Canada, Vancouver Island: Six Cases of Influenza A (H1N1) Confirmed.

Behind the Scenes: Navy Researchers Helped Spot Swine Flu in the United States

The first case, a 10-year-old DOD dependent, was identified in a trial to evaluate a novel influenza diagnostic. On 1 April, a swab sample from the patient was tested on the diagnostic platform. The result suggested an influenza A but subtype negative virus. Our screening questionnaire deemed the patient at low-risk for an avian influenza infection. Per the study protocol, a second specimen was sent to a third-party lab in Wisconsin. This laboratory, along with the state laboratory, confirmed the influenza A/un-typed finding. The specimen and an isolated virus were then sent to the CDC for confirmation. The CDC determined the virus was an influenza A/swine/H1N1.

The second case, a 9-year-old female from Brawley, California, was sampled in the collaborative study with the CDC’s Border Infectious Disease Surveillance Project. What was thought to be a routine specimen was sent to our laboratory the first week in April. Our initial testing demonstrated an influenza A/untyped virus. Further testing on the Ibis T5000 platform, which infers H and N types from multiple genomic signatures, suggested an influenza A/swine/H1 virus. [Although most tests rely on known DNA sequence or antibodies to identify influenza isolates, the Ibis T5000 has a mass spectrometer and can identify unknown subtypes.] This was right about the time we received word from CDC about the first case. At that point we knew we were onto something significant. The CDC subsequently confirmed an influenza A/swine/H1N1 virus

50 amphib sailors have flu symptoms

One sailor on the ship was confirmed to have the virus, also called H1N1, and 50 other crew members are exhibiting flu-like symptoms, said Cmdr. Cappy Surette, a Navy spokesman at the Pentagon. It was not immediately clear if the 50 sailors have been confirmed as having a “novel virus” such as H1NI, as opposed to seasonal flu.

THe Navy is in the frontline on swine flu. 10-year-old DOD dependent son of someone in the military in other words. Followed by Navy ship with 50 sick on board one CDC confirmed H1N1 case. I guess when it comes to being in the field the CDC has to depend on the military to get the samples.

I see they aren't taking any chances, the only thing they've left exposed is their eyes.

They sure didn't take any precautions like that at my dotor's office, they didn't even have gloves on.

I don't understand what's going on here, first they were making such a big thing about it and now they've stopped testing except in extreme cases, they're telling the schools not to close

This is what we were told by the school yesterday about the way they are supposed to handle it now. If a child comes to school with a fever they are to be sent home and can not return for seven days, preschoolers can not return for ten days, but yet the numbers are going up

Something aint right here

reply to post by chise61


Seems that way...so strange. Lets get serious...they will still pull a jet off of it's travel route, call a CDC investigation team, ground the plane, pull off the sick, quarentine them...but kids can go to school?

This is a weird set of discrepencies! For sure!

How does that match with this story just hit the web not more that 5 minutes ago?
