You might be scratching your head asking why did Obama call for a state of emergency. It seems cases of the virus have increased significantly just after they released the nasal spray with the live virus in it. Let me break this down for you a total of 3556 cases in California since April, that is an average of 592 cases per month. Out of those cases 233 people have died from the virus. I am not going to do the exact math, but that is in the range of 7-8% death ratio. Just under 1 in 10 people who get the virus die from it. This week alone California has had a staggering 505 cases. From my math that is over 4 times the rate of cases we have experienced since April, which is a significant increase. Why in just over the past week has this grown so rapidly? I feel like I'm the movie 12 monkeys. Please help me Bruce Willis!

I will do the exact math for you.
233/3556 = 6.5%, not 7-8%.
6.55%, actually
Since the first case started in MEXICO we should have closed the borders to begin with! But, in this politically correct world we don’t want to hurt anyone’s ‘feelings’! We would rather have our country infected with whatever those ILLEGALS bring over!

Hi- I have great news for you! You are not reading those CDC statistics correctly and that is understandable because CDC is not being very clear with the public.
The only cases CDC or the State of California tests for swine flu since July are those who have been admitted to the hospital (3556 cases in California). Of those people in the hospital who had swine flu, 233 ended up dying of swine flu.
They don’t test the general population for the swine flu so they don’t know how many people have gotten it for sure (the incidence rate in the general population). But the death rate would be much, much lower if we used general population incident data for swine flu rather than just the hospitalized population with swine flu.
Take care and don’t worry.
When SARS was the Plague that was going to Kill Us All in 2003 a couple of doctors went to a village in Turkey where a few cases were reported and several deaths. They found that almost the whole populoation had antibodies and most everyone had reported a little discomfort. The killer plague was obviously far more widespread and far less lethal than any of the Government and NGO reports claimed which were most likely just seeking far higher levels of funding and control. My wife and I have been taking Vitamin D since August and for the first time in 33 years she has NOT brought home the regnant flu strain from the school where she teaches.
Actually "dying with swine flu might be more accurate. It is an important distinction. how many died of MRSA or the like after they went to the hospital with swine flu?
thanks, Pythagorus. lol
This is true.
they stopped testing in July, as they cannot do not have enough kits or resources to test specifically for this strain of flu.
They can test for influenza but that doesn’t tell what strain.
Everything, including my overactive bout with acne is now considered Swine Flu.
Damn that George Bush. It’s his fault.
Yep, that is true.
you mean like “lie” down or “lay” down?
or is it short lived as opposed to short lived?
Subtle difference but then again I say egg while other ehgg. lol
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.
Hmmmm
Welcome to FR.
Quit pimping your blog. That’s not what FR is all about.
The difference is the number who die of something else but get their demise atributed to H1N1 because they had H1N1. That happens a lot, especially when there is a need to pad the statistics.
So you joined FR yesterday. And you admit to deserting the military after two years, because you didn’t support the mission? And now you’re pimping your blog?
I suspect you’re a DU’er, posing as a FR’er.
Just calling it like I see it.
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson was on Hannity’s Great American Panel the other day and he said something like, “Let’s call it what it is: the Illegal Immigrant Flu.” Sean quickly changed the subject.
This fellow has read the data incorrectly. It is totally wrong.
