Swine Flu Victim's Family Speaks

Posted: 8:47 pm EST November 30, 2009Updated: 9:09 am EST December 1, 2009

For days, 33-year-old Lisa Briggs had symptoms. She had chills, fatigue, spiking fevers -- but she didn't want to go to the hospital and leave her family."She didn't want to be in the hospital, away from the kids," said her husband, Chris Briggs.On Halloween night, Lisa, a mother of two, agreed to go to the hospital.After days in Wheeling Hospital, Lisa was life-flighted to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W. Va. Her condition was so bad she was quarantined in a glass room."She was in an isolation room. They did a wash-out of her lungs and she did test positive for swine flu," said Briggs.Doctors also discovered that Lisa had bacterial pneumonia. Doctors induced a coma after her condition deteriorated. Before she went under, her husband of 11 years came to her side."I just told her I loved her and to get better," said Briggs.She never regained consciousness."We saw them do CPR on her and everything," said BriggsOn Nov. 14 at 10:35 a.m., the doctor told Lisa's family she had passed."His exact words were, 'She played good ball, but the game was over'," said Briggs.Lisa and her husband had just bought a new house in Weirton, W. Va. She never lived in it. Now, her family fills the walls of their new home with lasting memories of her."She loved kids. Pretty much her life revolved around me, the kids and church," said Briggs.He said her only underlying medical condition was sleep apnea. It's unclear where she contracted the virus.

Since we live in West Virginia, this certainly struck home for my family. How close we were to losing both my wife and son seems to dull with time. That Saturday morning when they were both in bad shape- Skye had spiked a 104.5 temp and Bluebirds was above 102 their lungs were pretty filled up and their condition was going down. Without the Tamiflu we were able to get - on a Saturday- I personally think their odds would have been pretty bad for making it through if we had delayed until Monday to give them Tamiflu.

For the record, and to be clear - I am in direct opposition to several users who does not feel the current Pandemic is a great thread and that we have seen it mutate into a bad bleeder form which has reached the United States.

I have data from Utah I have yet to post- and IMHO- this next wave will race across the U.S. in the next 6 weeks. By February we will know most certainly.

Lisa, who has commented I feel really was quite succinct and on target. We are adults and have the skills to make up our minds after data is presented to us as to the gravity of the situation.

I think it will be bad.

Others feel it will be less than seasonal flu.

This last mutation is grim. We are getting our news about a month to two months from some of the major countries and even government sites. In May in New York when I quoted health officials as to their being 500,000 cases - I was hit hard by skeptics. There were that many cases.

A constant critic of the untested (surely not enough testing) vaccine in which no real studies proving it even works on the current strain of virus infecting our hole country- is suspect. It contains some nasty enough ingredients whole countries won't take it and at the same time recommending pregnant women take it- it clearly has warnings on the inserts saying it should not be given to pregnant women.

So, I would say, as when I was in Hyde Park, London, and we had our soap boxes on Speaker's Corner- it is let the listener beware.

It is my sincere feeling that it is gravely dangerous to underestimate this virus and that doing so will cost many lives. We are also looking at some almost biblical events coming in 2010. Forget about 2012- 2010 will be the turning point in our history in the U.S.A. for all us, our economy, foreign policy with a reasonable chance of multiple terrorist attacks, and a possible World War III over nuclear Iran.

Prepare. For sure, one way you are going to need food, water, and medicine. Power grids will fail, we will be attacked by home grown terrorists and this meek little virus is killing people as a bleeder now it has mutated. In one form it melts organs in the body causing bleeding at every orifice equivalent to Ebola.

Once upon a time I was in Mazatlan getting ready to step on a plane for Durango. This is a true story. I had a kind of Malaria thing going with a 105 temp and needed to get out of Mazatlan, Mexico. My wife was irrate because I could not step on the plane. Would not get in it.

Finally, she said slumping tired and sick into a chair alright John- whatever. We will wait for the next flight.

