Have you also noticed that states that were still allowing numbers of deaths to be released quit at the same time they were given millions from the federal government to fight swine flu. Ive noticed this connection but have not seen any reports from media about it yet.

Yes, I have! I think that has everything to to do with the CDC being controlled by the media. Now that the health Czar Besser is joining ABC we can see the coordinated effort by TPTB. Puppet strings...go way up!

Canada swine flu deaths reach 62

VANCOUVER -- Another death in British Columbia from the H1N1 flu virus has pushed the total number of swine-flu deaths in Canada to 62.

The Public Health Agency of Canada says there was another confirmed case in B.C. some time between July 30 and Aug. 4, bringing the provincial total to three.

B.C. officials have not released any details about the three victims.

The most recent died in the Fraser Health Region in Metro Vancouver.

A seven-year-old Fraser Valley boy who died in mid-July was the province's first recorded victim of the virus.

Projections: Up to 160 Lee County residents will die from H1N1 swine flu

If state health projections hold true, some 160 Lee County residents and 5,000 Floridians will die from the swine flu in the next 18 months to two years, the average life cycle of a pandemic.

That’s twice as many deaths as Lee County sees in a typical flu season.
But that’s because the infection rate from seasonal flu is expected to be much higher — some 30 percent to 40 percent of the population, compared to the 5 percent to 20 percent who fall sick from seasonal influenza. Swine flu, or H1N1 influenza, is a novel virus — that means it’s a strain that hasn’t circulated before and people don’t have the immunity to it that they might other strains.

“I think we do have to be more vigilant than we would in the past,” said Jennifer James-Mesloh, the Lee County Health Department spokeswoman. “We don’t know if this virus is going to change on us. We don’t know if it’s going to mutate.”

She says that not to spark public panic, but to remind people that they can take steps to prevent flu — frequent handwashing, staying home when sick, getting vaccinated when the inoculations become available this fall.

“We have to think of precautionary measures,” James-Mesloh said. “This is really a proactive personal responsibility.”

So far, two Lee County men, both in their 50s have died from the flu.
