Well its been 48 hours since I got my shot and I am feeling healthy again. I hate getting these things, the first day I had a headache and low grade fever and for most of today I had chills. Feel pretty normal now but I am very restless.

In 1918 the H1N1 epidemic swept America. In October 1918 195,000 died, the deadliest month in American history.

Think it's still called google, maybe known as nsa or simply the cloud now?

Not quite sure this fits here, but our daily rag just updated the death toll from H1N1 in our state this winter to 16.

[Subjectivist]

From the Toled Blade newspaper in Ohio,
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'M')ore than 85 people have been hospitalized since Nov. 11, and the H1N1 strain of the virus has re-emerged despite being included in the influenza vaccine this year. The number of hospitalizations is much higher than in previous years. Last year, there were 63 flu hospitalizations in Lucas County by Jan. 17; two years ago there were only 14.

There have also been four flu-related deaths in Lucas County and eight total in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.

“We have to keep this in perspective. We know some people are going to die of the flu every year. It’s always more gratefulness and luck that they didn’t. To be honest, in Ohio and in Lucas County we’ve been relatively fortunate in the severity of the flu outbreaks the past couple years,” Dr. Grossman said.

During the past two years, there were no confirmed deaths from the flu in Lucas County. There was one flu-related death in the 2010-2011 flu season, and in 2009-2010, the year of the H1N1 pandemic, there were four deaths.

Oregon’s flu season appears to be winding down, according to the state health department.

Over the last few weeks, hospitalizations from flu in Oregon have dropped-off from 115 a week to 23. At the same time, fewer people are turning up at local clinics with flu-like symptoms.

Doctor Ann Thomas of the Oregon Public Health Division says the geographic spread of the disease has decreased from widespread to regional.

“We’ll still see flu circulating for at least a few more weeks,” she said. “And of course there’s always sporadic cases after that. But I think the worst of it is over.”

Thomas says there is one caveat: that sometimes flu type B comes to the fore after flu type A dies off. This year it’s been the type A flu, H1N1, that has caused most of the hospitalizations.

"Researchers Warn of Potential for Swine Flu Pandemic"

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')ASHINGTON — Get ready to roll up your sleeves.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending against nasal-spray vaccines for the upcoming flu season, in which it expects to see a variant of 2009’s H1N1 virus.

And while Arizona is still about a month away from peak flu season, medical experts are advising residents to get vaccinated “sooner rather than later” to head off the virus.

“The best way to protect yourself from influenza is to get vaccinated,” said Jessica Rigler, branch chief for public health preparedness at the Arizona Department of Health Services.

Arizona had already confirmed 25 flu cases from six counties as of Nov. 26, according to the department, but Rigler said the peak influenza season for the state typically falls in the beginning of the year — January, February and March.

The CDC said that more than 131 million doses of flu vaccine have already been given from the

157 million to 168 million that manufacturers predict they will be able to produce this year. While nasal vaccines are still available, the CDC is recommending against their use this year because of questions about their effectiveness.

Kashmir is in the extreme north of India and if the outbreak spreads widely the dense population of the country would lead to a massive (on the modern scale) death toll. I actually think Ibons Predator is looking for these sorts of opportunity, densely crowded populations with no ability to effectively fight the disease including a large poorly fed underclass who are already ignored by authorities. Seems like a recipe for a large scale pandemic. Influenza is unfortunately easy to pass and hard to quarantine once it becomes established in the fall season and an outbreak can last up to nine months scything down victims day after day as it spreads. In countries like the USA/Canada the threat is lower because of our lower population density but we are by no means immune.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A') 45-year-old man died of H1N1 influenza while a pregnant woman is critical due to the same infection at the Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, even as experts fear spike in the cases amid government’s failure to make the testing and isolation facilities for such patients operational.

A source told Greater Kashmir that a man, aged 45, from Budgam district was brought to the SKIMS on October 19 and died four days later. “He suffered from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and was being treated at the surgical intensive care unit,” the source said. “He had tested positive for the H1N1 influenza during the course of treatment.”

Another patient, who has also tested positive for the flu, is a female in her 20s and is pregnant. She is being treated by anti-viral therapy, a doctor said on the condition of anonymity. “Her condition is very serious.”

Medical superintendent SKIMS, Dr S Amin Tabish confirmed that two patients who had tested positive for H1N1 influenza were admitted to the hospital. “We had a male H1N1 patient who died on Sunday morning. The female patient of H1N1 influenza is critical and we are putting in our best resources to save her,” he said.

He said that the hospital had adequate supplies of anti-viral drugs and testing was also available. “Our hospital is adequately equipped with rapid test kits,” he said.

In J&K, as per the Integrated Disease Surveillance Program, there have been 18 cases and three deaths attributed to H1N1 influenza this year (up to 15 October).

Although the influenza has already caused over 2,000 deaths across India this year, experts have predicted that influenza cases in Kashmir could rise as the state has “the same pattern as of Delhi, with no steps being taken to prepare for the expected inclemency.”

At SKIMS, over the past week, three patients, confirmed to have H1N1 influenza, have been admitted to general wards or common ICUs.

A doctor, wishing anonymity, said that although the institute claims to have an isolation ward for high infective cases such as H1N1 influenza, the facility is defunct for want of staff.

“We cannot house a patient in isolation if there is no staff designated for it. We are left with no option but to have them placed with other patients,” he said.

While the government in 2015 allocated Rs 5.63 crore to Government Medical College Srinagar for construction of a high-end lab for H1N1 influenza, the facility has still not been made fully functional at the Chest Diseases Hospital here.

Any news about the african swine fever? There was hype that all Chinese pigs are going to die to the virus and then there will be famine. I haven't heard anything about the virus for a long time. Has the virus been defeated?
