“The data suggests it starts as a diffuse viral pneumonia,”
It is a wicked virus. What is this 'thirty something?'
I'll be honest, it looks like a designer virus. The appearance even looks engineered. All four components have large surface areas to each other and there are definate boundaries to the four components that are almost like 'organs' to each other. It is weird.
A virus that targets children and those that are productive. Seems odd to me.
What 'biochemical perference' do thirty somethings have?
...Doctors in the study conducted in Australia and New Zealand identified 68 patients critically ill with flu symptoms, most of whom were eventually confirmed to have H1N1. Despite having a median age of 34 years, their fatality rate was 21 percent. Six of the survivors were still in intensive care units when the data were reported....

miscarriage within 24 hours.
...But not BECAUSE of their flu shots.
These miscarriages would have normally occurred even if the moms-to-be had foregone vaccinations. And that’s because the average background miscarriage rate for any given day (among women far enough along to recognize they are pregnant) is about 397. Or so reports a new international analysis, which appeared online October 30, ahead of print, in the Lancet. To see an impact of the vaccine on pregnancy losses, miscarriage rates would have to spike well above that roughly 400-per-million figure, it notes....
Inhalers aren't going to help. Asthmatics are especially at risk for detecting the worse case scenerios. People with lung conditions need to be vaccinated, especially children, as they are already compromised.

Fatalities show lungs are overwhelmed; antiviral drugs, ventilation to replace lost oxygen can rescue patients

Lung inflammation and respiratory failure are largely responsible for the fatal cases of H1N1 (swine) flu seen so far, three new studies show. The findings also confirm observations that the influenza hits young adults the hardest but can be fought off in many cases with the use of antiviral flu drugs and a mechanical ventilator to aid breathing.
The new studies offer the first large-scale analyses of how the H1N1 flu causes life-threatening illness. All three reports find a consistent pattern of oxygen deprivation in the blood of critically ill patients, a dangerous condition that in the worst-case scenario leads to shock, organ failure and death, the researchers report online October 12 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The studies were conducted between early March and late August in Canada, Mexico and Australia and New Zealand....
