Influenza

Influenza: H1N1 not normal “Her lungs hemorrhaged!” More proof the media misleads about vaccinations! Woman who gets flu shot, dies! ObamaCare kills insurance for woman fighting H1N1! Cats dying from H1N1! Deaths skyrocket in vaccinated Mexico!

13 February 2014 (20:50 UTC-07 Tango 12 February 2014)/12 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/24 Bahman 1392/14 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Alberta, Canada: The University of Calgary’s veterinary facilities confirmed that a cat died from H1N1: “This is the first case that we’re aware of in Canada involving H1N1 in cats.”-Alastair Cribb, Dean of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine

Saskatchewan, Canada: Despite massive public vaccination programs, three more people hospitalized with H1N1.  16 people have died.

Egypt:  Ministry of Health reporting that H1N1 deaths now at 38 people.  320 hospitalized.

Greece, European Union: The Hellenic Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports 21 H1N1 deaths and 105 hospitalizations.

India: The city of Visakhapatnam reports its first H1N1 death of 2014. This comes as “eminent” Indian doctor, Kutikuppala Surya Rao, concluded what I’ve warned about in past articles: “Unlike polio and hepatitis-B viruses, which had not shown any genetic mutations over decades due to which vaccinations have been quite effective in controlling these ailments, swine flu viruses are undergoing changes at the genome level (ribo-nucleic acid) which is why the available vaccines, that are in use since 2009, will not be effective against the virus.”

Jordan: Ministry of Health reports first H1N1 death of 2014.  At least 25 cases.

Malaysia: The Women and Children Hospital, in Likas, reports seven confirmed and 31 suspected cases of H1N1.

Mexico: Influenza deaths now at 421 (390 from H1N1)!  An increase of almost 200 from what was reported the week prior!  3679 confirmed influenza cases, mostly H1N1 (1465 more than the week prior).  The week prior it was also reported that more than 21–million Mexicans had been vaccinated.

Arkansas, U.S.A.: The woman who got sick with H1N1 in January, then gave birth to a baby boy who died, has now died.

California, U.S.A.:  State health officials reported 202 influenza deaths as of 10 February.   That’s 11 times more than the same time period during the 2012-13 flu season.  In Turlcok, a woman is now recovering from weeks of fighting H1N1 in the hospital.  Her family is asking for financial help, because her employer canceled her health insurance on 31 December 2013, no thanks to gottdamned Obama Care!!!

Kansas, U.S.A.: Department of Health and Environment reports 16 flu deaths, which is less than half the number of people who died from influenza last year, during the same time period.

Louisiana, U.S.A.:  Department of Health and Hospitals reports two children dying from influenza.  53 total deaths since October.

Massachusetts, U.S.A.: A 49 years old woman, who got the gottdamned flu shot, died from H1N1! “That’s the kicker of the whole thing. She had the flu shot, we all did!”– Pamela Giusti, sister

Ohio, U.S.A.: Reports that paranoid people are scrambling to get the flu shot, even though there is no absolute proof it works! Local news reports say the average cost of the flu shot is $30 USD.

Oregon, U.S.A.: A 50 years old Grants Pass woman died after several weeks fighting H1N1.  Oregon health officials do not keep track of flu related cases, but some news sources say at least 14 people have died since October.

Tennessee, U.S.A.:  Scientists with Saint Jude Children’s Research Hospital have discovered more genetic proof that anti-viral treatments won’t help certain people: “…elevated nasal levels of the cytokines MCP-3 and interferon alpha 2 (IFNa2) and elevated blood levels of interleukin 10 (IL-10) at diagnosis predicted more severe symptoms later. Increased blood levels of IL-10 and MCP-3, as well as interleukin-6, at diagnosis predicted hospitalization later. MCP-3 and IFNa2 promote inflammation. IL-10 suppresses inflammation. Elevated IL-10 levels often signal that the body is trying to shut down the inflammatory response.”–Researchers Discover Immune Signature That Predicts Poor Outcome in Influenza Patients

Texas, U.S.A: A 46 years old woman, in Denton, died after fighting H1N1 for more than a month.  On 07 February 2014, Webb County officials reported that since the middle of January they provided more than 650 free flu shots.

Utah, U.S.A.: A five months old baby died from H1N1.  Officials say she was too young to get the flu shot. Her mother said H1N1 is not a normal flu: “She just started breathing not like a baby or anybody I have ever seen breathe…..From the 20 minutes when they called the life flight team to the time they got there she crashed…Her lungs hemorrhaged…..”-Michelle Villalobos

 

Influenza

Influenza: More proof vaccines are a waste; 60 years old man never had flu shot until 2009 yet never got sick with flu, and the 2009 vaccine had no effect on him!

