Within minutes, six-year-old Rubjit Thindal went from happily chatting in the back seat of the car to collapsing and dying in her father's arms.
"If we had known it was so serious, we would have called 911,'' Kuldip Thindal, Rubjit's distraught mother, said in Punjabi yesterday. "She just had a stomach ache -- she wasn't even crying.''
Rubjit was pronounced dead at hospital barely 24 hours after showing signs of a fever. Later, doctors told her parents she had the H1N1 influenza virus. She is believed to be the youngest person in Canada with the virus to have died.

Post 1546 with links showed that alot of children had no pre- exisiting conditions .
There was a 2nd grader who died from the H1N1 with no conditions reported recently too...
I didn’t declare that 50 kids died that is what the CDC website report said.
This is found on the CDC website .
Why do you think they have it on there ????
This is death rates, just for children who died from the flu, not for adults:
During the 2003-04 season, 153 flu-associated deaths in children were reported to CDC. (This data was collected by CDC.)
During the 2004-05 season, 47 deaths in children were reported to CDC. (This is the first year that influenza mortality in children became a nationally reportable condition.)
During the 2005-06 season, 46 deaths in children were reported to CDC.
During the 2006-07 season, 76 deaths in children were reported to CDC.
As of June 14, 2008, 83 deaths in children occurring during the 2007-08 season have been reported to CDC

Flu Deaths in Children
Flu-associated deaths in children (defined as persons aged 18 years and younger) first became a nationally notifiable condition during the 2004-05 flu season and are reported through the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). The number of flu-associated deaths among children reported during the 2007-08 flu season can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/fluactivity.htm.

Influenza death reported in Tulsa County
Tulsa Health Department officials have confirmed that a Tulsa County resident under the age of 18 has died from influenza A.
Further laboratory tests will be needed to confirm if the influenza A strain is H1N1 (swine) flu. It is not known at this time if the child had any underlying health conditions.
“The tragic loss of a child in our community is a reminder of how important it is to continue working on ways to prevent further spread of influenza. My deepest sympathies are offered to the child’s family,” stated Interim Director Reggie Ivey.
LOL, shut down disagreements, eh? Resort to slanderous labelling, silencing, whatever works, eh? Just like they want to do with the vaccines - exactly the same totalitarian mindset: take it, or off ya go.
For the record, I think TWO things are bogus - the safety of the vaccines, and the actual danger of the swine flu itself. And I think that people who hype the flu (using inflammatory pseudologic and semi-science) yet refuse to admit that their hype serves no purpose but to scare people into taking a dangerous vaccine are either naively disingenuous, or liars.
And, as you have resorted to slander, aggression (through the same type of over-the-top hype you're using to hype the flu itself), and an attempt at silencing me altogether, guess which one I think you are?

He is the first victim in city; Collector asks people not to panic
Doctors of private hospital refuse to treat patient after he tests positive
Ward-wise household surveillance programmes planned in association with GVMC
VISAKHAPATNAM: A manager in the Steel Melting Shop (SMS) of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant died of swine flu at the Government Hospital for Chest Diseases here on Friday. This is the first case of death due to swine flu in the city.
Karri Venkata Jagadeeswara Rao, 39, of Muralinagar, was first admitted to the Hospital for Chest Diseases with severe breathlessness at 12.40 p.m. on September 30. District Medical and Health Officer J. Sarojini said that medical tests were conducted and treatment was started immediately.
The same night at 8 p.m., relatives of the patient insisted on shifting him to a private hospital for treatment against the advice of doctors. Dr. Sarojini said that a declaration was taken from the relatives that the hospital wouldn’t be responsible if anything untoward happened.
On Thursday evening, the medical tests confirmed that the patient was afflicted with swine flu. He was against sent to the Government Hospital for Chest Diseases and re-admitted around 9 p.m. on Thursday.
He failed to respond to the treatment and died during the early hours of Friday.
Meanwhile, it’s learnt there that doctors of the private hospital, who had first admitted the patient and put him on a ventilator, refused to treat him further after knowing that the patient had tested positive for swine flu.
They insisted on his being shifted to the Chest Hospital on the plea that other patients in the ward would be affected.
Confirmed case
District Collector J. Syamala Rao said that it was a confirmed case of swine flu. On the action to be initiated against the private hospital for refusing treatment after the patient tested positive for swine flu, the Collector said that he was yet to get a report on what was the reason for refusing treatment.
Mr. Syamala Rao appealed to the people not to panic but to go for early treatment.
He felt that the death could have been avoided if the patient had taken treatment early.
Screening centres
There were eight screening centres for swine flu in the city and ward-wise household surveillance programmes were planned in association with the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC).

http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/qld-hospital-staff-first-to-get-flu-jabs-20090930-gbu0.html
Staff at one of Queensland’s biggest hospitals have been among the first to be vaccinated for human swine flu.
Premier Anna Bligh on Wednesday visited Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital where up to 700 staff will be vaccinated each day.
Human swine flu has killed 179 Australians, including 40 in Queensland.
Ms Bligh said vaccinating health care workers would ensure hospitals could be staffed if a “second wave” of the pandemic hit.

Washing hands no help
Fri, October 2, 2009
The bug is more easily transmitted through airborne particles than through hand contact
By ELIZABETH THOMPSON, SUN MEDIA NATIONAL BUREAU
OTTAWA — Washing your hands might not be as effective as people think in fighting the H1N1 flu virus, an article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal suggests.

Mom:
From your link:
http://www.exodus2006.com/Fab3/swine-flu2.htm
I was checking out the Israeli website "codes in the Torah" today, and I noticed they found the same Swine Flu codes that I found which are all located in the same passage in the Book of Numbers, check out (translated from the Hebrew with Google "Language Tools", it's barely understandable though):
I revisited this code, and found the following additional terms:
"In your nose/nostril, Smith manufactured" (the initial search term was "manufactured/made/produced", i.e. as opposed to natural, see:
http://www.russiatoday.ru/Top_News/2009-04-28/Swine_flu_is_manmade_virus.html), it was the fourth minimal skip in the Torah, the lowest skip being also located in the same matrix. Without the "tav" at the end of "Smith".
It could also read "In your nose/nostril. Manufactured is my poison/toxin/drug".
"Mexico" (lowest skip as well, most of the terms in this matrix are at their minimal or near-minimal skip in the Torah)
Also, I did a Google search for the terms "Swine Flu" and "Smith", and here is what I found:
http://www.updown.com/Swine-flu-will-boost-Glaxo-Smith-Kline-(GSK)/stock-tip/26147
GSK better known as Glaxo Smith Kline is the producer of a flu vaccine called Relenza. Recent news reports that in Mexico, there is an outbreak of the swine flu which is a virus transported usually in pigs. The virus has mutated and is now affecting many people in mexico as well as in the U.S., and other places. Roche and GSK are the two companies who produce the vaccination for this type of flu. The more news we hear about the swine flu, the more people will start to look to their doctors for Relenza or the other vaccine. This will in turn drive major sales to Glaxo Smith Kline and be posting profits for their bottom line. Their is only a limited amount of the vaccine available and the swine flu is spreading and has the potential to be a full blown epidemic if not contained right away. Swine flu is a major disease that is fatal, and hopefully GSK will help to put it to an end with their vaccine Relenza.
THANKS THANKS.
Though . . . I don’t know how to remove the fuzziness.
Shrinking doesn’t seem to help much.
