Kansas health officials Thursday announced the first death of a Kansan infected with the swine flu virus.

The victim was a middle-aged Sedgwick County woman who died of a chronic health condition but had contracted the H1N1 virus. Swine flu may have been a contributing factor but was not the cause of death, said Jennifer McCausland, Sedgwick County Health Department spokeswoman.

Officials also said a Riley County child has recovered from another strain of swine flu, H3N2.

The headline is quite deliberately misleading. This is someone who already was in very poor health and might have died without H1N1.

I have noticed that many of the "Swine Flu deaths" were actually related to something much more serious.

The media is hyping this "epidemic" big time!

54-year-old Jackson County man has died of swine flu, health officials say by Danielle Quisenberry | Jackson Citizen Patriot

Thursday August 06, 2009, 12:56 PM

A 54-year-old Jackson County man has died as a result of swine flu, or the new H1N1 virus, Jackson County and state health officials said today.

The man had the third confirmed case of the disease reported in Jackson County, said Dr. Donald Lawrenchuk, medical director of the Livingston and Jackson county health departments.

Lawrenchuk said he could not release personal or specific information about the man's case, but said he had been hospitalized for "quite some time because of his status."

The man died July 29, said a spokesman for the Michigan Department of Community Health.

As of July 30, 10 deaths were reported in Michigan, according to the state health department.

Lawrenchuk said for every confirmed case, there are many cases that do not get reported. Conservatively, there likely have been at least 27 other cases of swine flu in Jackson County, he said.

Those who become seriously sick or die from the disease typically are those who have previous health conditions that are suppressing their immune systems, Lawrenchuk said.

Most people who have become ill have recovered with out requiring medical treatment, according to the CDC.

Town rallies round soldier family Lee Porter, 30, died in a Surrey hospital last Friday

A soldier from Coleraine, County Londonderry, has died after contracting swine flu in England.

It is thought Lee Porter, a bombardier in the Royal Artillery, is the first UK serviceman to have died from the virus.

Reverend Peter Fleming of Coleraine First Presbyterian Church said the town has rallied around the Porter family.

"Lee was pretty involved in the community, in his work in the Fire Service and with the Army Cadet and Territorial Army," he said.

"He gave a lot of time to people and served in the community."

The 30-year-old died in a Surrey hospital last Friday, two weeks after falling sick. It is understood he had underlying health problems.

2 more die of swine flu

Mohammed Rasooldeen | Arab News

RIYADH: The Ministry of Health, for the second consecutive day, announced on Friday two more swine flu deaths among Saudis in the Kingdom, bringing the total number of fatalities to four.

The first victim was identified only as Abdullah, a 32-year-old Saudi nurse, who died at the Al-Nafi government hospital, located 100 km from Al-Ras in Qassim province. Abdullah was working in a hospital in Taif and was transferred to the region on his request three weeks ago. He developed high fever and was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday following complaints of breathing difficulties.

The second victim was a 25-year-old Saudi youth, who died at the Al-Namas government hospital, 30 km from Abha, the capital of Asir province. He was admitted Tuesday to the hospital for a severe sore throat and a chest infection. He was reportedly a chain smoker with bronchitis, which doctors say could have played a role in his death.

Swine flu linked to Colorado death

An El Paso County woman is believed to be the first person in Colorado to die of the virus. By Jennifer Brown

The Denver Post

Posted: 07/30/2009 01:00:00 AM MDT

Colorado reported its first death linked to the H1N1 swine flu Wednesday, heightening concern about the fall flu season when the strain is expected to surge.

Debra Burton, a 41-year-old El Paso County woman, died Tuesday after being hospitalized at Penrose-St. Francis Hospital in Colorado Springs. She worked at the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, at Peterson Air Force Base.

Health officials, citing patient confidentiality law, refused to say whether Burton had underlying health problems that might have caused her to succumb to the flu.

Instead, they pointed to data showing the hospitalization rate for people with H1N1 flu is only slightly higher than the rate for typical, seasonal flu.

Swine flu claims state's fourth victim

Eastern Shore resident had underlying health issues, officials say

That's quite a list.

