Get your own beer! Swine flu spreading on campus (AP) -- It's lurking in that awesome party just off the quad, hiding in the shot glasses passed from person to person and in the make-out sessions in the hallway. Swine flu is swirling through the nation's campuses, but despite all the warnings, flu kits and prominently displayed jugs of hand sanitizer, many students, like Georgia Tech freshman Elise Woodall, just aren't that worried. "I drink my orange juice," she said. "I figure I'll be OK." College administrators around the country are faced with a nearly insurmountable challenge: trying to stem the spread of the highly contagious swine flu virus amid the almost round-the-clock microbe-swapping behaviors of college students - many of whom are not all that concerned about the impending bug. Since the first day of classes, colleges have asked students to isolate themselves once they begin coughing and sneezing, but the mild nature of this strain of flu has some students ignoring that advice, health center officials said.

Flu Nightmare: In Severe Pandemic, Officials Ponder Disconnectin The plans have been drawn up to give doctors specific guidelines for extreme circumstances, and they include procedures under which patients who weren’t improving would be removed from life support with or without permission of their families. The plans are designed to go into effect if the U.S. were struck by a severe flu pandemic comparable to the 1918 outbreak that killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide. State and federal health officials have concluded that such a pandemic would sicken far more people needing ventilators than could be treated by the available supplies. Many of the draft guidelines, including those drawn up by the Veterans Health Administration, are based in part on a draft plan New York officials posted on a state Web site two years ago and subsequently published in an academic journal. By every indication, state and federal officials expect to weather this year’s flu season without having to ration ventilators. Dr. Problems were immediately apparent. Dr.

Julian Assange to be questioned by British police | Media Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, is expected to appear in a UK court today after his lawyers said he would meet police to discuss a European arrest warrant from Sweden relating to alleged sexual assaults. As the legal net continued to close around the whistleblowers' website and the US attorney general, Eric Holder, said he had authorised "a number of things to be done" to combat the organisation, Assange appeared to be reconciling himself to a lengthy personal court battle to avoid extradition to Sweden. Jennifer Robinson, a solicitor with Finers Stephens Innocent, which represents the Australian freedom of information campaigner, told the Guardian: "We have a received an arrest warrant [related to claims in Sweden]. We are negotiating a meeting with police." Another lawyer representing Assange, Mark Stephens, added: "He has not been charged with anything. Stephens explained that the interview would happen in the "foreseeable future" but he could not give a precise time.

Swine flu hid out in pigs for a decade, expert says | Health | R Ad hominem An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument.[2] Fallacious Ad hominem reasoning is normally categorized as an informal fallacy,[3][4][5] more precisely as a genetic fallacy,[6] a subcategory of fallacies of irrelevance.[7] Ad hominem reasoning is not always fallacious, for example, when it relates to the credibility of statements of fact. Ad hominem arguments are the converse of appeals to authority, and may be used in response to such appeals. Ad hominem as it is discussed in this article refers to the logical fallacy argumentum ad hominem, and not to the literal Latin phrase ad hominem. Types Abusive Abusive ad hominem usually involves attacking the traits of an opponent as a means to invalidate their arguments. Circumstantial Examples: Tu quoque See also References

CDC: 28 pregnant women dead from H1N1 October 1, 2009 H1N1 flu has killed 28 pregnant women and sent 100 to intensive-care units in the United States since late August, health officials said Thursday. Dr. I just want to remind women and doctors and nurse midwives that antiviral medicine can be a very important treatment for pregnant women who have respiratory illness, Schuchat said at a briefing. The CDC has not tracked seasonal flu complications in pregnancy in the past, she said. But, she added, what we are seeing is quite striking. Schuchat said Friday’s CDC weekly update would show substantial H1N1 flu illness in most of the country. Across Florida, health officials reported 11 H1N1 deaths were confirmed over the past week and 102 overall since the virus first appeared last April, the (Jacksonville) Florida Times-Union reported. H1N1 flu claimed the life of a 14-year-old girl in Maryland — the state’s first young casualty from who had no underlying problems, The Baltimore Sun reported. Source: upi

Sólo el 1% de enfermos de gripe A necesitará ingreso hospitalari Las previsiones de la Consejería de Sanidad apuntan a que apenas el 1% de las personas que se contagien de la gripe A necesitarán ser hospitalizadas. Esta predicción, elaborada a partir de informes del departamento de salud del Reino Unido y del Centro Europeo para la Prevención y Control de las Enfermedades (el ECDC, una agencia de la Unión Europea), representa unas 15.000 personas. El ingreso no necesariamente implicaría una situación de gravedad. Las autoridades sanitarias creen que sólo uno de cada cuatro de los hospitalizados (unas 3.700 personas) necesitarán atención en unidades de cuidados intensivos. En todo caso, este patógeno es menos letal que el convencional y, de momento, sólo el 0,02% de los casos registrados en España han acabado en la muerte del paciente, una tasa inferior a la gripe estacional. Para la inmunización frente a la nueva gripe, habrá que esperar hasta noviembre, como pronto.
