Pandemic Flu Preparedness:
LESSONS FROM THE FRONTLINES

Strategic National Stockpile and Vaccine Development Recommendations:
1. Maintaining the Strategic National Stockpile -- making sure enough antiviral medications, vaccinations,
and equipment are available to protect Americans, which includes replenishing the stockpile
when medications and supplies are used;
2. Vaccine development and production -- enhancing the biomedical research and development
abilities of the United States to rapidly develop and produce a vaccine; and
3. Vaccinating all Americans -- ensuring that all Americans would be able to be inoculated in a short period
of time.

But do the latest fatalites (courtesy of Hx3) suggest the start of a new trend, of course when and if info. is available/accurate?

New swine flu deaths reported in 6 states

MILWAUKEE – Health officials in a half dozen states reported deaths from swine flu on Thursday, and said all six patients had been diagnosed with other health problems


An adult living in Milwaukee became Wisconsin's first resident to die with the H1N1 virus. City Health Commissioner Bevan Baker would not release any details except to say that the person had a common underlying health condition that he would not specify.

Pennsylvania also reported its first death from the illness. The 55-year-old Berks County woman who died with the flu had significant underlying health issues, a health department spokeswoman said.

In Illinois, a 74-year-old man from Gurnee died Tuesday, according to the Lake County Health Department. Officials said he had significant medical conditions that increased his vulnerability.

Officials in California said a 9-year-old Concord girl had been diagnosed with swine flu and had a bacterial infection before she died May 29. The patient who died in Utah also was under 18, according to Gary Edwards, executive director of the Salt Lake Valley Health Department.

In Arizona, a 64-year-old woman living in Pinal County became the fifth person in the state to die from complications of swine flu, authorities said. The woman had underlying health conditions and was being treated for pneumonia at the time of her death last week, health officials said.

Appears that at the most, only 2/6 are in that 30-60 age group?

reply to post by Aeons


This is totally speculation on my part, but with most K-12 public schools dismissing students for this summer break last week, this week or next week does it seem like the number of cases *reported* are rising this week?

In other words, "they" couldn't afford to demand schools close too extensively or for too long back in April/May...so limited/delayed reporting at that time. Now, the children are going to be out of school anyway so just let the facts/stories flow now?

Could be a false correlation on my part, but just seems very strange to me--much like eveything else surrounding this virus

I can guarantee you that the secondary infection the 9 year old here in California had was bacterial bronchitis. Most of the people I know have friends or family who have had it and are having a heck of a time making it go away.
After I got the flu and it went away I had it come back at 21 day interval's; with the last time being REALLY BAD I had to go to the ER because I couldn't breathe at all.(bacterial bronchitis yet again!! after only 24 hours of coughing mind you;May 9th)
I haven't gotten another wave and it was going on 21 day interval's so am assuming it is over.

Good News! Especially for you and your family!

Passed on from a tip...
Why was the Navy ready for a pandemic flu back in January?

The Navy is prepared to deal with pandemic influenza, an epidemic of infectious flu, if an outbreak happens. That's the message by Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet, Adm. Robert F. Willard in his latest Rat-Pac Report podcast, posted Jan. 28.

"The U.S. Pacific Fleet is part of a broader joint and combined effort to be prepared to deal with a pandemic flu outbreak," Willard said. "Our medical researchers continue to study the prevention of this and the response strategies associated with this."

"The Bureau of Medicine has been very helpful in this regard and, in the meantime, we in the Pacific Fleet will be on guard and prepared to help should a pandemic influenza ever occur," Willard said.

"Back in 1918, a worldwide (influenza) epidemic was started in an Army camp in Kansas and moved east," said Willard. "Sailors in Philadelphia and Boston died by the hundreds; millions of people died worldwide within weeks.

"This is not to frighten you but to illustrate how dangerous a pandemic influenza strain that we are unfamiliar with could be for the world, let alone the nation."

I just noticed from your avatar/profile that you are from CA; I am too


You are talking about 21 day intervals--when did you get the 1st round?

I am convinced that my family experienced it beginning in mid-March (very severe) and like you, we have had it "come back" on us a couple of times since, but in much milder forms than what you describe.

I am interested in when you had the first round, and if this was lurking here in Cali prior to the beginning of April time-frame that the officials speak of. We were never tested or treated...did you get a diagnosis ever?

Many thanks in advance for your response...and hope you stay healthy

Bay Area records first death tied to swine flu
Erin Allday,Henry K. Lee, Chronicle Staff Writers

Friday, June 5, 2009
(06-04) 14:37 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- A 9-year-old Concord girl who died last week had the swine flu, making her the first Bay Area death connected to the new virus, public health officials announced Thursday.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karen Perez, a fourth-grader at El Monte Elementary School in Concord, was otherwise healthy with no known medical conditions that would complicate her recovery, according to Contra Costa County school and health officials.

She died May 29 but the state wasn't able to confirm that she had swine flu until Wednesday. She had a secondary bacterial infection and officials haven't yet determined whether her death was the result of swine flu, said Dr. Wendel Brunner, Contra Costa County's Public Health director.
...
"Tragically, in this case, this child did not recover," Brunner said during a news conference Thursday.

They can't call underlying/chronic conditions on this one...

While not "scientific" nor "confirmed by TPTB," I believe that these ATS members' accounts are sadly worthwhile for this thread (via posts of xoxostacie, Aeons, and others)

- a healthy woman (after spending time in Mexico) suffers a stroke during yoga...and dies...

- a healthy 40-year old man (after traveling) is found dead in his car--COD: heart attack; but evidence of vomiting blood is also present.

Please use this link for more info., if interested: www.abovetopsecret.com...

Wishing y'all the very best of health during these very strange times--

Possible flu outbreak sweeps Police Department

MADISON HEIGHTS — At least 15 officers at the Madison Heights Police Department have either called in sick or exhibited flu-like symptoms since May 26, including one who tested positive for influenza A, of which the H1N1 “swine flu” is a possible strain.

Another officer’s health worsened to the point that he was airlifted from Henry Ford Macomb Hospital in Clinton Township to the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor, where he was in serious condition as of press time.

According to Sgt. Richard Lochbiler of the Madison Heights Police Department, the number of sick officers surged over a three-day period from May 26-28 and continued throughout the week.

“They didn’t all call in sick, but they all have flu-like symptoms. Respiratory infections, colds, body aches, chills, fevers,” said Lochbiler. “The severity varied per person. You might have some person with body aches or cold, a 24-hour deal, then they’re back and fine.”

“Myself, I was given antibiotics right away, and I took a vacation day off to get away. Then after three days I just have a sinus infection lingering, I’m still on antibiotics, and it should be gone in day,” he added
