The H1N1 flu pandemic is spreading more slowly across Minnesota, but the number of deaths continues to mount.
State health officials announced today that three more Minnesotans have died from complications of the influenza strain, bringing to 15 the number who have succumbed to it.
In addition to the three H1N1 deaths confirmed last week, one other Minnesotan died from what the health department characterized as “unspecified-type influenza.”
The department did not release details about the victims or information about their underlying health conditions.
Last week, 137 schools reported flu outbreaks, which is down from the 288 that reported outbreaks a week earlier.
Those are schools where more than 5 percent of students were out sick.
For the first time, outbreaks were reported in long-term nursing care facilities, with two reporting that the disease has appeared.
Since September 1, the department has confirmed 980 hospitalizations because of the H1N1 strain. Since the strain was first identified in the state, 1,240 Minnesotans have been hospitalized.
Is flu spread after fever has subside?
Last update: November 3, 2009 - 6:38 PM
People may be able to spread swine flu even after their symptoms have subsided, said new research reported in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. A study of Air Force cadets who came down with the flu this summer found that a significant proportion of them were still “shedding” virus more than 24 hours after their fever and other symptoms had disappeared.
Authorities have been asking people to stay home for at least a day after their fevers subside. While viable virus does not necessarily mean the illness can be transmitted, the findings raise questions about whether the current recommendations are sufficient, the researchers say. However, Anne Schuchat of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says she believes the current plan is sound.
Why is this not all over the media? I’m very suprised frankly ...
My son just left here. He has heard nothing more from Igor. (Yes, that really is his name.) Igor is part of a small Jewish community in Kiev. He lived in this country for several years, so his English is excellent, but heavily accented. If I hear more, I’ll let you know.
