Shhhh so the sheep might forget that the swanky new clinical name, H1N1 influenza A virus, was formerly known as the Swine Flu!  It might also help to take the heat off, because it was too obvious that it was created in a lab!  A little Bird Flu, a dab of Pig Flu and just a dash of Human Flu/Genes were most likely swabbed together, as per some experts.  Oh the Tamiflu must be FLYING off the shelves.  So sick!

My best advice right now is steer clear of restaurants and fast food joints.  Also, try to keep clear of public places, wash your hands, don’t touch your face, carry and use anti-bacterial gel and get yourself taking natural anti-virals, such as, garlic or grapefruit seed extract (should be available in your local pharmacy or Lawblaws).  Fear also makes our immune system vulnerable so please remember that the H1N1 that is in North America, is milder than the one in Mexico and some suspect that it was engineered that way!  Scary.  And don’t hesitate to go see a doctor if you feel that you may have it.  Follow what your doctor tells you and STAY HOME so that you won’t infect anyone else.

I found an article with the latest news about the current status of the H1N1 in Canada…

More New Flu Cases Hit Toronto And Durham, But Authorities Have Some Good News About The Virus

Friday May 1, 2009

The number of swine flu cases in the GTA has increased again, with two more in Toronto and another pair in Durham. The city now has three cases overall while Durham leads the pack in Ontario with 6. Peel and York remain the same, with one in the former and two in the latter.

 

The provincial total is now up to 12, with 51 overall in Canada.

 

It’s believed most of those affected were recently in Mexico, although it appears there are a few who contracted the disease from contact with one of the ill tourists.

 

As before, the newest cases are all mild and all of those affected have been recovering at home. And that’s good news for authorities keeping their eyes on the progress of the virus.

 

“We have not experienced in Ontario and certainly in Canada and in most of the United States … the severe consequences noted in the Mexican situation,” explains Dr. David Williams, the province’s Chief Medical Officer of Health. “We have not seen a lot of evidence of that, so this is not one that yet has caused severity, but it’s early days.”

 

He warns there will likely be “considerably more” cases in the coming days, as more test results emerge.

 

Williams believes as long as the strain stays mild and people who feel sick stay home from work or school for about a week during the illness, the consequences won’t be that serious.

 

What about those who haven’t been away but have been exposed to a potential flu patient who has?

 

“People who’ve come in contact with confirmed cases but that have no symptoms themselves don’t have to limit their activities in the community, but they’re of the same category as the ones returning from Mexico,” advises Williams. “You monitor yourself carefully, be responsible and if you develop symptoms, then you decide to stay home and consult with your physician.”

 

The newly confirmed cases follow revelations of more patients across Canada. There were four in B.C., six more in Nova Scotia, a pair in Alberta and for the first time, one in New Brunswick. Like those back home, all are mild and all are recovering.

All this comes amid some more good news from health experts south of the border.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control revealed the current strain of what’s been rechristened the H1N1 influenza A virus doesn’t appear to be as deadly as a similar flu that swept the world to disastrous results in 1918.

The so-called Spanish Flu went on a deadly rampage at the height of WWI, eventually taking more than 40 million lives.

But authorities with the CDC say their preliminary analysis shows the ailment boasts a “very unusual” combination of human genes and other components from swine viruses already found in the U.S., Asia and Europe.

And while it’s still capable of causing fatalities, it’s not likely to have the same toll as previous pandemics – if it even comes to that.

The other unusual revelation about the disease comes from the World Health Organization, which says the strain may not affect senior citizens as readily. That’s because they may have built up an immunity to the bug due to contact with previous forms of the virus.

 

Older people are generally considered more vulnerable to infectious diseases, but most of the cases reported with this outbreak involve younger people, often in their 20s or 30s.