You might want to compile those and have them ready to post on the inevitable Frankenvaccine threads that we'll have in the fall.

36,000 Americans die of ordinary flu every year. Often, these are vulnerable individuals, just as with these supposed H1N1 deaths you list. Had these individuals not succumbed to H1N1, they would have caught another flu especially since they hang out in clinics and hospitals and nursing homes where you have more infected persons with all types of flu.

I'd like to see non-H1N1 flu death stats but I suspect the health departments will have a strange lack of curiosity about publishing those numbers alongside the H1N1 numbers. Just a hunch.

However, at 36,000 non-H1N1 flu deaths per year, that would be an average of 100 non-H1N1 flu deaths per day. Way beyond the numbers of cases in which H1N1 is considered a contributing factor.

It's all about the Frankenvaccines.

Swine flu......was not the cause of death

More psyops from the MSM. Compare this line from the story to the misleading headline, which is a clear lie of omission for the rubes that don't bother reading past it.

Swine flu girl 'was misdiagnosed'

A girl died from complications arising from tonsillitis after being misdiagnosed with swine flu over the phone by a GP, her father has claimed.

Charlotte Hartey, 16, of Oswestry, Shropshire, died in Royal Shrewsbury Hospital on 31 July.

A post-mortem test found she died of natural causes though her father Karl said the coroner told the family she died from blood poisoning.

The NHS has said it is reviewing her case.

Charlotte's family said she was diagnosed over the phone by a local GP on 22 July and prescribed tamiflu.

But her condition worsened and she was admitted to hospital on 29 July. She died two days later.

Changes need to be made... to make sure people don't fall through the cracks, like Charlotte did Karl Hartey

Mr Hartey said: "Charlotte was misdiagnosed. She was diagnosed with swine flu over the phone and treated for something she didn't have.

"She actually had tonsillitis and that led to her developing abscesses in her lungs and blood poisoning as the bacteria spread, which ultimately killed her.

"This was a death that shouldn't have happened. No-one should die from tonsillitis in 2009."

He criticised the NHS policy of diagnosing swine flu over the phone as a "dangerous game".

He said: "It's a systems problem - instigated by the Government. It has to take some responsibility.

"Clearly this call centre approach to diagnosing swine flu doesn't work and needs to be reappraised.

"Changes need to be made... to make sure people don't fall through the cracks, like Charlotte did.

"One life is too many."

'Deepest sympathies'

Charlotte's funeral will be held next Thursday.

Jo Chambers, chief executive of Shropshire County Primary Care Trust, said: "Our deepest sympathies are with the family at this difficult time.

"The PCT is currently reviewing the care given in this case, working with the hospital and GP practice.

"It would be inappropriate to comment on specific details of the case until that information is available and until all test results are known."

Dr Jane Povey, the trust's medical director, said it was important that people diagnosed with suspected swine flu should contact their GP if their condition did not improve within five days for children and seven days for adults.

The Department of Health refused to comment on the case.

Swine Flu claims life of child

By Jeremy Pittari

item Staff Writer

PICAYUNE — A young child from Mississippi with several underlying chronic conditions died from swine flu in late July.

Mississippi State Department of Health State Epidemiologist Dr. Mary Currier said the elementary aged child’s death was not confirmed to have been caused only by swine flu.. She declined to give out age, name or the sex of the child for privacy reasons.

An Associated Press story states the child was a 7 year-old who was being treated at an Alabama hospital. Currier said the child was from Jackson County and was not in school at the time of becoming ill.

As of Friday there have been about 436 deaths attributed to swine flu nationwide, 30 of which were children, Currier said. Since May there have been 365 cases of swine flu in Mississippi. This was the first death for this state. Without the promise of a vaccine until at least October or maybe later, Currier suggests personal protection to avoid contracting this strain or any strain of the flu. Each year there are about 36,000 deaths from the typical seasonal flu nationwide. To date only two cases of swine flu have been reported in Pearl River County.

