A New Influenza virus Alert h1n1 swine flu may 14 2009

A New Influenza Virus
Novel influenza A (H1N1) is a new flu virus of swine origin that was first detected in April, 2009. The virus is infecting people and is spreading from person-to-person, sparking a growing outbreak of illness in the United States. An increasing number of cases are being reported internationally as well.

Its thought that novel influenza A (H1N1) flu spreads in the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread; mainly through the coughs and sneezes of people who are sick with the virus.

Its uncertain at this time how severe this novel H1N1 outbreak will be in terms of illness and death compared with other influenza viruses. Because this is a new virus, most people will not have immunity to it, and illness may be more severe and widespread as a result. In addition, currently there is no vaccine to protect against this novel H1N1 virus. CDC anticipates that there will be more cases, more hospitalizations and more deaths associated with this new virus in the coming days and weeks.

Novel influenza A (H1N1) activity is now being detected through CDCs routine influenza surveillance systems and reported weekly in FluView. CDC tracks U.S. influenza activity through multiple systems across five categories. The fact that novel H1N1 activity is now detected through seasonal surveillance systems is an indication that there are higher levels of influenza-like illness in the United States than is normal for this time of year. About half of all influenza viruses being detected are novel H1N1 viruses.

dude this is from the movie quarantine

A 2005 study by Dr. Julie Gerberding, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Donna Stroup, estimated deaths from poor diet and physical inactivity, had increased to 400,000 in 2000, up from 300,000 a decade earlier. But after scientists inside and outside the CDC agency questioned the death estimates, the CDC admitted making a calculation error, and lowered its estimate in January to 365,000.

Obesity accounted for 57 000 deaths over 15 years in Canada. Give or take?
