Europe urges citizens to avoid U.S. and Mexico travel As of Monday afternoon, more than 1,600 people in 17 states across Mexico were believed to have been sickened by the virus. Officials in Mexico City, where the outbreak is centered, had already canceled hundreds of public events and closed many public venues. They have urged people with possible symptoms — headache, cough, sore throat, nausea, fever, dizziness — to stay home. The flu as also 6 confirmed cases in Canada. |

Oh my God. The flu??? *PANIC* I would advise that travel advice, regardless. It's pretty crappy over here right now anyways. Plus, there is a chance, and it is a rather small chance, but it's there... You might have an intestinal reaction if you eat something that is not properly cooked. Authorities have advised hungry people to have a ham sandwich instead of going down to 7-11 for a Jalapeno Taquito. |

DON'T CALL IT SWINE FLU, FARMERS COMPLAIN Pork producers and hog farmers around the world say they are being sideswiped by the swine flu outbreak and many want the name of the disease changed to “North American flu.” On Tuesday, roughly a dozen countries joined Russia and China in banning imports of pork products from parts of the United States, Mexico and elsewhere. South Korea and Ukraine have banned all pork and live hogs from North America, and Indonesia is destroying products already brought in. Meanwhile, hog prices have fallen steadily since Monday and the share price of food giants Smithfield Foods Inc., [SFD-N] Tyson Foods Inc. [TSN-N] and Maple Leaf Foods Inc. [MFI-T] dropped as much as 12 per cent Monday before recovering somewhat Tuesday. While Canada has been spared the brunt of the trade action so far, many hog farmers here are worried consumers will stop eating pork. Canada exports about 1 million tonnes of pork products annually, mainly to the U.S. and Japan. 'It’s important to convey the message that consuming pork will not cause this illness,' the U.S. Agriculture Secretary says. “It's obviously a concern, it's a big concern,” said Clare Schlegel a hog farmer near Kitchener, Ont. “We want accurate information out there.” A variety of organizations including the Canadian Pork Council, American Meat Institute and World Organization for Animal Health, or OIE, have called on health officials to drop the “swine flu” name. They argue the pork industry is being unfairly linked to the illness. “There are serous misunderstandings which the general public in countries around the world have acquired about the role of pork meat in the transfer of the virus, simply because it is being referred to as swine flu,” Canadian Pork Council President Jurgen Preugschas said in a letter Tuesday to federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq. “It is not justified to name this disease swine influenza,” said Bernard Vallat, head of the Paris-based OIE. “In the past, many human influenza epidemics with animal origin have been named using their geographic name, e.g., Spanish influenza or Asiatic influenza, thus it would be logical to call the disease ‘North-American influenza'.” So far, the World Health Organization has rejected the idea, saying Tuesday that it plans to stick with “swine flu.” But U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said he is considering using another name. “This is not a food-borne crisis,” Mr. Vilsack said. “It's important to not refer to swine flu. It's important to convey the message that consuming pork will not cause this illness.” European Union officials have suggested calling the disease “novel flu.” Linda Smith, a spokeswoman for Toronto-based Maple Leaf, said the company has not seen a significant impact on sales, but it supports the name change “so there is no misunderstanding about the link to pork or animal health in Canada,” she said. Health officials have said repeatedly said the virus cannot be caught by eating pork. Some are now saying it isn't even clear the illness originated in pigs, and contains a mix of avian, swine and human viral genes. “As regards to this virus, it should be called something else,” Anthony Fauci, a director at the U.S. National Institutes of Health told reporters. Much of the Canadian pork industry was already in tough shape before the swine flu outbreak. Hog prices had fallen so steeply the federal government offered to pay farmers $50-million last year to slaughter as many as 150,000 breeding swine. That program and a falling Canadian dollar have helped, but most farmers are still operating at a loss because of the high price of corn and soy meal, which are used in feed. Feed accounts for about 60 per cent of production costs. The typical break-even point for hog farmers is about $1.60 per kilogram. Prices have been hovering around $1.30 per kg.

Over 150 casualties in Mexico and now the first child dead in the USA. Maybe we won't make jokes much longer. "WASHINGTON - Officials confirmed the death of a 23-month-old child in Texas from the new strain of swine flu on Wednesday, the first fatality from the condition reported outside Mexico. Dr. Richard Besser, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, confirmed the fatality during an interview with NBC News." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30471035/ |
| magicalfreddiemercury 29.04.2009 09:10 |
The thing about the deaths - as heartbreaking as they may be - is that hundreds of people die weekly of regular flu during flu season but those numbers are not announced for fear of starting a panic. And yet, with this new strain of flu, they cycle information about new cases and deaths on all the 24-hour news channels. Any new (or old) illness we can't treat is a tragedy. Any death or hospitalization from the illness is sad and frightening. Thing is, at this point, hundreds of people - mainly high school aged kids - have had it and have recovered. If they'd tell us the real numbers - which they've still not done regarding the high school here in NY - then maybe we could put it all in perspective. Instead, they'd prefer to keep everyone frightened and tuned in to the latest news on the subject. It's just wrong on so many levels. |

the word to watch out for on these media reports/news bulletins is the word 'potential'.they use it every time. everything and everyone has the 'potential' to be something or someone,whether it does is another thing altogether. its only a couple of years ago that the world was gonna end due to a 'potential' bird flu pandemic,what happened? a few dead swans in Dorset and mass hysteria by the media.a few weeks later and its all old news and the world carried on as usual.give it a month and i believe it will be the same will happen with this thing,the summer heat [if we get a summer] will kill the lurgi off. plus there is a vaccine available so its easily curable,carry on as normal folks but if you do start sneezing a few days after meeting El Gringo from El Paso get in contact with a GP just to be sure. right,now ive put the world to right,im off to the pub for a beer and a packet of pork scratchings...Arrrribbbaaaa! |

