De amerikanske myndigheder bekræfter, at et 23 måneder gammelt barn i Texas er død af svineinfluenza. Barnet er mexicaner og var i USA for at få lægebehandling, siger lægekilder i Texas.

Det er det første dødsfald uden for Mexico, som kan relateres til sygdommen.

Så det kan jo tænkes at det er bare en smule overreaktion.

Flyveren, som bragte influenza A til Danmark, er fra selskabet Continental.

Det kom fra New York og ankom til Københavns Lufthavn klokken 7.35 i onsdags - Flyets nummer er CO122N.

Den smittede person er en yngre voksen sjællænder, og de passagerer, der har siddet to rækker foran eller bagved den smittede i flyet, vil blive kontaktet af embedslægen.

Herefter afgør embedslægen, hvilke passagerer der skal i forebyggende behandling.

Some observers have questioned whether reports have been too alarmist about the new virus, which, outside of Mexico, has resulted in relatively mild symptoms. But Gregory Hartl, spokesman for the WHO, told reporters in a conference call that the devastating Spanish Influenza started out very mild in the spring of 1918, "only to reappear in the autumn of 1918 with a vengeance." That epidemic killed at least 50 million people around the globe.

He went on: "It would be remiss of us not to take this extremely seriously. If, at the end of the day, it remains a mild pandemic, or if we could somehow avert the worst of the disease, or stop the worst of the disease, that would be fantastic."

He added, "People should act with common sense rather than panic."

...

"It may turn out that [virus] . . . runs its course like ordinary flus, in which case we will have prepared and we won't need all these preparations," [Obama] said. "The reason that people are concerned is -- the scientists are concerned is this is a new strain. . . . When you have a new strain, then, potentially, our immune systems can't deal with it as effectively. And there are indications that, in Mexico at least, what you saw were relatively young, healthy people die from [the virus] rather than people whose immune system is already compromised, older individuals, very small infants, and so forth."

Er der ikke nogen der har lavet en "I survived swine flu" (evt. krydret med "and all I got...")? Det er da utroligt.
