*WE* think that's why the Cali-Kids were given Anti-Histamines & Anti-Biotic's at the time they first came in...
*THEY* couldn't confirm it right off, but, suspected/knew what it was and were TRYING to keep their bodies from over reacting, kicking in the C-Storm, which leads to secondary/tertiary infections that lead to possible death...Hmmm...

They also have insane income disparity which does impact their care and access to medicine and alternative options.
Mortality still correlates to income level.
Although there have been drastic improvements in the region's economic conditions since the commission's founding, the ARC still listed 81 counties as "distressed" in 2008.[25]
In the 1960s, many people in Appalachia had a standard of living comparable to third world countries
Nevertheless, after 40 years poverty remains undefeated in Appalachia. Martin County, Kentucky, the site of Johnson’s 1964 speech, is currently ranked as "distressed" by the ARC. (Distressed is the worst ranking.) The per capita income in Martin County is $10,650, and 37% of its residents live below the poverty line.

The death of a woman in northern Alberta is the first confirmed death in Canada associated with swine flu, Alberta health officials said Friday.
The woman had chronic pre-existing health problems. She died on April 28.
"It is not clear to what extent H1N1 may or may not have contributed to her death and it may never be clear," said Dr. André Corriveau, Alberta's chief medical officer of health.
The cause of death at the time was linked to her existing medical condition, but she was tested for swine flu after another family member contracted a mild form of the illness.
Earlier reports indicated an elderly woman had died, but Corriveau said the woman was in her 30s.