Personal protection involves using everyday etiquette when sneezing or coughing. That includes sneezing into a tissue or sleeve and covering the mouth when coughing. Frequent hand washing is also suggested, especially for children in school. Schools should make efforts to provide soap in bathrooms for the children to use. If soap is not available then alcohol based sanitizers will also work. Currier said she understands that some schools do not allow alcohol based sanitizers so in those cases any type of hand sanitizer will be helpful.

School closures are not being recommended by the State Department of Health since the severity of swine flu is comparable to the seasonal flu. If for some reason the severity of swine flu increases then that might change.

Currier said the a difference with swine flu is that there seems to be a higher risk of vomiting and diarrhea. Also the very young, children under five years of age, and adults in the 25 to 45 age range appear to be hit the hardest by this strain of the flu, Currier said.

Parents who might be concerned their child has swine flu should look for symptoms including high fever with a cough on a child that appears to sleep all the time. Other symptoms include muscle aches, sore throat, vomiting and diarrhea.

The child should be taken to the hospital if it appears the illness is worsening quickly. Currier said if parents plan to take their child for medical care to call that facility to alert them of the situation so the child can be kept away from the general population upon arrival.

Once the vaccine is available Currier expects it be administered to health care providers and people with chronic illnesses first. About 150 million doses are expected to be available in October.

“My concern is that people won’t come get the vaccine,” Currier said.

She said the vaccine will involve two does, just for swine flu. An additional dose will also be administered for the seasonal flu. The vaccine itself will be free to the public, but there will be an administrative charge for those that can afford it.

About $2 million has been set aside to prepare the state to distribute the vaccine, which will cover hiring people to administer the vaccine.

Currier expects one of the first places for the vaccine to be administered will be schools. Pregnant women and young children not in school should also be among the first to get the vaccine. The vaccine will not be mandated, but is recommended.

Currier said the vaccine will not cause the flu, but will protect people from contracting swine flu. Even if people get the vaccine they could still contract the flu from airborne flu pathogens, but the vaccine will help protect them from severe symptoms.

Suffolk County man, an NYPD cop, dies after contracting swine flu

August 7, 2009 By BILL MASON AND RIDGELY OCHS.

bill.mason@newsday.com,, ridgely.ochs@newsday.com

A young New York City police officer who lived in Blue Point died Friday after contracting swine flu, officials said.

Ryan Johnson, 27, of the 83rd Precinct in Brooklyn, is the eighth person in Suffolk whose death is possibly linked to swine flu, the Suffolk County Health Department said.

"He fought valiantly over many weeks, often expressing his desire to return to the job," New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said in a statement Friday. "He was an impressive young man who will be missed by all who knew him."

Johnson joined the New York City police force in July 2004.

He was admitted to a hospital June 17, where he was tested for swine flu, the Suffolk health department said. He had an underlying health condition, the health department said, but would not elaborate.

"On behalf of the entire department, I express our deepest condolences to the family and friends of police Officer Ryan Johnson," Kelly said.

The officer's family declined to comment Friday.

With Johnson's death, 10 deaths on Long Island have been possibly linked to swine flu, including two in Nassau County.

New York City had 47 deaths as of July 7, when it stopped counting deaths attributed to the outbreak. connections

Nationwide, 436 deaths have been associated with swine flu, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Indian woman who tested positive for swine flu dies: officials

(AFP) – 10 hours ago

MUMBAI — A woman in India's financial capital Mumbai who had tested positive for swine flu has died in hospital, officials said Saturday.

The 53-year-old, who had a history of diabetes and high blood pressure, was being treated for pneumonia at a private hospital but was transferred to a specialist unit for suspected H1N1 cases late on Friday.

"She was found to be H1N1 positive. This patient has expired early in the day today (Saturday)," Manisha Mhaiskar, from the Mumbai municipal authority, told a news conference.

It was not immediately clear whether the woman's death was a direct result of swine flu and further details would be known from Sunday, Mhaiskar added.

If confirmed, the death would be only India's second from the virus, which first emerged in Mexico and the United States in April.

A 14-year-old girl died on Monday in the western city of Pune, some 120 kilometres (75 miles) from Mumbai.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) said this week that more than 1,150 people have died from swine flu and the virus was now in 168 countries and territories. Nearly 90 percent of deaths have been in the Americas.
