Again, what appears to be a wake-up call is issued! You will read below:
The poll, conducted in a national sample of Americans from Nov. 12-18, shows that about half of Americans are worried that they or their families will get sick if they travel by airplane this year.
The poll suggests the other half of us should worry, too.
The thing with Swine flu is that it can turn deadly.
The case of a 23-y.0. girl in California became ill with fever, temp and chest x-ray showed a "minor shadow," and was felt to represent a "mild pneumonia." initial H1N1 testing was negative. The next day, the patient was much worse, the chest x-ray showed a large part of the lung was now white on x-ray. The "mild case" was suddenly severe pneumonia. A lung biopsy confirmed H1N1. The patient died five days later . . . (10 days from the onset of symptoms).
"Even if a peak has occurred, half the people who are going to get sick haven't gotten sick yet."
The Last Wave, starring Richard Chamberlain
