Pogge is in the hospital after sustaining serious injuries in an auto accident.  He's one of my best friends.  Go here to offer your good wishes for a speedy recovery.

I'll put up hospital information when his family decides to release it.  Right now, I'm respecting their privacy.

What has been the duration of your Flu on Tamiflu?

by: SoCalGal

Sun Nov 08, 2009 at 15:09:13 PM EST

Hi,

My son who is (7) has possibly had the Flu twice in the last 30 days. The first Flu was mild and only lasted 2-3 days.  In the interim he was sick with Strep and had a fever of 104.  Now 2 weeks later he has the Flu symptoms again.  This time we are on day 3, and he has been given Tamiflu (he has Asthma).  Just wanted to know other peoples Flu experiences were.

Ukraine and Eastern Europe

by: magdelaine

Fri Nov 06, 2009 at 15:45:44 PM EST

11/20/09

In the last 20 days, there have been more than 300 reported deaths in the Ukraine.  At least 90 have been studied as cases of hemorrhagic pneumonia, in which the lungs are destroyed, full of blood, appear back in color, and are completely destroyed. These facts are extremely unusual in the 2009 H1N1 pandemic thus far. Because of this, I feel this phenomenon, which is quickly spreading to nearby countries cannot be explained by the Ukraine health system, by AIDS, by the weather, living conditions, or anything else other than the fact that the virus has changed in a way that makes it more deadly. I believe this has been validated by the sequences released by the WHO to date as well as by the fact that five sequences have yet to be released.

However, I do not have the time to maintain this diary by myself. I find that there is an odd lack of curiosity about what is happening in the Ukriane, and why, here at Fluwiki. So, if as a visitor to Fluwiki you want to follow what this story, I recommend the following resources:

In any case, this will all be apparent in the coming weeks. Good luck everyone.

I have the flu - Should I get tested?

by: Ranchgirl

Mon Sep 07, 2009 at 18:56:12 PM EDT

Okay.  Great.  I've got a flu. Staying at home, feel miserable, but trying to figure out whether I should just ride it out, or whether I should get tested just to confirm - one way or the other - whether I have H1N1.  

Since they say 90% of the flu cases reported have been H1N1, should I conduct myself as IF I have H1N1?  Or is that being too presumptuous?  I don't want to over-dramatize my absence from work/meetings/etc.  Part of me says, "Just stay home, take meds, just like you would for any other flu".  The other part of my can't help but be curious.  But I really don't feel sick enough to warrant going to a doctor.

Would like to know how others who have recently had some kind of flu handled their own situation.

Return to School 24 hours after Fever Subsides???

by: showme

Fri Aug 07, 2009 at 23:30:55 PM EDT

WOW-We know that children continue to shed the virus for many days after their fever is gone, but we are going to send them back in just 24 hours. Parents will not be overly vigilant with this sort of guideline nor will schools. Am I the only one who is disgusted with this?? Good job America-you are picking the economy over good, sound medical advice. Oh, and by the way, your children will not all be vaccinated until December (hopefully).

The unforgiving arithmetic of pandemic

by: Bronco Bill

Thu Jul 16, 2009 at 14:49:23 PM EDT

This piece was forwarded to me by the "Editor-in-Chief" at FluTrackers, Florida1. It was posted by St. Michael, a member of the site. Hat tip to St. Michael (Brian J. Kopp, DPM).

Dr. David Fedson, is a vaccine expert at Aventis Pasteur MSD in Lyon, France.

This is not meant to further the reach of any church or religious organization. It is simply posted to point out that there are major inadequacies in health care in developing nations.
Please do not comment in regards to it's origins. Thank you.

Dr David Fedson on aiding developing countries in the treatment of pandemic diseases

"The world situation, as the news in recent months amply demonstrates, continues to present serious problems and the "scandal' of glaring inequalities which have endured despite past efforts". These were the words of Pope Benedict XVI during the General Audience Catechesis outlining the fundamental messages of his recently released Encyclical Letter, Caritas in Veritate (see p. 11).
