[click image]Dr. Frieden cautioned that the Health Department’s case counts do not reflect the city-wide infections since the Health Department is not recommending or offering H1N1 testing for people with mild flu symptoms. Confirming an H1N1 infection is not necessary except for those who have more severe illness since most people will recover on their own and do not need to take medicine for flu. In addition, not all people with influenza infection have symptoms – as many as a third may not. It is possible that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of New Yorkers have already encountered the new virus but experienced only mild symptoms. In a survey released last Friday, the agency identified more than 1,000 likely cases among students, staff and household members associated with the St. Francis Preparatory School in Queens. The survey is available online at www.nyc.gov/html/doh/downloads/pdf/cd/h1n1_stfrancis_survey.pdf.WTF is anyone looking at the stats for then? The total number of cases anybody felt like reporting? So, we do have a whopper of a pandemic from the filth and abjection brewed in the NAFTA zone, but you don't want anyone thinking that one factory farm infected the whole world?
You scum.

Huh?
No new cases to check out?
.
Total creep-out! PLENTY of new cases to investigate, but they aren't "investigating" them unless the symptoms are deemed "severe". Creep out, creep out, creep out! New influenza. Either sometimes fatal, or formerly fatal and may have mutated, and THEY'RE NOT CHECKING OUT EVERY CASE THEY CAN POSSIBLY FIND. I'm so creeped out I want off world.
ReplyDeleteIt's a big because it was a slow news month. I had this almost 6 weeks ago. It wasn't fun and it took about 4 weeks to feel better. I'm just now back to working out. My 85yr old Mom got it but it wasn't bad, a couple days later she was better. It nailed me but what was interesting was if you had the flu in the late 50s this was basic bug.

Are you one of our confirmed cases, Jo? Or, suffering from the bad one going around before this one that may actually have been this one before it was recognized as this one? Or are you just talking the regular flu that wasn't this never seen before strain?
ReplyDeleteI'm chuffed for a number of reasons, but foremost among them is that there was a lot of racket out there about the severity of this thing before anyone decided to make it news. NONE of the numbers they've bandied about since making it news reflect the huge numbers from before. Those I thought were all from Mexico, but I know grocery clerks clear up here were griping about this awful flu that just wouldn't let go, here, in March. So. Anyway, are you confirmed or suspect or completely under the radar?
