The unique strain of swine flu found in seven people in California and Texas has been connected to the deadly flu that has broken out in Mexico, killing as many as 60 people, NBC News has confirmed. The strain has never been seen before and is raising fears of a possible pandemic. The World Health Organization said it was concerned at what it called hundreds of "influenza-like" cases in Mexico, and also about the confirmed outbreak of the new strain of swine flu in the United States. Mexico canceled classes for millions of children in its sprawling capital city and surrounding area on Friday after authorities noticed a higher number of flu-like deaths than normal in recent weeks. "It is a virus that mutated from pigs and then at some point was transmitted to humans," Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova told the Televisa network. GENEVA- WHO SAYS 12 CASES OF SWINE FLU VIRUS IN MEXICO HAVE SAME GENETIC STRUCTURE AS CALIFORNIA CASES Pigs are seen as a possible intermediate host that can help avian flu viruses adapt to humans, because the epithelial cells in pigs' trachea can be infected by both avian and human flu viruses, the article notes. If avian and human viruses infected a pig at the same time, they could mix or reassort, giving rise to a novel strain that might be able to spread in humans. They add that because H5N1 infections in swine increase the risk that a pandemic strain could emerge, the findings point up the need for "continuous surveillance and management of H5N1 viruses in pigs." Originally posted by pyrytyes This is not what I need to read, for sure. My housemate is in the Tucson VA hospital, having surgery today. His daughter is scheduled to return from Mexico today...from the sounds of it, the middle of the outbreak. Currently, this hospital is trying to control some sort of influenza outbreak within its confines. My Bud told me what they called it, but I can not remember. Fortunately, for me, he'll be there for the next 5-7 days. I'll be talking to him, for sure, before I go for a visit. Will put out the word, if anything unusual manifests... Originally posted by burntheships reply to post by AshleyD That is what has got me concerned...all the reporting! This is scary stuff I would recomend closing our border with mexico if that is doable what do i know though if it is already in the USofA seem to be, how do i say it, up s#$T creek already The number of flu cases in Mexico, coupled with the high frequency of clusters in California and Texas, raises concerns that the swine flu will spread worldwide and expand into a major pandemic.

Originally posted by Sator I don't know how to say this, but let's try it anyway... The real mystery here seems to be "how is it 'changing' or mutating". "is it going to kill us all?" "Who can we blame?" and "how to defend ourselves from it" So far, the (insert your favorite animal here) flu did not kill many humans... yet. I am pretty sure that when the 'virus' (what ever it may be) starts killing a lot of people (100+) we will be informed by authorities that somehow "TERRORISTS are responsible for the ENGINEERED virus that's killing people, and a few more of our freedoms have to be put aside so we can be protected from the danger..." Let's juts wide open our eyes for this, ok? Peace WHO to Convene Emergency Meeting GENEVA (Reuters) - The World Health Organization said on Friday that it was convening an emergency committee to advise whether outbreaks of swine flu in the United States and Mexico constituted an international public health threat. "WHO will convene, sometime in the very near future, an emergency committee under the International Health Regulations, which will consider whether or not this event constitutes a public health event of international concern," WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl told Reuters in Geneva. Hartl also said that 12 of 18 samples taken from victims in Mexico showed the virus had a genetic structure identical to that of the virus found in California. But more epidemiological information was needed before any change to the WHO's pandemic alert level, currently at '3' on a scale of 1 to 6. www.msnbc.msn.com... The World Health Organization said on Friday that it was convening an emergency committee to advise whether outbreaks of swine flu in the United States and Mexico constituted an international public health threat. The White House is closely following the outbreak of a new strain of swine flu in the United States and President Barack Obama has been informed, an administration official said on Friday

Pošto je od svinjske gripe u Meksiku umrlo 68 ljudi, a u SAD-u zabilježeno osmero zaraženih, meksičke i američke zdravstvene službe pomno tragaju za znakovima novog soja virusa gripe kako bi utvrdile širi li se virus i dalje, javlja u subotu Reuters Meksiko je zatvorio škole i muzeje, te ukinuo gotvo sva javna događanja, no dužnosnici Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije (WHO) još nisu proglasili pandemiju. WHO je priopćio da je virus kod 12 meksičkih pacijenata genski identičan novom soju virusa svinjske gripe, označenom kao H1N1, koji je otkriven i kod osam pacijenata iz Kalifornije i Teksasa. Genske analize su pokazale da je taj soj virusa gripe nikada do sada viđena mješavina svinjskog, ljudskog i ptičjeg virusa. Odstupa od ostalih virusa gripe i činjenicom da gripa uglavnom pogađa starije ljude i mlađu djece, dok je ova vrsta gripe pokosila mlade ljude između 25 i 45 godina starosti. U Meksiku je do zada zabilježeno 1.005 slučajeva gripe za koje se sumnja da su uzrokovani spomenutim virusom. Ministar zdravstva Jose Angel Cordova izdao je naputke o izbjegavanju kretanja među masama ljudi i nošenju maski, upozorivši da cjepljenje nije jamstvo sprečavanja infekcije. U Mexico Cityju, metropoli od 20 milijuna ljudi, kirurške maske dijeli vojska. Odgođeni su i rock koncerti kao i nogometne utakmice. - Sviđa vam se članak?