An hour later the plane we were booked on was hit by wind shear on landing- then came in to the airport sideways- crashed and blewup. Everyone on board died.

I feel now what I felt then.

Something is just not right and no amount of coaxing or whatever is going to convince me there is no danger.

Not if but when- the Pandemic came. Not if but when, a mutation has occured similar to the 1918 one that made the H1N1 deadly and a killer. People are saying it is not important. Brazil got it and had more dead people than any other country in the world during a  peak period.

So, yes, I have my little doom t-shirt and think we are heading the one of the worst Pandemics we have ever known.

If I am right- we must make every effort to prepare and take this new bleeder strain dead serious.

Something just doesn't beel right. We can get all dial a psychic and back three generations my family had - well this thing for having dreams about the future.

I have seen a nuclear blast and series of bad bad epidemics hit us hard.

This is one I want to be wrong about.

The mutation has hit Utah.

I have a very long night ahead following and tracking the spread of hte mutation in the wrold and America.

This is not a flame, You almost died twice in one hour? That's some scary stuff. 105 Fever for an adult (105 degrees F is usually considered the heat-stroke level, where brain damage can occur) and you missed the flight at the bottom of the stairs. An hour later the plane you were just about to board crashed and blew-up and Everyone on board died?

You my friend have 9 lives!

I wish you the best of health.

BTW: My Brother Crashed in one of his planes twice. Once when his instructor was flying his Cessna A152 Aerobat and it stalled after a 300 foot climb takeoff. I guess theres a spot where you can't recover and that was the altitude. The plane came down on the runway and had $14,000 in damage back in 1980's Dollars. They were not hurt.

The second time he was flying to his Cabin in Big Bear at night around 8,000-10,000 feet and the wings iced up in a storm. He was already close to the planes celling altitude with the weight and the shears and extra ice weight forced him to plow up a field.

I try to avoid flying with him :)

Yea Tech. The whatever we had was because we forgot you can't drink ice either in a fun little drink of jungle juice (local alcohol and jungle fruit juice)-it still has the bacteria in it-bad water. If you go to Mexico drink soda and bottled water. The story of course has a very Left Behind feeling to it- I guess we should have been stalked by we should have died shadowy things- but it was simply a bizarre event. I don't like planes- I am not as bad as William Shatner (you are always asking for humor) in Nightmare at 40,000 feet- but its close.

This whole flu season is messed up. It is not following the classic curves and that is because the last one never stopped.

My two unfavorite ER stories are John Ritter and Henson (Muppets). They go into ER- not that bad off and all this weird stuff happens and despite their millions they die.

My biggest concern with this whole low key CFR deal on Swine is that - it is gonna go renagade and rear up its little mutant teeth and prove that H5N1 was just a warmup.
We may have a real beast on our hands.

IMHO we may have several.

Time will certainly spell out the truth on this one.

Med

Its about time Technologist woke up to himself and stop posting inane attacks on Med . The stupidity of Tech remarks are an insult to the persons who are trying to keep abreast of the situation. Technologist please keep your silly comments to yourself . Your post are detracting from the eccence of the topic.

Does anyone know what happened to the 'unfortunate accident' that Baxter produced? The 72 kilos of Bird flu mixed with human flu that was sent out for vaccines? Was it destroyed or just given back to them?
 

 I think it was real.  But I don't know what happened to the vaccines.  Seems that when a story like that surfaces it's made to fade away very quickly.  But I will look to see if maybe I can find something.

My aplogies to everyone, seems I messed up some how in posting this info.  Sorry for this.

EMP scares the hell out of me..that is a very big threat.

 

 

 

Our small research group is continuing to track the path of what may be a H1N1 mutation which occurred in the Ukraine by natural or unnatural means-spread through Europe and may now be in the United States.

