New swine flu strain reaches the USA

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

Cases of the new strain of Swine Flu have been reported in the USA. Hopefully, it will be contained and not develop into a pandemic.

 

This development is consistent with transit Jupiter, as 6th lord of health matters, being debilitated and in old age at 29° 18' Capricorn/H7. Transit Jupiter is therefore very weak in transit. At the same time it is so weak, it has been under the aspect of natal Saturn as 8th lord of obstacles and endings at 26° 46' Scorpio/H5 since March 16, 2009. The aspect of Saturn becomes more important during the currently operating Venus-Saturn period. This aspect has been associated with a high number of extreme violent acts in the USA, often involving children in the USA. A few days ago a medical student in New England was arrasted and charged with multiple murders of women he supposedly learned about on the Craigslist. Yesterday, a university Professor in Athens, Georgia was being sought for killing his wife and two men before fleeing the scene with his children. On May 2, 2009, transit Jupiter will move

into Aquarius/H8 where it will remain until 31 July, 2009. It will move out of the aspect of natal Saturn on May 18, 2009 and re-enter it on July 14, 2009.

 

 

 

 

New swine flu likely widespread, experts say

25 Apr 2009 21:06:44 GMT

 

WASHINGTON, April 25 (Reuters) - A new and unusual strain of swine flu is likely widespread and impossible to contain at this point, experts agree.

 

The H1N1 strain has killed at least 20 people and possibly 48 more in Mexico and has been confirmed in at least eight people in the United States, all of whom had mild illness.

Probable cases also were found at a school in the New York City borough of Queens and experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say they fully expect to find more cases. Here is why:

* This new strain of influenza has shown it can spread easily from person to person.

* It has been found in several places and among people who had no known contact. This suggests there is an unseen chain of infection and that the virus has been spreading quietly.

* This can happen because respiratory illnesses are very common and doctors rarely test patients for flu. People could have had the swine virus and never known it.

* At least in the United States, it has so far only been found in people who had mild illness, another factor that would have allowed it to spread undetected.

* World Health Organization director Dr. Margaret Chan has said the new strain of H1N1 has the potential to become a pandemic strain because it does spread easily and does cause serious disease.

* CDC experts note that while it is possible to contain an outbreak of disease that is in one limited area, once it is reported in widespread locations, the spread is impossible to control.

NEW YORK – Two cases of the human swine influenza have been confirmed in Kansas and one more in California, bringing the U.S. total to 11. At least eight students at a New York City high school probably have swine flu also, but health officials said Saturday they don't know whether they have the same strain of the virus that has killed people in Mexico.

Dear friends,

 

Apparently, concerns about the spread of a flu pandemic have increased in the Mexcio, the USA and elsewhere, although the situation appears under control at this point. The flu has also been reported in Europe and the Mid East. The USA has issued a public health emergency today, but the World Health Organisation (WHO) is monitoring the developments but has so far not issued a similar warning, also noting concerns about causing an undue panic.

US declares public health emergency for swine flu

WASHINGTON – The U.S. declared a public health emergency Sunday to deal with the emerging new swine flu, much like the government does to prepare for approaching hurricanes. Officials reported 20 U.S. cases of swine flu in five states so far, with the latest in Ohio and New York. Unlike in Mexico where the same strain appears to be killing dozens of people, cases in the United State have been mild — and U.S. health authorities can't yet explain why. "As we continue to look for cases, we are going to see a broader spectrum of disease," predicted Dr. Richard Besser, acting chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "We're going to

see more severe disease in this country."
