IT'S ON THE MOVE: Swine Flu Confirmed in Queens, NYC!

Permalink

Newly confirmed cases in NYC bring the total in U.S. to 19 so far

The Associated Press

updated 11:59 a.m. ET, Sun., April 26, 2009
New York City Mayor Michael Blo****erg said Sunday that the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed that same strain of the human swine influenza that has killed people in Mexico has infected at least eight students of a high school.

Before that, there were at least 11 confirmed cases of swine flu in California, Texas and Kansas. Patients have ranged in age from 9 to over 50. New York health officials said more than 100 students at the St. Francis Preparatory School, in Queens, recently began suffering a fever, sore throat and aches and pains. Some of their relatives also have been ill.

Some St. Francis students had recently traveled to Mexico, The New York Times and New York Post reported Sunday.

Workers were sanitizing the school as a precaution. But a class reunion featuring c**ktails, dinner and dancing for hundreds of alumni from as far back as 1939 went on as scheduled Saturday.

Deaths in Mexico
Symptoms in the New York cases have been mild, said New York City Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden. But the illnesses have caused concern because of the outbreak in Mexico, where health officials say a strain of swine flu has killed up to 81 people and sickened more than 1,000.

The World Health Organization chief said Saturday that the strain has "pandemic potential," and it might be too late to contain a sudden outbreak.

The Obama administration planned a Sunday afternoon briefing to outline the government's response.

Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett wouldn't rule out travel restrictions to Mexico.

"Well, I don't want to prejudge what the officials are going to say later today," Jarrett told CNN's "State of the Union."

"But let's just put it this way: the president is taking this very seriously. He has assembled his teams from the Centers for Disease Control and Homeland Security. He has been briefed regularly. And he has asked them to speak to the American people and give the appropriate counsel later today."

Obama recently traveled to Mexico. Jarrett said Obama is not ill.

Monitoring possible cases
State infectious-diseases, epidemiology and disaster preparedness workers have been dispatched to monitor and respond to possible cases of the flu. Gov. David Paterson said 1,500 treatment courses of the antiviral Tamiflu had been sent to New York City.

The city health department has asked doctors to be extra vigilant and test patients who have flu symptoms and have traveled recently to California, Texas or Mexico.

Investigators also were testing children who fell ill at a day care center in the Bronx. Two families in Manhattan also have contacted the city, saying they had recently returned ill from Mexico with flu symptoms, Frieden said.

Frieden said New Yorkers having trouble breathing due to an undiagnosed respiratory illness should seek treatment but shouldn't become overly alarmed. Medical facilities near St. Francis Prep have already been flooded with people overreacting to the outbreak, he said.

Kansas health officials said Saturday that they had confirmed swine flu in a married couple living in the central part of the state after the husband visited Mexico. The couple, who live in sausageinson County, weren't hospitalized, and the state described their illnesses as mild.

"Fortunately, the man and woman understand the gravity of the situation and are very willing to isolate themselves," said Dr. Jason Eberhart-Phillips, the state health officer.

Swine flu is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A flu viruses, the CDC's Web site says. Human cases are uncommon but can occur in people who are around pigs. It also can be spread from person to person. Symptoms include a high fever, body aches, coughing, sore throat and respiratory congestion.

No immunity
Health officials are concerned because people appear to have no immunity to the virus, a c****ination of bird, swine and human influenzas. The virus also presents itself like other swine flus, but none of the U.S. cases appear to involve direct contact with pigs, Eberhart-Phillips said.

MSNBC staff writers, NBC News, the Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report." msnbc.com

Everyone please be safe...this flu ain't no joke!

Hear some fool ah talk bout burn pig! Pigs don't spread swine flu, swine flu is an evolved form of bird flu, which is spread through contact and is also a air blown virus. Stop blaming the pig for your mishaps, PIGS WILL START TO PROTEST! __________________
