The CDC recommends that all people between the ages of 6months and 24 yrs as well as seniors and those with compromised immune systems get immunized against the flu as well as receive the H1N1 (Swine Flu) vaccine.

So let me get this straight…usually, when a drug is developed that can cure things like, hmm….say certain types of cancers or can prevent the spread of cancers…testing goes on for years before people can even apply to try out the drug in a clinical trial.  In this case, drug companies have been rushing since spring, yup, a whole 6 months ago, to prepare a vaccine and have obviously not had the proper time to test the long term effects, but we should all run and get immunized.  I wonder how many of these drug company executives are actually getting their families immunized.

It’s been quite a while and the month I’ve spent away from this blog has been, needless to say, eventful. Some stuff I’ll talk about, others I’ll leave for a later time.

In early August, I was perusing the Ryanair site for cheap plane tickets to Hyères, France where my family has a summer home. It’s in the south just along the water, and I was in desperate need of sun in the final week of the summer before buckling down for what was sure to be (barring some cataclysmic shift of Earth’s axis) a cold and dark winter in Stockholm. Ryanair happens to have flights that go from Skavsta (about 90 minutes outside of Stockholm) directly to Hyères which is perfect. Furthermore, the roundtrip ticket was 50 EUR roundtrip! Which is insanely cheap. I couldn’t pass up a bargain. Better yet, I was able to convince a buddy to join me for half the trip!

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Hospital officials confirmed Thursday it was not the H1N1 influenza that killed a Lawrenceburg teaching assistant.

Administrators said Littrell was a committed and talented employee. They said she also had children who attend the school.

ATLANTA (AP) - Most people who get swine flu don’t need prescription flu drugs, nor do the “worried well,” government doctors said Tuesday as they issued new guidelines for medicines in big demand. The drugs Tamiflu and Relenza should only be used to treat people who are sick and at high risk for complications, federal health officials said.

Sure, there are plenty of websites out there touting colloidal silver as a miracle cure for every disease in existence. This would be great if it actually worked. Now that flu season looms and H1N1/ swine flu panic has returned to the nation, Consumer Reports Health would like to remind you that no, you can’t cure chronic or communicable diseases with colloidal silver. Plus, it might turn your skin blue .

The H1N1 novel influenza virus is out there and it’s probably inevitable that it will turn up in area schools this year.
