In the beginning the CDC was reluctant to the point of advising against laying a case, even a mortality directly at the H1N1 stoop if there were underlying existing conditions; now it seems, they have just reversed that position and instead are willing to blame deaths on H1N1 even when the secondary condition merely coexisted with the suspected infection with the virus.

Turns out to be a quadrupling of previous estimates and still no requirement for positive diagnosis.

There’s magic in them there numbers.

Yep, I was in ICU on a ventilator for over a week. Just now recovering somewhat. Had double pneumonia with it, too.

Glad you are okay but sorry for your loss.

Actually Mrs Clamper died of MRSA which got into her blood stream and destroyed her liver in 19 days. She was 39.

I don't know if it was the H1N1 or the pneumonia that almost got me. My BP dropped to 70 over 30 and my kidneys failed. I know that in my 58 years I've NEVER been more ill. I was in ICU isolation for 4 days ... couldn't even have visitors. Friends and family took care of the arrangements for my wife.

Glad to see you back here in good health.

It’s only statistics until it happens to you or someone you love. That’s how some people, who are unaffected, can shrug off these facts and figures.

Doesn’t 40,000 die from the normal flu every year anyway? H1N1 is just another attempt to scare the people and distract them the fact that the Communists are trying to take over healthcare and control the country.
