Tompkins County NY reports first confirmed case of Swine Flu 5/29/09
nl.newsbank.com...

Swine flu has reached Tompkins County, the health department confirmed Thursday. According to a notice posted on the Tompkins County Health Department Web site, the New York State Department of Health laboratory confirmed a case of Novel H1N1 Influenza in a Tompkins County adult. The unidentified person is recovering at home. County health officials would not give any other details, except to say the person had traveled to an area where there had been other confirmed cases, and had displayed many of the physical symptoms associated with the illness. H1N1 influenza has shown up in 19 counties across the state, including neighboring Cortland and Broome counties, but this is the first reported incident in Tompkins County. "We have been monitoring the situation all along through contact with schools, colleges, health care providers and Cayuga Medical Center," said public health director Alice Cole. "School districts have not been affected by this case and all remain open," she added. The health department said it will notify close contacts of the individual to educate them about Novel H1N1 influenza and to monitor them for signs of illness. Theresa Lyczko, public information officer for the health department, said officials were not terribly surprised that a case developed locally, as incidents have become increasingly prevalent across the state, and more cases could emerge. She said it is important that the public be diligent in their personal prevention efforts, and stay home for at least seven days if they show symptoms. "We know it's here, so we wanted to alert people. But it's mostly a monitoring situation," Lyczko said. "We are trying to reduce the spread. It's about prevention, urging people to wash their hands frequently and cover their mouths when they sneeze or cough." The symptoms of Novel H1N1 appear to be similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people with Novel H1N1 influenza have also reported diarrhea and vomiting. The World Health Organization announced on Tuesday that the global H1N1 case count is 12,954, in 46 countries, with 6,764 probable and confirmed cases in 48 states and the District of Columbia, including more than 300 hospitalizations. "People should remember that most of the cases of H1N1 have generally been mild, and that people have recovered by staying at home," Lyczko added.

Hopefully I fixed this to where you guys can get the info lol, sorry again.

Dept of Health: Swine Flu Vaccination Months Away...

"You need millions and trillions of chicken eggs, fertilized chicken eggs. The parts of the virus that basically our immune system would react to, they put it into the chicken eggs," Dr. Park said. "The fertilized chicken eggs help to reproduce billions and billions of these virus particles that they'll then package and repackage into vaccine."

"Vietnam has been monitoring the health of passengers arriving at its airports in a bid to detect swine flu. Earlier this month authorities in South Korea said a 22-year-old Vietnamese woman returning home from the US was infected with A(H1N1) and placed in quarantine while on a transit stop at Incheon.

Vietnam has the world's second-highest death toll from bird flu, at 56.

Preventing swine flu from infecting patients sick with the deadly H5N1 avian flu should be a top priority, especially in Asia, experts have said."

First local H1N1 dead?

A 29-year-old man died on Saturday after have being hospitalized the day before in San Salvador de Jujuy, Capitol of Jujuy province. The victim had all swine flu symptoms which led doctors to suspect the presence of the H1N1 A influenza virus in the patient.
These conclusions gained more credibility after finding out that the man had spent the previous days in Mendoza province in company of a group of Chileans who had said to be infected with the new virus. The victim used to work as a bus driver, sources informed.
The victim first entered the hospital on Thursday and was assisted with preventive first aid treatment and sent back home, but on Saturday he returned to the hospital in a worsened condition and doctors decided to hospitalize him.
The cause of the disease is yet to be confirmed. Samples were taken from the corpse and on their way to Buenos Aires to be tested at the Malbrán Institute, Pablo Sorias Hospital's Director Antonio Risso Patrón told reporters.
"Samples will be at Buenos Aires by today's afternoon and I´m positive that results may be Reddy for Tuesday or Wedenesday as the latest".
The governement of Jujuy released a restriction order to not allow visits to the patients hospitalized at Pablo Sorias Hospital.
.

SO now theres one dead in Buenos Aires.

Now the Health Protection Agency (HPA) has written to parents confirming of a further seven probable and 25 possible cases. www.telegraph.co.uk...

Baby’s death is 5th linked to flu in NY city.

