There are reports from Norway of the H1N1, Swine Flu mutating. Two people have died of the mutating Virus. Officially we do not know what this all means yet. This was reported by the Washington Post.
With the 1918 Flu deadly virus, the virus was not deadly at first but mutated into a deadly Strain.
Scientists in Norway announced Friday they had detected a mutated form of the swine flu virus in two patients who died of the flu and a third who was severely ill, the most recent report of mutations in the virus that are being watched closely for any change that could make it more dangerous.
The possibility of H1N1, or swine flu mutation could bring a deadly pandemic with world wide funerals.

An H1N1 death comes too close too home. Just a Stone’s throw away from where I live a teenager has died from H1N1 or Swine flu. This is unsettling as i have young ones that age.
The government has not been quick to respond with a vaccine. Because of the the pandemic status of this disease there are grave concerns that the virus will mutate.
‘The 14-year-old Naperville girl who died this(last) week after contracting the H1N1 swine flu also had a serious heart defect that “strongly contributed” to her death, the DuPage County coroner’s office said today. Michelle Fahle, 14, of Naperville was the first swine flu-related fatality in the county, according to Health Department spokesman David Hass. She died Thursday. But health officials had pointed out Friday that a majority of swine flu victims have other underlying health problems”
June 11th 2009-The World Health Organization -WHO- has declared that the H1N1 Virus Swine Flu A WORLD PANDEMIC. This a matter of grave concern because we are not in flu season. This indicates a significant spread of the virus around the world.
If this H1N1 virus strain were to mutate during flu season there could be many funerals and a worldwide disaster. This is this the first time this has happened in over 41 years.
Your Funeral Guy believes that it could be a worldwide disaster even if the H1N1 Swine flu strain virus does not mutate many deaths or funerals may occur Many experts however disagree. From:TimesOnline.
A disease is classed as a pandemic when transmission between humans becomes widespread in at least two regions of the world.
WHO placed the H1N1 #6 on it’s epidemic.
The last global flu pandemic came in 1968 over the so-called “Hong Kong” flu, which killed about 1 million people worldwide.”
At the time of this post USA HHS had not commented.
Certainly the hope is that this virus does not bring about anyones funeral

While the virus is spreading at a rapid rate around the world the number of deaths in Mexico has leveled off.
This has alleviated some fears. It is still best to be concerned, follow basic precautions and do not panic.
Although the pandemic level according to WHO-the world health organization is 5 out of six there is no clear evidence on how deadly the virus will be.
The latest figures at the time of this blog post is 658 confirmed cases in 16 countries. Canada is up 51 Cases and the US up 160.
It has been recently reported that the H1N1 virus was found in a Canadian herd of pigs.
I do think that Swan flu would have been better than swine flu. China just started monitoring the problem.

I do believe the CDC is asking everyone to do their part. Right now patriots will cover their mouths. This is actually very important in preventing the spread of the disease.
I do think our animal friends have the right approach to the situation i do recall seeing the cartoon in my younger days.

First USA H1N1 Swine FLU Death reported: Baby in Texas
Sadly it has been reported that the first USA swine flu death was a toddler in Texas. The H1N1 Swine flu virus was determined to be the cause.
According to the CDC , H1N1 and the Department of Homeland Security is the virus name. It is a mix of bird flu, swine flu, and human flu. In Houston the victim died Monday night April 27th 2009 .
Immune systems in young children sometimes are not developed enough to handle new viruses.
Sometimes new flu strains pop up at the end of flu season but return again in the fall. If this is how the H1N1 Virus plays out there will be enough time to come up and produce a vaccine. If the spread becomes a full pandemic now there will not be a “true”vaccine for 5 Months.
Yahoo news has reported that the center for disease control is trying to take a short cut to a vaccine. This was tried in the 1970′s but resulted in more people dying from the vaccine than the disease.
“Using samples of the flu taken from people who fell ill in Mexico and the U.S., scientists are engineering a strain that could trigger the immune system without causing illness. The hope is to get that ingredient — called a “reference strain” in vaccine jargon — to manufacturers around the second week of May, so they can begin their own laborious production work, said CDC’s Dr. Ruben Donis, who is leading that effort.”
This not what the world needs right now but a possible pandemic is here.