My tip off on this was a doctor who contacted me from Florida on a Dengue Outbreak which happened outside of the Dengue Fever period and worse 21-34 death. After contacting a reporter for Channel 8 news in Iowa who had interviewed a coroner who found "black bloody lungs" from patients not diagnosed with flu- it seems this outbreak in Iowa is spreading.

That story- and the almost vapor trail of trying pin down a serious menace which the mainstream and most of the net is oblivious to, is quite a challenge. I have received mail, even death threats of sorts to back off on this. I have been told that people in high government agencies have been told to stay clear of the whole issue.

Lori was picking up stuff on November 21, 2009 and then the data flow stopped. Since I monotior Twitter and other get around the spin sources including frowned upon blogs- the news even stopped here. In the middle of a spreading outbreak all across Europe which had jumped to Norway, Finland, and finally and secretly- to China and Hong Kong- no one was talk.

I got on the phone last night and went back to the outbreak in Iowa. I figured,  this strain - it is actually a variant - and here are three ways to go.

One path has been laid by WHO, who after CDC has flatly denied the H1N1 virus had mutated, watched as WHO announced it had. In fact, China announced it had- so did Hong Kong and Norway- in fact almost a dozen countries.

The problem. Our new vaccine might not be effective against the the new strain. I received a communication from an old female friend with family happily declaring that yes, that horrible dreaded flu had finally hit their children, they were given and "in 24 hours" they were almost over it.

I did not not have the heart  to tell of the growing resistant strains of the flu which in perhaps not that long will make it as resistant to our vaccine and espeically Tamiflu all together. It took about 6 years for seasonal flu to snub Tamiflu. Tamiflu is not an efficient treatment for seasonal flu and posting article after article- this did not shake the rock bed write a script save a child - today- but perhaps not againt a new form- of Black Lung Flu which may with a vengeance in January and February.

.gov will in no way be able to cope with a flu which has anything over 4% CFR. All plans in place will fail, and if at the same time, we are having trouble with our nearly untested vaccine which simply was not tested enough and is not reliable.

But moving back to our theme- the variant- the mutation that I seem to be one of the few- except for one carrying the D225G banner as an illuminata. The fact is, I have other information this may be a recombination- at last there definitely has been in bird to make it more likely to move to people and mutate.

The Iowa outbreak is spreading - two more people died and 700 more are infected.

When it happens, and it very well may- we will be in 2010- in a national situation making us a prime target for rogue nations and terrorists.

Then and much too late the alarms will go off for .gov and its 11,000,000 will migrate to sanctuary while those on the surface find hospitals closed and fedreal services and maybe even power and most stores closed.

I am not the only one to see this coming. A depression, civil unrest which troops are drilling for to deal with a huge outcry from American public. When the change does not come. When promises are not kept and when the public somehow becomes a triage items that is not worth the resources to give decent health care to those over 60.

Yet our core- is to find the almost unfindable. An outbreak of a strain that is not even acknowledged. I followed the Chernobyl rad count until it hjt over Califronia and they just stopped countng. And now- except in a very congusing way-based on who searches for flu on Google and what they want to release- the public knows almost nothing about the real pciture on Swine Flu. The graphs and numbers on the main sites are so far off the actual disease count as to be meaningless. We probably have from 30 to 40 million people infected either currently or chronically. And yes- you can get the flu more than once - and you also can carry it, spread it, and from it for months.

So- we can go back to don't worry be happy- it is gone- the vaccine is coming- the is a script on every pad and Tamiflu will save the day.

Last night I got a report from the Ukraine the situation there is stilll bad. It was from an individual-not media- like the first report I put up a the female Photographer holed up in her apartment, barred from leavng her city, in quarntine.

Autopsies from Russian doctors Kiev, there are films, but we will never get them out of Russia or putting them up on net, would end the story - everything is fine.

Everything is not fine.

And quite honest with no flu at all, considering the decisions and policies in admin about to happen you will still need a Survival Manual and here wlill still be one to help you.

We will nail this mutation and over 7 others- which has led us to China, Hong Kong and Japan. Its not over.