A Bronx infant has become the fifth New Yorker suffering from swine flu to die, the boy’s family and an official close to his case told the Daily News yesterday. “I went in to check up on him, I turned him around and he was purple,” said his aunt, Jennifer Castellanos, 18. “He was a completely healthy baby.”

Man from Jujuy, Argentina death may be related to swine flu.
The Government satets it is not very probable that his death was linked to swine flu. Based on what they are saiing this, since all symptoms where related to swine flu and the man has been in contact with a swine flu infected in Chile?? I bet he will be tested and the government will lie, like it allways do.
He went to hospital and told to go home because his case was "mild". The next day after feeling worse, he returned to hospital and died a few hours later (cytokine storm?).

Aunque el viceministro de Salud, Carlos Soratti, consideró "poco probable" que un hombre hubiera muerto en Jujuy a raíz de la influenza A (H1N1), las autoridades sanitarias aguardarán a que "en las próximas horas" se conozcan los estudios realizados al cadáver de la víctima". El viceministro de Salud, además, desestimó que el hombre fallecido, que se desempeñaba como chofer de ómnibus de larga distancia, hubiera tenido contacto con un turista chileno que estuvo internado en un hospital mendocino ante la sospecha de padecer influenza A. Al día siguiente, el hombre "volvió a ingresar" al centro de salud y murió a las pocas horas, agregó Rizo Patrones.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles County public health officials have confirmed the first swine flu-related death in the county.

County Health Officer Dr. Jonathan Fielding said Monday the victim was a middle-aged woman who had health problems. She died in late May.

California has recorded 576 confirmed swine flu cases as of May 28.

The breakdown of the number of laboratory-confirmed cases by country is given in the following table and map.

Swine Flu Cases in Australia May Prompt Pandemic Call (Update1)
www.bloomberg.com...

June 1 (Bloomberg) -- Swine flu cases in Australia, doubling about every two days, may convince the World Health Organization to declare the first influenza pandemic in 41 years, said Raina MacIntyre, head of public health at the University of New South Wales.

Australia has 401 confirmed cases of the new H1N1 influenza strain, the Department of Health and Ageing in Canberra said in a statement today. The tally, the highest outside North America, has risen from 20 on May 25.

Victoria has 306 cases, up from 173 two days earlier, reflecting the spread of the virus within communities in the southeastern state. Evidence that swine flu has gained a foothold in Australia may compel WHO Director-General Margaret Chan to raise the pandemic alert to the highest of the agency’s six-step system, MacIntyre said in a telephone interview today.

“It must be fairly close to moving into phase 6,” said MacIntyre, who is also professor of infectious diseases epidemiology at the university in Sydney. “It’s clearly spreading in the community in Victoria.”

* A/H1N1 continues rapid spread... deaths fairly uncommon or seriously underreported

* "pre-existing conditions" phrase used as in the insurance business like a no-fault disclaimer

* emergence of Lujo deadly virus

* more bits & pieces word of "drop dead" syndrome... person in Thailand

* danger zones for possible reassortment of A/H1N1 with H1N5 bird flu... Indonesia, Egypt, Vietnam, other parts of Asia including China

* major theme in A/H1N1 news... a wait and see attitude

* WHO not saying much, especially about going to L6

* Australia hit hard... USA saturated with infections... difficult to determine seriousness due to control of medical community and news media, however, there is the prevalence of word that the virus will make several global waves and the one which is expected in the autumn months in the USA already claimed will be "nasty"

The newly announced fatalities mean that the CFR (death rate) has hardly shifted, and is 0.63% solidly x3 above 1957 and '68 #swineflu #h1n1

Cases outside the first wave infection areas are romping away now. US cases march on, while Mexico and Japan are cooling #swineflu #h1n1

however, the 5day moving average is now 2.3 times higher than the overall long-run average, so this is big time growth #swineflu #h1n1

A total of 2972 new cases were announced between CDC and WHO today. While huge, this is actually more chaotic reporting #swineflu #h1n1

I've updated the graphs at /cgoc47 and the updated spreadsheet is available for download with all the data #swineflu #h1n1
