Swine Flu Update: Not that the US would move quickly to shut down the illegal crossings at the Mexico/US border…….

26 April 2009: There is a new flu, a swine flu H1N1 variant which is a mixture of viruses from swine, birds and humans and is infecting and killing people in Mexico, deaths so far at 81 dead. Mexico’s health minister says has killed up to 81 people and likely sickened 1,324 in the country since April 13, 2009. The President of Mexico has publicly canceled any events in Mexico City where people would gather. No bull fights tonight.

The virus first took hold in Mexico on April 13 yet samples weren’t sent to CDC until a week later. The medical people in Mexico noticed one odd note regarding this flu, this flu was killing people aged 20 to 40. Flu victims are usually either infants or the elderly. The “Spanish Flu” pandemic, which killed at least 40 million people worldwide in 1918-19 also first struck otherwise healthy young adults. It originated in Kansas, and soldiers sent overseas from the army base in Kansas transmitted the disease into Europe.

There are some 20+ cases now in the US with people sick in California, Texas, Kansas, Ohio and New York so far reported. No one in the US has died so far. There are also 6 cases reported in Canada, others New Zealand and a couple suspected cases elsewhere such as Israel.

The common denominator is Mexico. The flu is being transported worldwide by people returning to their home countries from Mexico.  Yet hundreds of illegals will cross the border tonight into the USA and a portion of them will possibly be carrying the virus. This will only spread the virus further into our country.
Don’t bother phoning to speak to the secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services, as there isn’t a person appointed to that position yet.

Fortunately for us [sarcasm] Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano of DHS, taking the reins of HHS, will issue a public health emergency warning that will free up resources to address the outbreak that has hit 20 Americans in five states. That’s scary since she can’t even run DHS correctly.

Key points:

* What’s important to note is that of all these people, only one has required hospitalization.
* This strain has never been seen before.
* This virus is transmitted human to human.
* You don’t get swine flu from eating pork products. Enjoy that BLT or Bacon Cheeseburger as long as the meat was cooked to 160  degrees F.
* Wash your hands frequently, if you sneeze, cover your discharge with your arm or something other than your hands. Do not sneeze or cough on people.
* If you are showing any flu like symptoms (which can be any type flu) notify your doctor. Do not rush to the hospital ER as you will compound the problem for others if you aren’t truly sick, and might run into others that actually have it. Panic benefits no one.
* If you are sick or suspect that you have this flu, just as with any other types of sicknesses, don’t go to work or school. You just get others sick.
* Some people will possibly die from this just as people die from the regular flu each year.

We will keep you posted.

In closing, to give you a look into the future of Global Government- It would likely be the World Health Organization that would close a border and restrict travel, not the US. We are relinquishing our sovereignty as a nation. A Global Organization has to do our thinking for us.

Be safe. Stay vigilant.
