According to Director-General Margaret Chan, The world is no longer in phase 6 of influenza pandemic alert. We are now moving into the post-pandemic period. The new H1N1 virus has largely run its course. As we enter the post-pandemic period, this does not mean that the H1N1 virus has gone away. Based on experience with past pandemics, we expect the H1N1 virus to take on the behaviour of a seasonal influenza virus and continue to circulate for some years to come. According to the Director-General, levels and patterns of H1N1 transmission are now different from those observed during the pandemic. Out-of-season outbreaks are no longer being reported, and their intensity is similar to that seen ... virology blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3946228 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 19:08:38 +0100 3946228 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2930906&cid=t_245808_86_f&fid=36669&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffadelibrary.wordpress.com%2F2009%2F10%2F27%2Fadvice-for-mainstream-schools%2F Title: Advice for Mainstream Schools and Advice for Special Schools Skinny: Advice for schools resulting from a recognition that some groups are particularly vulnerable to any illness, including swine flu. This can include some children and young people with particular health conditions, including some complex disabilities such as cerebral palsy that can make it more difficult for them to fight off viruses.

Meanwhile the world was freaking out, conferences were cancelled, concerts were cancelled, and the cities economy took probably a bigger hit than the recent recession. People became so stupid that it reminded me of when HIV first hit on the scene and how people lost all sense of rationality. When H1N1 came on the scene, and personally I like to call it Pig Flu, I wasn’t too concerned. However over time my concern has risen. This was mostly due to the numbers of people being exposed to this virus compared to those who came in contact with SARS. Now most people won’t get dangerously sick.  But I’m not most people, and I’m not even talking about being positive. Yesterday when I tuned into the l... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2890883 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:55:34 +0100 2890883 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2667416&cid=t_245808_87_f&fid=34935&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmedicine.com.my%2Fwp%2F%3Fp%3D7592 Today the Star reported the Health Minister as saying High-risk groups, including children and pregnant women, must be given anti-viral treatment if they go to hospitals with influenza-like symptoms. Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the latest directive was made because these groups must be treated fast although they had yet to be confirmed with the influenza A (H1N1) virus. “Waiting to be tested and waiting for the results could result in a delay in treatment,” said Liow, adding that the test results can be out within six hours. A Paediatrician colleague is saying he is seeing already anxious parents demanding H1N1 tests and Tamiflu for their kids even for mild viral illnesses. Availability of PCR tests for H1N1 is very limited in this country and IMR rejects specimens i...

Here’s the WHo Director-General, Dr. Margaret Chan’s Press Statement Jimbo twittered that one way to avoid H1N1 is to migrate to Africa! LOL.

After weeks of hesitating, the World Health Organization has declared the H1N1 virus infections to be a Level 6 on the pandemic scale, which means a pandemic has been announced.

That’s what people need to remember before beginning to panic. Here is some information that may help you learn more about pandemics, viruses, etc. What’s the difference between a pandemic and an epidemic? An epidemic is something that can happen anywhere, any time with just about any type of contagious situation. Last year, there were some epidemics of mumps in some universities, a few years ag...
