There are currently over 2000 confirmed cases. Are we in for a H1N1 Flu Pandemic?
There are now over 2000 confirmed cases of Swine Flu or H1N1 Flu cases. How many have not gone into the doctors to have their cases of H1N1 confirmed? Or how many have gone to the doctors and are waiting for their results? Is the number of H1N1 Flu cases going to go up? And if so, by how many?
Until there is a vaccination for the H1N1 virus, the only thing for us to do is to be vigil, and make sure that everything is sanitized.
I remember Swine Flu Epidemic of 1976. I was working part-time as an office clerk in an Archeticts firm. One of my favorite archeticts was a thirty-three year old male from Chile who came down sick with Swine Flu. He was out of work for a week. I personally,did not know why he was sick and at sixteen years of age it was the furthest thing from my mind. He came to work one day, he seemed fine and then the next day he wasn't at work. That is when I heard rumours of "Swine Flu" and how bad it was. A couple of days later I came in to work to do my shift, and I was told that he had died from the Swine Flu, and that as an office clerk I had to clean out his desk. When I look back on it now, I should have been given gloves before I touched his stuff.
That was my first and only experience with the Swine Flu. Nobody else in our office contacted it, or even died from it. It was an isolated incident. I had been vaccinated with a general flu vaccine, the previous year, so I do not know if that helped.
According to the Healthier Life more people died or were paralized because they developed Guillain-Barré Syndrome from the vaccine rather then from the Swine Flu that year..
The current Swine Flu is apparently a more brutal form of Swine Flu or H1N1 virus with different genetic strains of Bird and Swine flu in it. All we can do now is be viligent in how we deal with people in public, and how aware we are of the things that people touch in public.

There Are Now Over 2000 People Infected by H1N!. Who Will Be Next?
When it comes to the Swine Flu or H1N1 Flu, there is no age barrier. When the flu hit, it was usually the young or the old that died. With the H1N1 virus it knows no age barrier. It will even kill the healthy, that is why the flu really worries me. Even though I would consider myself a healthy male, I am just as vulnerable to death from this virus as the young and the old.If you are a concerned employer, you should be considering the purchase of the Go-Kit Flu and Infectious Diseases Protection Kit, Healthy Office Kit to Protect 25 People for a Typical Flu Season
for your employees. Each kit has the following:- The kit includes 100 Flu Pak
- 50 procedure masks
- 25 mercury-free thermometers and wallet card holders
- 100 pair of co-polymer gloves 3 tubs of Hard Surface Disinfectant Wipes
- 2 one liter bottles of hand sanitizing gel, and 50 One Step Hand & Hard Surface Sanitizing Wipes.
Remember the Bird Flu Panic?
I can not believe that I was really sucked in by this. I would not fish at my favorite trout fishing hole, because of all the Canadian Geese and their feces. There was no cases of Bird Flu in our small town, so I assume that my fear had no grounds. It seems that no matter how much Government money that went into a bird flu vaccine, there was no death from bird flu and I missed out on a fishing season.

More than 3,000 people a day die from Malaria - No panic?
We have to put this scare in prespective. In the US we have had one child who has returned from Mexico die.. We have had 80 some cases of Swine Flu in the US - all of them mild, and we have people in a state of hysteria and panic. Yet we have over 3000 people a day dying from Malaria. Why?
Is it because Malaria does not effect people close to home? Is it just one of those tropical disease, where a lot of third world people live? Is that why there is no urgency to find a vaccine for this disease.
Currently, we have a race on to find a the vaccine for the current Swine Flu epidemic. The federal and state government will spend millions for the successful vaccine, just like the tragic situation in1976.

Welcome to the Swine Flu Links.
I hope to provide you with the resources that will help you to better deal with the Swine Flu. I will be deliberately avoiding articles that the press uses to whip up hysteria and panic. It seems that the press has lost their journalistic integrity in some back alley somewhere, and is now more interested in creating as much hysteria as they can - for example the hysteria around the Bird Flu.

now. Cleanliness is Next to Godliness
According to the New York Times 90% of women wash their hands and 80% of men actually wash their hands. I think it is a lot lower than this. After you go to the washroom, you should wash your hands, but before you turn the tap off, you should use the towel that you dried your hands with to turn off the tap. This towel should also be used to open up the public doorknob.
There is also the problem of washing your hands after you touch the washroom door. This is where many of the people who have germs deposit their germs. You should also wash your hands after you touch a public doorknob! Or anywhere you have to touch anything public. Take one of these antiseptic soaps in your purse.

H1N1 Flu on Google
There are now over 2000 people with the H1N1 virus. I am starting to take it a little more seriously. Considering the fact that there is no vaccine, and that even healthy people can die from this virus. I have even curtailed a flight out west. I am not going to get onto an airplane with the prospect of even one person having the virus. I will not drive out there, because I have done it once, and did not enjoy the trip. So, I am staying in my office and playing in the garden during my vacation.

What to Watch for in Swine Flu
A voice of reason in a world of panic. I have some friend who are ready for valium because they are so anxiety ridden over this situation. I am concerned because as wrote in the first module I had a friend die in 1976 because of the Swine Flu. I know how quick it can hit, and kill a strong healthy man, but I am not going to panic yet. Watch this video, and see what the good doctor has to say. .
Be vigilant on swine flu
Dr. Todd Ellerin, chief of infectious diseases at South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, says people should be vigilant about the swine flu outbreaks in Mexico and five states in this country so far, but no one should panic. "We have tools in places that can help us," he said.

There is no reason to panic at this time. All we can do, is watch our hygiene. Wash frequently. If you feel it is time for the mask, wear it. It is better to be safe than sorry.

- I think everyone is panicking because it is inevitable a pandemic will wipe out a lot of people very soon...and can happen so easily. Everyone is just wondering if this is the one.
I think it will be worse than it is now, in a couple months instead of gone. unfortunately. :-(