06 February 2014 (13:09 UTC-07 Tango)/05 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/17 Bahman 1392/07 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

“The blood donor in this study was born in 1947 and was infected with influenza several times in his childhood (possibly by H1N1 and H2N2) and in 1968 (probably by H3N2). For 41 years afterwards, he did not contract influenza, and he was never vaccinated against influenza………most of them [blood donor’s anti-bodies] neutralize not only H1N1 viruses but also H5N1 virus…..the products of long-lived memory B cells that were established before vaccination…we concluded that the sialic acid-binding pocket and its surrounding region on HA are immunogenically very potent and that virtually all of the B cells whose growth is newly induced and expanded by vaccination produce Abs that recognize these regions. We also concluded that when formalin-treated virus particles that are not alive are used as vaccine……..that the non-neutralizing epitope on HA, even if it exists, is immunologically impotent.”–Binding near the Sialic Acid-Binding Pocket and Neutralizing Both H1N1 and H5N1 Viruses

Doctors are mystified by a 60 years old man who swears he has not been sick with flu since he was 21 years old!  Back in 2009, for the first time in his life he decided to get a flu shot, because of all the increased flu cases and the paranoid propaganda by government health officials telling people to get the flu shot.

Doctors at the Fujita Health University, in Japan, decided to take samples of his blood.  They were shocked to find he had full antibody protection from most flus, even the latest H5N1 (bird flu) variant.  Why is this significant?  H5N1 has yet to hit Japan, so how can a Japanese man, who’s never been sick with flu in his adult life, and never gotten a flu shot, develop antibodies to the latest flu variants?

Also, they discovered that the man had no immune system boost when he finally got the flu shot in 2009. They concluded that the so called ‘dead’ influenza viruses in the vaccine failed to trigger (an epitope reaction, with your antibody’s partope) an immune system response (they deemed it “immunologically impotent“), meaning the man wasted his time getting vaccinated!

By the way, the same anti-body that fights off H5N1 can also fight off H1N1.

In a ‘oh snap I could’a had a V8’ moment Japanese doctors are now going to test other people to see if they already, naturally, have the ability to fight off influenza without a vaccine!

Influenza: H7N9 alarming health officials! U.S. stockpiles unproven H7N9 vaccine! H7N9 engineered to kill Chinese only?

06 February 2014 (00:29 UTC-07 Tango)/05 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/17 Bahman 1392/07 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Canada‘s Public Health Agency increases monitoring of H7N9 cases: “We’re very interested and watching very carefully what is going on in China.”-John Spika

China now hit with 310 H7N9 (bird flu) cases, 67 deaths.  Health officials from around the world continue to claim it is still not a true human to human virus, yet, out of 33400 poultry samples taken this 2013-14 flu season, only eight were positive for H7N9!  I pointed out similar discrepancies during the 2012-13 H7N9 outbreak. A new study points out that in the few human to human cases the only contact with H7N9 was with infected 1st blood relatives. In fact two of the latest H7N9 cases involves a woman and her five years old son. Guangxi health officials suspect the boy got H7N9 from his mother. In fact all the latest H7N9 cases in China involve family members.  In Hangzhou City a man his wife and daughter are all sick, and officials there suspect the man spread it to the others (the man died).  In other words, despite what government officials say the virus is on its way to becoming fully human to human.

I’ve read several articles claiming a study (released last year) revealed that H7N9 seems to go after Asian people who have the IFITM3 (interferon-induced transmembrane protein-3) gene!  Most Caucasians do not have the gene.   However, when I read the actual study there is no mention of H7N9, it was talking about H1N1!  Other researchers say the IFITM3 gene also makes you more susceptible to other flus like H7N9 and H5N1.

United States:  The Obama regime is stockpiling H7N9 vaccines!  Trials of H7N9 vaccine show that it takes several doses before it seems to work.

Vietnam: United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization warning of spread of H7N9 from China.

Influenza

Influenza: Tamiflu resistant H1N1 forces drug addicted Japan to try new drugs! Mexico hit hard despite massive vaccination program! Deaths skyrocket in California! ‘Mericans still confused about viruses vs bacteria! H1N1 hits Egypt!

06 February 2014 (23:38 UTC-07 Tango 05 February 2014)/05 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/17 Bahman 1392/07 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Alberta, Canada: The province has officially run out of vaccines! More than one million people vaccinated. So much for claims that not enough people are getting the flu shot!

British Colombia, Canada: 60 confirmed H1N1 cases in the Thompson Cariboo Shuswap.  BC’s Interior Health department said there’ve been at least three H1N1 deaths.  Health officials warned “The lab confirmed cases represent the tip of the iceberg when it comes to influenza activity.”

Northwest Territories, Canada: One H1N1 death, but health officials say overall flu cases have diminished. Note that the NWT is extremely cold, so much for the main streamer news media claiming flu is a cold weather bug.

Egypt:  Despite a screwed up pro-U.S. government, Egyptian health officials were finally able to reveal that 24 people have died from H1N1 in the past two months.  195 hospitalized.

Hungary, European Union: National Center for Epidemiology reports 14300 people with flu symptoms.

Mexico: Influenza deaths at 227 (209 are H1N1).  2214 confirmed cases of influenza.  21-million 500-thousand people have been vaccinated!  Apparently the flu shots government officials are so proud of aren’t working!  Officials continue to say the situation is “normal”!  However, President Enrique Peña Nieto has ordered the Ministry of Health to be more forthcoming in making data public!

