I read that, as well- and the people who are or were ill work for Vogue, Glamour, and other publiations- as well as those who broadcast on air.

I do like a good copy of Vogue mag here and there, but ALL mail we receive gets a good dose of Lysol first.

If (as seems to be the case, as we've both read the reports about this) the flu has inflitrated those offices, we can expect massive spread- the number of models, photogs, producers, etc., as well as TV guests going through that building is enormous. They then go onto other shows, sets, etc., and spread, away.

Did anyone see Katie Couric on The Daily Show last Week? Sick as a dog and didn't cancer her appearance. When does common sense take over and people take resposibility for themselves and STAY HOME????????????

If I were Stewart I'd have cancelled her- especially as she's interviewed all of the gov. staff members in the US- many of whom are or have been ill!!!!! FlyersFan brought it up on another thread- brilliantly, I thought- talking about people sneezing and couging all over the produce at the store. The base selfishness of people amazes me- but the show must go on, eh? Why not make announcements- like, "we were going to have X person on tonight but, as they weren't feeling great, we've asked them to come back in a week or two?" I wonder how many lives that could save.....

FF- I was SO angry at Couric for what she did my husband and I both called and emailed The Daily Show and Couric's people.

What a crap example to set for the rest of the world- it made me vilely furious!!!!!!!!

And this is not a minor threat- I'm sorry- as you've said for months- and I agere with you every time- this is real. Get with the program, people!

Very interesting that we're discussing RBC aggregation from a mutation on the hemmaglutin glycoprotien, and that aggregated RBCs can lead to emboli. Soficrow's friend died of a rare blod clot thrown during yoga. A young woman in yoga-shape having an embolism or thombolitic stroke? Why did she throw a clot?

Could this new strain have already reached farther than we know- and coul it have been the source for Sofi's friend's passing?

To add to my prior post:

www.cnsnews.com...

Some of the most recent victims were young and seemingly healthy, according to newspaper reports. They include an 8-year-old boy from Oak Forest, Ill., who died on Saturday; and a 20-year-old woman from Escondido, Calif., who died Monday, two days after the onset of flu symptoms

FlyersFan- I added the story to your ran thread (which was outstanding). i hope it helped.

And you're right about EGO- I can't understand why- in this era of "understanding" science and contagion, poeple STILL feel personally offended if someone "blames' them for being sick. It's not about you- the individual- it's about what you're carrying around, that you should keep to yourself!
God knows if I'm sick i stay home out of consideration- and not just work, but grocery stores, etc. If I need to go to the pharmacy, I TELL them I'm sick, go throug the drive through window and tell them to use Purell on my bank card when I pay. It's called courtesy....and now, more than ever, we need people to stop being to damned selfish and self-quarantine when ill. It could save millions....

Thanks for the thread, FF.

Be well,

C

You're not kidding- Bloomberg in NY and CDC have reported at least 550,000 New Yorkers are either sick or have been exposed.
Extrapolate that out and it would seem to me that everyone on the planet has been exposed- or nearly all of us.

Question now: who will fight itoff and who won't?

Scary numbers for late June

As far as I can tell, you're correct. If the S. American lethality rate occurs globally we'll see numbers not unlike 1918- yet so many seem to think it's negligable- I don't comprehend the laissez-faire attitude about this. We'll see- and I hope those of us who do take it seriously are ready- because those who don't will find thmeselves wondering why Starbucks and McDonald's and the grocery stores are closed, suddenly, and there are refrigerated trucks removing bodies..

Following the Hong Kong health department announcing last Friday that it had confirmed a case of H1N1 that’s resistant to the antiviral Tamiflu, and the disclosures that patients in Denmark and Japan whose H1N1 infections also did not respond to the drug, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Tuesday it does not appear that there’s widespread strain of Tamiflu resistant H1N1 moving through the human population.

"At this point we are not recommending any clinical changes to the approach in treating patients," said WHO Acting Assistant Director-General Keiji Fukuda, who added that, "right now these examples of oseltamivir resistance remain sporadic cases. We do not see any evidence of widespread movement of oseltamivir resistant viruses," he told reporters at a briefing on the matter.

Fukuda said authorities believe the Tamiflu-resistant viruses were the result of isolated mutations and not a reassortment or combination with other influenza strains as virologists have feared.

Indeed. As the H1N1 flu virus has begun to spread through the southern hemisphere during this region’s winter months, there have been growing concerns that the virus might comingle with other seasonal virus known to have strong resistance to Tamiflu – and some of the other antivirals – as well as the deadly and frequent antiviral resistant H5N1 influenza that has an extraordinarily high mortality rate.

WHO spokesperson Dick Thompson said the latest persons to express resistance to Tamiflu appear to be “isolated cases,” saying “at this time, there is no public health implication. But we must remain alert as the virus can change at any time and we must not be complacent.”
