Swine flu party

So Will people be able to skip taking the Vaccine from China if they had the flu already? Interesting.

PS look to Hong Kong numbers to double overnight.

WOW! I logged in to get the latest H1N1 info and just looked through the last 2 pages only to find that most of the the posts are reporting more deaths.

Last time I looked there were minimal deaths although the flu was still spreading quite rapidly. Are the amount of deaths increasing?

I'll go and read back a few more pages to catch up a bit more but from the last 2 pages but from pg 203 and 204 it appears as if there are more deaths being reported.

33 new cases of swine flu confirmed in Manitoba as system feels stress

SWINE FLU: Extra staff to work at St. Boniface General Hospital to deal with sick in intensive care units

As 33 new confirmed cases of the H1N1 influenza virus in Manitoba were announced yesterday, officials work to manage stresses on the health system.

Last Wednesday, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority started moving elective surgeries from St. Boniface General Hospital to the Victoria General Hospital to allow extra staff for the intensive care units treating patients with severe influenza.

"It's so we can free up staff in the recovery room area if the intensive care nurses are not enough, because they have a similar skill set," said Jan Currie, vice-president and chief nursing officer for the WRHA. "Staff at Victoria, because they have smaller numbers of influenza cases, aren't in that situation."

The new cases bring the total in the province to 152.

Manitoba's chief medical officer of health, Dr. Joel Kettner, said one to three new cases per day of serious influenza-like illness are requiring admission to hospital intensive care units. He said suspected serious flu-like illness should be treated quickly.

Where? I'm guessing Quebec as that's where the 3 newest cases since June 15th have been.

The Public Health Agency is the #1 source for Canadian swine flu statistics. That's where all the media sources & WHO get their info from for updated confirmed Canadian statistics. There's a chart with all the intel. They update it every Monday, Wednesday and Friday @ 4pm (EDT). I posted the link. Here it is again though.
