Swine Flu news and updates thread, page 9

hisz.rsoe.hu... is up !!!! (but please, people... if it is your sheer volume of observers, try to avoid crashing it again, k? ....

OK.

New epidemic alert in Florida. - hisz.rsoe.hu...

It says 4 dead, 22 infected. This wasn't there before the site went down yesterday... What is this? False alert I am guessing, since this is the first I have seen of it. Still, curious.

Glad the site is back up!!! (For now, at least)


EDIT: Nevermind the Miami thing. A simple search shows a Meningitis outbreak... Unrelated to flu - www.upi.com...

I posted in the breaking news just now about the Florida thing, after much struggling with it.

www.abovetopsecret.com... Meningitis outbreak reported in Miami

The pattern of the outbreak is puzzling, Conte said, because those infected with the disease are scattered around Dade County. He said that the cluster is the first in the United States involving the W135 strain.

Figured ATS might find interest in that also... omg what is going on.

I was wondering if anyone knows whats goin on with the 'RSOE EDIS Emergency and Disaster Website' ? Its been down since last night.
Very strange considering whats happening.

A press release has just been made here in New Zealand.

I just read that report on another site, yes this is intmidating. It has already spread around the world. I think the average healthy person has not much to worry about, however most of the deaths have been young people, not children, elderly or sick. Scary.

Mexico's Health Secretary, Jose Cordova, said a total of 1,324 people had been admitted to hospital with suspected symptoms since 13 April and were being tested for the virus.

"In that same period, 81 deaths were recorded probably linked to the virus but only in 20 cases we have the laboratory tests to confirm it," he said.

news.bbc.co.uk...

So it seems it has been around for at least 12 days now. Incubation period?

the WHO said the virus had the potential to become a pandemic but it was too early to say whether that would happen.

Oh so it's still only 'a potential'... still nothing confirmed.. Just what the heck is going on here? is it or isn't it?
