The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently confirmed the Ohio Department of Health reported a human infection with a novel influenza A virus.
On August 26, 2022, the CDC stated this is the second patient infected with an H1N2v virus reported in the USA in 2022.
And is the fifth human infection with variant influenza A viruses this year, including three H3N2v (West Virginia) and two H1N2v (Ohio, Oregon) viruses.
According to the CDC, there are different swine influenza virus subtypes and strains, some of which infect other animals but rarely humans.
The Ohio patient is a minor, was not hospitalized, and has recovered from their illness.
An investigation by Ohio officials found that the patient had attended an agricultural fair on the day of their illness onset.
The additional investigation did not identify respiratory illness in any of the patient's household contacts.
And no person-to-person transmission of A(H1N2)v virus associated with this patient has been identified.
The CDC says, 'Early identification and investigation of human infections with novel influenza A viruses are critical so that the risk of infection can be understood, and appropriate public health measures can be taken.'
Most human infections with variant influenza viruses occur following close proximity to swine at a farm or social event.
The first swine influenza virus was classified in pigs in 1918.
As of August 28, 2022, the U.S. FDA has not approved a preventive vaccine targeted against swine flu, nor is the annual flu shot clinically effective against an H1N2v virus.

If Louis Farakahn gets Swine Flu, is he a bad Muslim?
Any excuse for masks, lockdowns, mail in ballots, and stolen elections. Our Nation is toast.
When they come for me, they best mind the piles of red-hot brass....
Has faunocchio called for a lockdown yet? 🔬😷🚫💉💊
I posted the other day about the high prices at the Ky State fair we went to 2 days ago.
What I didn’t mention is an official warned the grand boys not to pet the pigs in cages as swine flu was a remote possibility.
Now I know what he was talking about.
This is why you shouldn’t watch the view or the Rachel Madcow Comedy Hour.
If that was the case; that those pigs on display at the State Fair may have the Pig Flu Virus, then those animals should have been kept further away from people. If there was no room to keep the pigs further away, then by all means, tell people the possible danger. I know most state fair livestock displays are usually very jam pack crowded. I used to go to the one in Detroit, Mi with my own Dad.
Ping.
Ping.
Ok, so now we know the real reason for the government starting to pivot away from Covid last week because there’s a new virus to stoke up fears coming in it’s place.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.
Oh? It’s now OK to have West Virginia Flu, Ohio Flu, and Oregon Flu? But we can’t have WuHuFlu?
Racists!
Here we go again. MonkeySwineCovid Flu incoming.
One of my fondest memories as a kid, was being in the greasy pig contest at the county fair.
5 people got swine flu? That is about the same number that got swine flu in 1976 during the Jimmy Carter flu panic! More people died standing in line for the shot than died of the flu.
And when one man finally came down with it, the news media swamped him!
You mean the Gerald Ford flu panic, one of the reasons he lost to Carter.
The Swine Flu vaccine laid me up for a week.
The Anthrax Vaccine put me in ICU for a week.
The COVID vaccine put me back in the ICU.
I can tolerate some vaccines, but I’ll never take those three again.
You are correct Ford was still President.
The current issue of ‘GRIT’ magazine was in my mailbox, yesterday. It is predicting some dire times ahead for the pork industry. :(
