COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Health officials in Ohio say a 20-year-old pregnant woman has died of swine flu.
The woman's baby was delivered prior to her death Thursday at a Columbus hospital, and officials say the baby is doing well. No other details about the woman were released....
...Through Aug. 27, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 556 swine flu deaths in the U.S. and 8,800 hospitalizations
Ping!
How horrible for this poor woman, her child, and her (I hope) husband.
Flus that attack the healthy and strong are worrisome. Maniacal governments looking to take advantage of not-too-unusual health events are terrifying.
That’s unfortunate, but I’m sure the WH will find this an ideal opportunity to try to incite panic over pig flu again, and perhaps quarantine all conservatives in the country.
Also, keep up with other H1N1 update stories on this thread: H1N1 flu victim collapsed on way to hospital [Latest H1N1 updates downthread] thanks to DvdMom and others.
Dreadful. RIP.
I wonder if she had any co-morbidities?
RIP.
So sad and so unnecessary.
The CDC knew this flu was coming a long time ago. They could have had the vaccine ready by now. France and other countries have it already.
Another miserable failure by the Obama Administration.
