Chandigarh: Bad news for those who got themselves vaccinated against swine flu for the season as this will provide little protection against the present strain of the virus, which has changed, claim experts. In the absence of this protective guard, the doctors are apprehensive of the rise in the cases this year. Already the city has seen 20 cases in a span of 15 days, including four deaths.
...
The first death due to the H1N1 was reported on July 20 when 42-year-old Sham Verma of Sector 37 died at the PGIMER due to H1N1. The second case was reported on July 25 when a 60-year-old woman from Maloya died after contracting swine flu. On July 31, the third case was of Sector 34 police post head constable Jasbir Singh. He was 56 years old and a resident of Sector 26. The cop was hospitalized at the Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32, where he died.

It’s freak out about hurricanes season. Freak out about on flus season is October/November. These doctors need to learn their calendar.
It’s Sharknado season.
Seriously I nearly died from this H1N1 years ago. It’s when I started taking vitamin D3 religiously. Double pneumonia in three days???? Never was that sick ever, before or since. Major antibiotics saved my life.
If that strain is coming back, or a new variant of it, may I suggest to my FReeper friends who weigh 120 or more, take 5000 IU daily of D3 as soon as you are no longer bathed in the summer sun. September, whenever. At the very least you will get a lesser case of it. At best, your friends and coworkers might get it and you, exposed, won’t.
Interesting.

“Uh, sir, it’s Homer Simpson from Sector 7-G”.
Just cuz, irony...
It was like, I was well on Sunday, Sunday night feeling a bit achy, a tiny sore throat... Monday wake up with high fever, sick as dog til Weds can’t really breathe, Thurs dx’ed with double pneumonia and my x Ray looked to the doctor like I was terminal with lung cancer. He asked if I smoked, and I told him never. He said if you said yes, we would have a serious problem. And made me come back for another once I was well, and the lungs were fine.
I thank H1N1 for waking me up to true vitamin prevention.
Yes...what you day...our doc says keep your Vit D3 Levels around 70-80...I also quit shaking hands...I’ll bump elbows, give a hug, but not shake hands...kept me well for 5 years
day s/b say
Your doc is one of the good ones.
I attribute my decades of freedom from infectious disease to not being around any children. The little buggers are walking vectors.
Dr. Jonathan Wright, MD, ND. Tahoma Clinic...one of the best...teaches, does research etc...hates the Feds (they raided his offices one time and cost him at least 100K to fight them.) He actually only sees men now (my husband is a patient...I had to switch...course if I were Suzanne Somers he’d see me!
Ha...yes...but sometimes such sweet “vectors”
I avoid them as much as possible.

General pointers about influenza.
1) Optimal spread through coughing and sneezing happens at 40F (4.4C) and low humidity. At higher temperatures and humidity, its spread is much more reliant on physical contact contamination.
2) If you are out in public during a flu epidemic, you can significantly protect yourself by using hand sanitizer six times a day. If there is visible contamination, clean with soap and water first. If contact surfaces are a problem, a pump bottle atomizer with 70% rubbing alcohol is effective.
3) Ear loop masks will not protect you from contaminated air. They are used by people with the flu to reduce the contamination they spread when they cough or sneeze. If you must be in a heavily contaminated indoor small area, you need an N95 respirator mask, safety glasses or goggles, and medical gloves.
4) In enclosed areas with sick people, open windows are far more effective in cycling in “fresh air” and eliminating bad air, than are closed loop air conditioners.
5) There are germicidal ultraviolet lights both to sanitize air and for immersion into water. There are also “cold plasma” hand sanitizers that can clean hands in just 10 seconds.