Japan: Health officials are trying out a new anti-viral drug called favipiravir, or T-705.  This because the H1N1 in Japan is now resistant to Tamiful and Relenza.  Recently published studies out of Europe blame it on the overuse of prescription drugs in Japan.

California, U.S.A.:  Mendocino County reports three H1N1 deaths.  San Diego reports nine new flu deaths in the past week. Fresno County Public Health reports 14 H1N1 deaths, 31 people in ICU.  Sacramento County reports death toll now at 24, 91 people hospitalized.

Nevada, U.S.A.: Washoe County reports eight more H1N1 deaths. Hospitalizations are up, but don’t blame it on people not getting the flu shot!  Washoe County also reports lines of people waiting to get vaccinated!  I’ve asked this before: Is there a connection between the H1N1 outbreak and increased vaccinations? “Last year, out of the 814 laboratory cases that we had, none of them died. this year, we had eight who died.”-Randall Todd, Washoe County

Tennessee, U.S.A.: Officials with Hendersonville Christian Academy show their ignorance about H1N1.  Local news reports said the school was fighting H1N1 with an ozone generator.  It is designed to kill bacteria. H1N1 is a virus, not a bacteria, and is not likely to be affected by anything designed to take out bacteria!  You need to use a super intense ultraviolet light that literally fries all microbes, like many hospitals are starting to do.

Texas, U.S.A.: State health officials on alert as H1n1 deaths hit 35, most taking place in recent days.

A new study says “...study participants whose mothers were exposed [to influenza] had a significant 5.03-fold increased risk of bipolar disorder with psychotic features…”  If influenza can cause bipolar problems for the unborn, why not the flu vaccine?  After all, vaccines use the actual virus to theoretically force your body to develop immunity!

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.

Influenza

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.

Idaho, Influenza

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: 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.

Norovirus: More cruise lines hit! Connection to Autism? More schools shut down! Gummy Bears making people sick?

18 January 2014 (10:24 UTC-07 Tango)/16 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/28 Dey 1392/18 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

Ontario, Canada: The Sudbury and District Health Unit warned of increasing cases of Norwalk virus at day care centers.

United Kingdom: Multiple hospitals have wards closed due to vomiting bug.  They include Warwick (strange because on the same day there was a report saying restrictions had been lifted), Borders General Hospital, Dumfries Infirmary.

California, U.S.A.: Baywood Court Retirement Community reports an outbreak of severe gastrointestinal illness.  People are being told to stay in their rooms.  The dining hall is closed.

Florida, U.S.A: A Royal Caribbean cruise ship docked with at least 68 sick passengers and crew.

Louisiana, U.S.A.:  The U.S. FDA is warning that oysters from Copano Bay are giving people norovirus.  Remember the BP oil spill?

Oregon, U.S.A.: Rock Creek Elementary shut down after 100 kids and several staff got sick. Washington County Department of Health and Human Services suspects norovirus.  One parent lamented “I had them wash their hands. I don’t know of any realistic precautions you can take.”-Molly Brown

Virginia, U.S.A.:  Saint Francis Medical Center reports that at least 32 employees are sick. There are no reports that patients are sick, hospital officials blamed children without any proof.  The hospital is now using a ultra-violet light robot to sanitize rooms.

More and more studies concerning autism are making connections to gastrointestinal problems.  One study said 43% of their autistic subjects had GI problems. Researchers also made GI connections to families that have a history of anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorders.

Germany’s Haribo sugarless gummy bears are making people sick, at least that’s what self proclaimed victims are reporting on Amazon’s Customer Review page.  People are reporting gastrointestinal problems after eating just a handful of the bears.  One man admitted he ate one pound worth in one sitting, then suffered “Gastrointestinal Armageddon”.  Anybody remember those fat free cookies and chips, that acted like intense laxatives if you ate just a handful? Stay away from junk food that’s made with fake sugar, or fat substitutes.

The U.S. CDC says norovirus accounts for as many as 800 deaths in the United States, every year.

Norovirus (aka Norwalk Virus), is a surface contact bug, meaning you pick it up by touching or eating it.  It is not influenza and there is still no vaccine for fast evolving RNA norovirus.  The only ‘treatment’ is to keep the sick person hydrated.

Exotic anti-biotic soaps can’t kill norovirus, or any other virus for that matter, because anti-biotics are only for bacteria.  Despite that, even hand ‘sanitizers’ made with alcohol can’t totally get rid of norovirus.   Guess what apparently works?  According to the U.S. CDC old fashioned hand soap is best.  Consumer Reports says to leave the soap on your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds.  Also, in public restrooms use a paper towel to turn off the faucet and to open the door, do not touch surfaces with your bare hands after washing them.

Wash household surfaces with bleach.

The worse thing is that you can be infected and not have any symptoms.  An infected person can spread norovirus, yet not feel sick themselves. If you think you might be infected do not cook food for other people. People recovering from traditional symptoms of norovirus can continue spreading the bug for days after feeling better (some reports say weeks).
