US President Barack Obama has declared swine flu a national emergency.
The White House said the president signed the proclamation concerning the 2009 H1N1 outbreak on Friday evening. It increases the ability of treatment facilities to handle a surge in H1N1 patients by easing the implementation of emergency plans. Last week US officials said swine flu activity was widespread in 46 states. More that 1,000 deaths have been linked to the virus. Vaccine warning US officials said the president's declaration was similar to ones issued before hurricanes make landfall. It allows authorities to bypass certain federal requirements in order to deal more effectively with emergencies. The aim of the directive is to remove bureaucratic hurdles, allowing sick patients to receive treatment more quickly and giving health-care providers more flexibility in providing it. In his proclamation statement, Mr Obama says the 2009 H1N1 pandemic "continues to evolve". "The rates of illness continue to rise rapidly within many communities across the nation, and the potential exists for the pandemic to overburden health care resources in some localities." He said the US had already taken "proactive steps" by implementing public health measures and developing an effective swine flu vaccine. However, last week officials warned there could be delays in the delivery of vaccines. The government had hoped to roll out 120 million doses by mid-October. It now hopes for about 50 million by mid-November and 150 million in December. Given the shortfall, New York State on Friday stayed a directive ordering health care staff to be inoculated or risk losing their jobs. The CDC says widespread influenza activity in 46 states is "unprecedented during seasonal flu". It said the hospitalisation rates for laboratory-confirmed swine flu were still climbing. Although figures are hard to verify, it is thought H1N1 has hospitalised about 20,000 people in the US. Visits to the doctor for influenza-like illnesses were also much higher than expected for the time of year, the CDC said. The seasonal flu peak is usually between late November and early March. Children and young adults have been among the hardest hit by H1N1. Almost 100 of the deaths have been children. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8324070.stm |

Maybe it's only me, but that's really not as big, if you compare that the US has 307 million people in it. |

I think the difference, thoush , is in the current ability to treat swine flu as opposed to regular flu. We have many more resources, vaccines,,etc,,, to treat and prevent regular flu. |

it's just the pre-positioning of resources in case it turns out to be a big deal
better to do it and not need it than to need it and not do it |

(CBS) If you've been diagnosed "probable" or "presumed" 2009 H1N1 or "swine flu" in recent months, you may be surprised to know this: odds are you didn’t have H1N1 flu. In fact, you probably didn’t have flu at all. That's according to state-by-state test results obtained in a three-month-long CBS News investigation. The ramifications of this finding are important. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Britain's National Health Service, once you have H1N1 flu, you're immune from future outbreaks of the same virus. Those who think they've had H1N1 flu -- but haven't -- might mistakenly presume they're immune. As a result, they might skip taking a vaccine that could help them, and expose themselves to others with H1N1 flu under the mistaken belief they won't catch it. Parents might not keep sick children home from school, mistakenly believing they've already had H1N1 flu. Why the uncertainty about who has and who hasn't had H1N1 flu? CBSNews.com report on H1N1 In late July, the CDC abruptly advised states to stop testing for H1N1 flu, and stopped counting individual cases. The rationale given for the CDC guidance to forego testing and tracking individual cases was: why waste resources testing for H1N1 flu when the government has already confirmed there's an epidemic? Some public health officials privately disagreed with the decision to stop testing and counting, telling CBS News that continued tracking of this new and possibly changing virus was important because H1N1 has a different epidemiology, affects younger people more than seasonal flu and has been shown to have a higher case fatality rate than other flu virus strains. CBS News learned that the decision to stop counting H1N1 flu cases was made so hastily that states weren't given the opportunity to provide input. Instead, on July 24, the Council for State and Territorial Epidemiologists, CSTE, issued the following notice to state public health officials on behalf of the CDC: "Attached are the Q&As that will be posted on the CDC website tomorrow explaining why CDC is no longer reporting case counts for novel H1N1. CDC would have liked to have run these by you for input but unfortunately there was not enough time before these needed to be posted (emphasis added)." When CDC did not provide us with the material, we filed a Freedom of Information request with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). More than two months later, the request has not been fulfilled. We also asked CDC for state-by-state test results prior to halting of testing and tracking, but CDC was again, initially, unresponsive. This is only part of the story, copy and paste the link if you want to read it all........ |

Before considering getting the shot...do a little research.
I was trying to add links here so folks can see for themselves.... Anyway here is a list of some of the ingredients in the vaccines...for further info join the facebook group called Parents Against Vaccines...very informative. THere is a link to the webiste Sanofi-Pasteur--a vaccine manufacturer. You will find the package insert on that site. The package insert clearly states that there has been no studies to prove that the vaccine is safe for pregnant women...however "they" are advising pregnant to get the shot...hmmmm Individual in Vaccines Analysis of Chemicals (View By Brand Name) AIDS/HIV Animal Anthrax Avian flu Botulism Chicken pox (varicella) Cholera Diptheria DPT/DTaP Ebola Encephalitis Flu (influenza) Haemophilus influenzae B (HiB) Hepatitis A Hepatitis B (HBV) Human papillomavirus (HPV) Japanese encephalitis Lyme disease Measles Meningitis Meningococcal Military MMR Mumps Pertussis (whooping cough) Plague Pneumococcal Polio Q fever Rabies Respiratory syncytial Rotavirus Rubella Shingles Small pox Tetanus Tuberculosis Tularemia Typhoid fever Typhus Varicella Viral hemorrhagic fever Yellow fever 2 -
