there is also extremely high AIDS rate in south africa – I wonder if the victims in this case were infected or not – that combined with the small number of victims makes it unclear what exactly the profile of this disease is.

If my child under the age of 2 contracts the h1n1 virus is he likely to survive?
Q: I just get really nervous when it comes to this h1n1 virus because they make it sound like if my 1 1/2 year old catches it before he is vaccinated he has a likely chance of death. Are there any statistics that show the death rate amoung young children? Like how many catch the virus and die compared to the ones that catch the virus and are fine?
A: Obviously I can’t tell you what will or won’t happen with you guys, and I’d hate to give you advice and have something terrible happen because of it (touch wood it doesn’t), but here’s my story.When swine flu first hit Australia, it was a massive deal. It spread very quickly and at first, any suspected or confirmed cases were being treated very seriously… whole schools closing and the pupils and teacher quarantined until they could be sure of who might have gotten it, if only student contracted it. Over time, they learnt that this wasn’t helping at all. So only confirmed individuals were quarantined.Then it become even less of a big deal because it was just spreading like crazy…. of course quarantining when the virus was confirmed wasn’t stopping the person spreading it before they became sick.So they stopped even testing for it. If you wanted to be tested you could ask for it, but essentially they were just treating any flu symptoms as if it was swine flu. Just before I found out I was pregnant (probably around the time I was ovulating actually), Lucy got very sick and very quickly, then I caught it. I’d had the annual flu vax, she hadn’t. So the fact that I’d gotten sick indicated the flu vax had done nothing anyways. The doctor we went to was stupid and useless, basically just said go to the ER if Lucy’s fever goes ever 39 degrees celcius. I was spewing because our usual doctor was on leave. Then hubby’s brother got sick as well… exactly the same as us. …same symptoms and everything. His doctor was great, really listened and took all the symptoms etc into account and said he was 99% sure that he had swine flu… but he wasn’t going to worry about testing and didn’t give tamiflu but said if it got worse he could.Now at the start when I say we got “very” sick… it was nasty (whether it was swine flu or not) but we were never hospitalised, Lucy continued to take fluids, although not as interested in milk or food… she was over it faster than I was!Remembering that there is always a chance that it wasn’t swine flu… but even those that I’d heard on the news with confirmed cases didn’t sound that bad…. one guy on the radio when asked “how bad is it?” replied with “oh, well, the kids can’t go to school but they’re not THAT sick”As with the seasonal flu, swine flu is really only a big concern for individuals who have compounding issues… other health problems, very old or very young (i.e. infants more than toddlers). So unless your little man has any other health problems I’d try not to worry too much… I know it’s hard, and any illness in your child is worrying, but if it is treated symptomatically, and if you are on the ball and head straight to the ER (or whereever you are recommended to go) if any illness gets too severe, then you should be fine.
What is the difference in the death rates of the 1918 influnza and Swine flu?
Q: I am doing an assignment of the 1918 and 1919 influenza epidemic. I would like to no the difference between the death rate of the flu that occurred in 1918 and 1919 and the H1N1 Swine flu virusThanks
A: Flu in 1918 killed 550,000+ people in 10 months. Whereas the current swine flu is expected to kill 90,000 within a period of a year (regular flu kills around 30,000 per year).Big difference. But of course, in 1918 not much was known about viruses (could not even be seen under a microscope at the time). If I remember correctly, the flu of 1918 was caused when some soldiers burned manure at their Army base in Kansas… probably not relevent to your question, just thought I’d add it :).