True, the information should be honest and should be delivered in a calm manner. Media hysteria is not helpful at all. It's also true that each year tens of thousands of people die of other strains of influenza. Still, there are some issues to be considered: -This H1N1virus actually spread from animals to human and causes human-to-human infection. This was always the fear about the bird flu where it did not really happen on larger scale as far as we know. From what we know this virus contains DNA from human, pigs and birds and has many possibilities to spread. - In "usual" influenza epidemics weak, old and ill people die from the disease while younger and stronger people usually do not die from an influenza. Each year we get new vaccines, so we all can protect ourselves from being infected by getting an annual flu shot. Right now there is no vaccine for the new H1N1 virus and it will take months to develop one. Plus this virus kills young and strong people. - Nobody knows why the virus is so aggressive in Mexico and the disease is much "milder" in other countries. It's possible that there have been many mild cases in Mexico which went unnoticed because many people do not see a doctor when they assume they have only a cold. Fact is that nobody knows why the virus killed these people. Also, we do not know if the virus can be successfully treated with Tamiflu, we have to wait and see. It's normal that the WHO is worried when there is a potentially lethal virus and nobody knows if an effective medication is available. |

It's sad indeed. I hope the health-care system in Mexico, as well as the authorities there, act with knowledge and sensitivity to prevent the problem from getting worse. I think it's important to strike a balance between effective action to control the disease and sensitivity to calm down the population as much as possible by providing accurate information and material support whenever needed. |

Though one can't get Swine Flu by eating well cooked pork, what about when handling it raw? All the farmers? By the way, the US Government is acting fishy lately, like damn trout. I woke up to the sound of two fighter jets , that were flying low enough that I could see in their damn windows. Loud son-ah-bitches... it was even on the news. Miltiary said "The exercise was training for situations in which fighters need to intercept unidentified or unresponsive aircraft." Har har har. link Swine Flu is in Maine and Massachusetts and could hit New Hampshire next, and most likely will. It's a problem. Hopefully everyone on Queenzone and all their familes will be safe and not catch this terrible virus. link |

I am totally calm and I do not care if the child was American or Mexican - it's just sad when a small child dies of an influenza. I am sure that an effective vaccine will be developed, so this infection won't kill half of the population but for me there is no reason to joke about it. Millions of people won't have a flu shot because they are poor and it's not provided for everybody in all countries. In countries where flu shots are available and free many people do not get one because they are misinformed or too careless to see a doctor. Many people still believe that an illness like influenza helps the body to get stronger and more resisitant towards other diseases which is rubbish. Bacterial and viral infections are just as dangerous for most people on this planet as wars and violence - see HIV and Ebola. Much more money and international cooperation is needed to win the "war on microbes". |

I'm a huge hypochondriac, and I'm not worried. This is possibly because my hypochondria is currently assuring me that I've got Leukemia, therefore Swine Flu seems a bit... less important, or it might be because it'sjust another one of those public hysteria things that never comes to much. I've panicked about every one of those big news illnesses, SARS, Anthrax, Smallpox, Bird Flu, all for bloody nothing. Therefore, I shall not allow myself to worry about getting Swine Flu. I shall just worry about the altogether more terrifying illnesses, such as brain tumours, Leukemia and MS. *checks self for bruises* |

They are closing a whole school district near here Friday. Some kids in the area went on a trip to Cancun and contracted swine flu. I don't get why they are closing all the schools in the district, though, because the ones that are sick went to a private school. OTT, if you ask me. |

Two more cases in New Hampshire. The first case which I wrote about above, the person had no contact with anyone from Mexico, nor do they know how they got it. Authorities confirmed that's the truth! Also, with Tamiflu, it does NOT make the Swine Flu go away, it just relives the victim of SOME of the symptoms, and I imagine it doesn't work with everyone. |

Oinkment. Very funny, Joxer. Actually made me chuckle this morning. :-) Re. the conversation above... People are indeed getting better. The media is making this into much more than it is. It's a new strain of flu. Simple. And flu - in any form - can be life-threatening. This flu is no different from any other strain without a vaccine. Hundreds of people die each month from the "regular" flu - that's thousands of people every year. We have to stop panicking and acting like this flu is going to wipe out half the population. Use some common sense. Wash your hands often, cover your mouth when you cough/sneeze, avoid others who are sick, and if you feel ill, hope you don't get hit by a bus on your way to the doctor. |

Swine flu finally hit my town of only 6,000 people. Won't release the name though, and the child of the person is being tested as well. |
