because if the babies were dogs,..then the libs would make commercials about their outrage.

but if its babies,...well,..they would rather not talk about that.

[NoGrayZone]

A chart? That tells me nothing. Anyone can make a colorful chart.

[NoGrayZone]

"Huang said he believed the boy had underlying health conditions that could have contributed to the death,"

Underlying health conditions, again.

[NoGrayZone]

Underlying health conditions....are either “none mentioned” (NOT none)...or they had underlying health conditions.

Anyone with already compromised health will be affected by anything, even something as simple as the common cold. I still don’t see the hysteria.

[Soul Citizen]

But how is counting, last they said they were not keeping death statistics. We can’t believe anything coming from this govt!

[Soul Citizen]

who

[DvdMom]

I know your type .

If 5 million Americans happen to die from H1N1 you would still say nothing to see here folks , move on :)

I can post many articles of healthy people who died .

Like this article

http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/health/20955931/detail.html

And it still wouldn’t matter to you unless you knew a healthy person who died of H1N1 yourself.

And even then I can hear you say it’s not a big deal....

[DvdMom]

Underlying health conditions .......

YES !!! They tried to say this woman who died had Underlying health conditions .

I believe the woman’s family 100% !

The family statement about the Underlying health conditions is mentioned below ..........

Flu Victim Family’s Statement
http://www.fox13now.com/news/kstu-utah-third-deaths-family-statement,0,4966333.story

7:40 PM MDT, June 14, 2009
Our family would like to express thanks to the Shock and Trauma unit at IMCH. And to those who have prayed and supported our family over the past 2 weeks.

Francine and her mother became ill with the flu two weeks ago today. Her mother tested positive and was treated for the flu and has since recovered. Francine tested negative and was sent home. Her health continued to decline, and three days later she was taken to Jordan Valley Hospital. For the second time she tested negative, was sent home, and told to increase fluids and rest.

We begged the doctors to treat her with Tama flu because it had helped her mother, but they refused because her test had come back negative. After another three days she became incapacitated, and was again taken to Jordan Valley where she was admitted and found to have pneumonia, plus all of the symptoms associated with the flu, but once again tested negative. At this point she had had the flu for approximately eight days, untreated. Her condition continued to decline, and on Tuesday was transferred to IMC Hospital. By this time her body was so ravaged from the virus that her kidneys and lungs started to fail and brain activity had diminished. On Wednesday, June 10 we received a positive Type-A flu test, and on Thursday we received, from the CDC, a positive test for H1N1, Swine Flu.

After fighting a valiant battle she succumbed to this illness. It has been reported that she had underlying illnesses that contributed to her death, but according to her doctors she died from lung damage, kidney failure, and brain damage which were all strong and healthy prior to contracting the virus.

[NoGrayZone]

Ahhh, the “your type” card. Good bye.

[TV Dinners]

that being said... he has saved or created 86,000 lives

[DvdMom]

If 3,900 people died from H1N1 you think it isn't a reason to be concerned .

If 540 children died from H1N1 it isn't a reason to be concerned .

If the deaths grow & grow would you be concerned ?

Probably Not ....

Seasonal flu usually kills those over 85 with preexisting conditions .

So why should you care that healthy people have died from H1N1 ?

You Don't , I Get It ....

[john in springfield]

Glad to see a post giving the REAL stats on how many die from flu each year.

[john in springfield]

3,900 (so far) is 900 more than died on 9/11.

Fortunately we don’t have the nationwide economic and psychological chaos that resulted from that event.

It’s still a shame.

[DvdMom]

have you seen this thread yet ?

Ukraine Dead Increase to 239 - Still No Sequences
Recombinomics Commentary 20:26
November 12, 2009

1,253,558 Influenza/ARI

65.615 Hospitalizations

239 Deaths

The above numbers are from the latest update from the Ukraine Ministry of Health. The number of deaths increased 26 to 239, so 50 new deaths have been reported in the past 2 days. Although the virus continues to spread (only 5 of the 27 reporting areas have not topped the epidemic threshold) many of the deaths are still being reported from the hard hit areas in western Ukraine(see map). However, the biggest jump in cases was 6.096 in Kiev to 89,339.

The steady increase in the high level of deaths continues to raise concerns about genetic changes in the H1N1. In this morning’s press conference the WHO discussed the need for prompt treatment with Tamiflu, but did not address genetic changes in Ukraine. Only general statements on the stability of the H1N1 were made in response to questions on genetic changes in Ukraine. Today’s conference is a week after the last comments on the Ukraine H1N1 sequences which indicated that there were no large changes, but an update would be forthcoming in a “few days”. It has now been over a week and no updates on genetic changes have been forthcoming.

The release of the sequences from Ukraine is long overdue.

I agree with your concern. Some posters are seeing a conspiracy and hype but I see a mystery. This flu can kill randomly. I see there is some tendancy for pregnant women and perhaps children but it seems that everyone is at risk. Most people have flu symptoms for a few days and recover. But a reasonable number require hospitalization while a smaller number die, sometimes very quickly.

I object to the rationing program. Who put the government in charge of vaccines? I want a vaccine. I especially want a vaccine for my wife who seems to catch colds and flus with more intensity than others. I cannot buy a vaccine. The vaccine is distributed to clinics who will only give the vaccine to its priority group (ages 1-24, pregnant women, and adults with respitory problems). The rationing of this vaccine is a precursor of government health care.

CDC: 3,900 Americans Dead From H1N1 in Six Months

How do you say???? BULL S***! I think they have watched Ace Ventura a few to many times. You know, the part where Ace is talking out his a**? They keep trying to emulate him in their attempt to create a crisis that does not exist.

[john in springfield]

Yeah, I saw it. :-(

#30’s first name was Tracy and leaves a 25 yr old husband with a new born, set of 3 year old twins and a 5 yr old. RIP. She was a friend of my nieces. I think she may have had asthma.

My daughter, 11, had the flu and a 104 degree temp. Her doctor's office said to take Motrin and rest. If the fever went up, head to the ER. After about a week, a cough developed. The doctor said they'd monitor her because the cough could develop into pneumonia. It didn't. She's fine now and they suspect swine flu due to symptoms. She wasn't in a high risk group and they said the side effects from Tami flu would be worse than the actual flu. The other 3 of us in the household got what I would call a "bad cold" and that was it.
