canada: Ten people dead, 300 people hospitalized, 1-thousand confirmed cases!

British Columbia, Canada: One person dead, 40 people hospitalized.  40% of infections are H1N1.

Saskatchewan, Canada: A 35 years old father of six died from H1N1.

Sapporo, Japan: National Institute of Infectious Diseases confirms that six people are sick with H1N1 that is resistant to Tamiflu and Rapiacta anti-viral treatments.  They are recommending the anti-virals Relenza and Inavir to treat H1N1.

Sweden: Studies underway at Umeå University and Uppsala University show that Tamiflu residues that end up in sewage actually make influenza stronger, and they blame Japan: “Our results show that Tamiflu’s active metabolite, secreted by human urine, is not removed in traditional wastewater treatment plants. We have been able to trace Tamiflu in river water in Japan during the flu season 2007/ 08 as well as in Europe during the influenza pandemic 2009. Japan is the country that uses most antiviral drugs in the world during seasonal flu.”-Hanna Söderström

California, U.S.A.: The Santa Clara County Health Department confirmed the Golden State’s first H1N1 death.  A 41 years old woman died back on 23 December 2013.  It took this long for medical tests to confirm she had H1N1.  But since then, two more Californians have died, a woman in Sacramento County and a woman in Orange County.
