So we are told its all going away and cases are decreasing and the bad bad scare of a coming really nasty Pandemic in January and February was a misty delusion. Despite a severe lag in information and a massive effort to cover up the story- wrong.
There is a new strain, a new threat, and this one is nastier. And an effort to put the economy in front of the facts and preparation has all but buried the news. So.. a bit delayed.. after all great effort has gone to delaying it.. the news. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/20/swine-flu-mutation-new-st_n_365764.html . bloomberg.com: European public health officials are investigating a handful of swine flu infections in Norway and Wales in which the virus mutated to a form that's more severe or less sensitive to drug treatment. Five patients at a hospital in Wales contracted swine flu that
resisted treatment with Roche Holding AG's Tamiflu, and three more
infections are still being analyzed, the U.K. Health Protection Agency
said today. That was the beginning of December- and ever since the story has been suppressed. |

Bloggish Warning- I have included this for well- like the Twilight Zone - your consideration- we are working hard to find more stable links to support it. The one in the proceeding post does.
Ukraine plague / flu update 3 December 2009 (yesterday's numbers)
Thursday, December 3, 2009 - 09:46
< ="text/" ="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
The h1n1 or whatever is happening is now starting to get much more serious, we will describe later what is going on but for now lets just cover the latest numbers or statistics of those infected in Ukraine. As of yesterday, not today the number of people infected has jumped to 1 937 292, that is a massive jump in people infected and this is now cause for serious concern, not just in the Ukraine but the entire world especially in Belarus for now. Since yesterday 43 977 people got infected which means this is spreading faster, 116 982 People have been hospitalized because of this and 445 deaths have been recorded but we have reports that there are much more than just 445 deaths of this. As of now we still call it h1n1 although there are now reports of people's lungs BOILING. This is unheard of in the history of h1n1. The lungs go further than a temperature of 55 celsius causing it to basically melt thereby killing those infected. Comment: so there we were. The savage jaws of a coming real plague sweeping across Europe- and some doctors saying had reached the U.S. and suddenly- the strains of Sounds of Music and Mary Poppins in the official disease world. Don't worry- be happy. The vaccine is .. coming- It works (forget the thousands of page of side effects and a leaflet which said - don't give to pregnant women). Nope, very quietly people were getting poked and now the media swept by midnight stories of health reform and how very convenient a Viking scale storm is headed for us on Christmas day. Chilling winds-a cold front pushed by mega pressure- to turn our roads into ice rinks while we huddle around and watch our spinning power wheels as our heater whirrs to keep up. Is there a new strain? Meaner, tougher, and more drug resistant. Well, there was on December 3, with 1.7 million Ukranians almost locked in their homes sweeping across Europe. Did it.. just vanish. Looking at the black ball with the 8 on it- Signs point to no. It is still with us. Med. |

Misinformation 101a- flooding- what is flooding? Well in my own words - it is to put current date tags on old news. Then when search is down so many items come up top- that are horribly dated- the real current new is pushed off the stack- and so I did a current date news sweep and got this gem
Scientists Hasten to Find Vaccine to Stop New Flu StrainBy LAWRENCE K. ALTMANPublished: December 16, 1997With Hong Kong reporting two more cases of a new viral strain of influenza over the weekend, scientists are escalating efforts to develop a vaccine to avert a potential epidemic, United States health officials said yesterday.comment: now here's a winner. What exactly were scientist doing in 1997 trying to deal ith a new flu strain 8 years before our current Pandemic? Weren't we in SARS land then? Not quite. The 1998 Jupiter Scientific report The Hong Kong Chicken Virus begins "Will humanity be wiped out by a deadly disease? If one day a virus emerges that can be transmitted as easily as the common cold and that has a 100% mortality rate, the answer to the above question could be yes. It is not hard to imagine an AIDS-like disease that is transmitted through the air we breathe." Was this report speaking of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, otherwise know as SARS? According to Dr. Webster from St. Judes thorugh, in this same year, we had begun the march with factory animal farming to our current recombination (chicken,pig,human, bird) that would be the flu mutation. Why is this ancient garbage flooding my search engine? http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm According to CDC the storm is nearly past. We are past the problem. Only 6% or so of the specimens in the U.S. tested have flu. Question- which specimens are being tested? General populaton? Nonetheless, the big flu scare now dwindles to a Senate debate on health care and a nasty XMass blizzard. Last night at midnight I got a message from Brazil. And of course, without big news and whatever we will wait a few days and see .. but it is not over. Med |

H1N1 Swine Flu Mutation Responsible for Severe Illness "The mutation could be affecting the virus' ability to go deeper into the respiratory system, thus causing more serious illness," the Norwegian Institute of Public Health said in a statement. The mutated version of this H1N1 influenza is a mixture of swine, bird and human viruses and has killed at least 6,770 people globally, according to the latest update. Similar mutations have been found in H1N1 viruses circulating in several other countries, including the Ukraine, China, and here in the United States. Contradictory Reports from Government Officials and Doctors The World Health Organization (WHO) said that the mutation did not appear to be widespread in Norway and the virus in its mutated form remained sensitive to antiviral and pandemic vaccines. Although reports have been popping up all over the globe regarding the discovery of a Tamiflu resistant strain. Med |
