The 1918 flu certainly was H1N1, Dr. Webster and others have reconstructed the virus. Yup, swine flun is less deadly. But............ It is less deadly with early treatment with Tami, vents, and there was that gut who they treated with ECMO. When ...

Anything around 1918 or greater will shut down many of our hospitals in a few weeks. It`s not just PPEs, and understaffed,overworked HCW, either. Where are the needed supplies going to come from? Little things like IVF, Lab Reagents, O2, food, line...

Swine apparently did not have flu until after 1918. So, it seems that us humans gave it to them. As far as appropriate PPEs, remember Totonto during the SARS outbreak> A friend actually worked there. When they ran out of N95 masks, TPTB convinced...
How many of your friends and neighbors even have 2 weeks of food and water stered? Not many,I bet.And do you have supplies for your family? At the gov. site for panflu, they reccommend having at least a 2 week store of food and WATER for every famil...

Nigeria is now testing 11 more people for HN51. They report that these folks have had contact with those ones that died. Scary ! Have any of you thought about where that IV bag you just hung was made? Probably not here in the USA. And, when our Jus...

Why should nurses and all HCW be concerned about Panflu ? 60% of those people whi have contracted it have died despite recieving ICU care. We have nowhere near enough ICU beds or even MS beds to deal with what would be needed in an outbreak. IMO,w...

I find this kinda interesting; Authorities aren't releasing the boy's name. The health department has advised those who came in contact with the boy to see their doctors. Now we know where that wacky psychic went to. How can the contacts report if ...
