Next Wave of H1N1 Swine Flu Now Concerns CDC

The CDC is now modeling and planning for the next wave of H1N1 Swine Flu, which is expected to impact North America this fall. The question the CDC is dealing with it how much will the Swine Flu H1N1 virus mutate in the time it is active in the Southern Hemisphere, where it is now prime flu season. The situation seems to have stabilized now in North America, though more H1N1 Swine Flu cases and more H1N1 Swine Flu deaths are expected in the near future.

Because the new swine flu virus — technically called H1N1 — is a highly unusual genetic mix of bird, flu and human viruses, health officials worry that it could continue to mutate and return in a more virulent form for next winter’s flu season.

As the swine flu continues to spread across the United States — and most cases continue to be mild — federal health officials said Monday that they’re shifting their focus from individual cases of infection to trying to project what is likely to occur with the virus in the fall.

Current Death Toll Stands at 152 Unconfimred Swine Flu H1N1 Deaths

The Current Death Toll, as of Tuesday, April 29, 2009, stands at 152. This number is unconfirmed, but should be failry close to the true number of deaths from H1N1 Swine flu. The numbers are not certain as the information is very scattered at the moment. The CDC held another press conference on Monday to allay fears of the public of an H1N1 Pandemic. The CDC in America and the WHO health organization seem to be at odds, with WHo raising the threat level to four, and the CDC making more than a couple soft-sell videos to calm the public.
