Feburary 17 Flu Update--Has everything changed?
Today's NE Journal of Medicine says that a boy who died of flu in Vietnam did so from diarrhea, but no respiratory symptoms. The implications of this are staggering, and relate closely to the work of Recombinomics. Essentially, it means flu might be far more widespread in Vietnam than we suspect, setting the clock forward on a potential pandemic. The article also specifies two cases of misdiagnosed encephalitis. Here's the Journal summary of the article.Right on cue, Recombinomics reminds us that in 1918 many cases were misdiagnosed, and broader screening of suspected cases is vital.

Oxford researchers say flu adapting to mammals
Vietnam continues to report some areas with no outbreaks, others not so lucky
Another country heard from...Recombinomics notes suspicous mass pig deaths in India. The encephalitis thing really opens the issue up.
Recombinomics follows up on meningo in the Phillipines, and notes some clusters worthy of analysis.

Let's all be rational here. VACCINE: There's obviously no vaccine that will appear timely. That's ok. One will appear, but like for AIDS, it's targeting an unstable bulls-eye. TAMIFLU: This is the only easily found and sourced amelioration of Type A flu, and while it's accessible now for the few who seek it, in gross numbers, there's not enough for the world, and neither is there enough for those who want and can afford it at the time it will be sought. In addition, there are clear foreshadows of a very real probability that it too will be used in a way that will lead to the virus mutating in a way that would/will block its effectiveness. PANIC: Without osetamivir, the world is exposed, without any proven protection. For the survivalists, this has to be chocolate to a chocoholic. PREPARATION: Nothing I've read focuses intensely on the myriad of infrastructure steps that would be needed to maintain civilization and social order, this time around. Dept of Homeland Security in the USA is probably doing constructive work in this area, at a slow pace, due to other motivations. The book on 1918 flu, now out, mentions social order breakdowns and the stresses at those times. Somebody, some organization, some team of people must be strategizing on how to keep the lights on and the water running. I've not seen word one on that topic.
Does anyone know where to find the planning outlines for pandemic and the probable impact scenarios?
Yes, it's pandemic time. At this moment, maybe one million caught the h5n1 in the world. Don't forget we fight a flu against which we don't have any solution. If we realize that this winter there's a lot more death than usual, and we try to count the h5n1 case there would be nothing else than a panic wave and it's no good for the economic target. Try to buy Tamiflu and to get a special ionic mask. There's nothing else to do to fight. This is the end of the world as we know it but don't give up.

Vaccines caused the "spanish" flu do some research!
Our immune systems recognizes viruses by their exterior envelope . This envelope , under natural mutations , can take only a certain limited number of forms to enable the virus to exist .
ALL those forms can be created artificially in the lab .
Ask your self why this is not done so a true universal vaccine is created …
Answer : pharmaceutical companies hate the idea to miss on a huge yearly sale . Demand answers …
