H1N1 is now a full blown mutated pandemic in many countries, "fills lungs with blood"
If you thought the H1N1 story was history then you might be mistaken. Reports from the CDC, the WHO and doctors confirm that the "plague" that was and still is in the Ukraine now spread to cities all over the world where the lungs of people fill with blood, their lungs get destroyed within days and then they die.
In the Ukraine currently we see people getting infected, going to hospitals but not coming out again. They remain sick for longer than usual, we also hear of a lot of people where they die and their lungs are filled with blood.
According to the WHO they said earlier this month that the H1N1 in Ukraine was the same as in other countries but afterwards they said it did in fact mutate. In Norway the disease or whatever we may call it mutated as well according to the WHO that said also earlier this month that:
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health has informed WHO of a mutation detected in three H1N1 viruses. The viruses were isolated from the first two fatal cases of pandemic influenza in the country and one patient with severe illness.
Norwegian scientists have analysed samples from more than 70 patients with clinical illness and no further instances of this mutation have been detected. This finding suggests that the mutation is not widespread in the country.
The virus with this mutation remains sensitive to the antiviral drugs, oseltamivir and zanamivir, and studies show that currently available pandemic vaccines confer protection.
Worldwide, laboratory monitoring of influenza viruses has detected a similar mutation in viruses from several other countries, with the earliest detection occurring in April. In addition to Norway, the mutation has been observed in Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, Ukraine, and the US.
So that means that the h1n1 has mutated in all the above countries according to the World Health Organization
H1N1 has mutated in Norway
Although this might be nothing like the Ukraine "plague" going on in the last few days the Norwegian Institute of Public Health has said that they detected the first to three cases of the mutation in two people that have died and one person that is seriously ill.
Only three mutations have been detected in more than 70 samples and no other mutations have been found. The virus is still sensitive to antiviral durgs including oseltamivir and zanamivir.
Similar mutations have been detected in Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, Ukraine and the US according to the WHO. They also said
"Although information on all these cases is incomplete, several viruses showing the same mutation were detected in fatal cases, and the mutation has also been detected in some mild cases. Worldwide, viruses from numerous fatal cases have not shown the mutation. The public health significance of this finding is thus unclear."
"The mutations appear to occur sporadically and spontaneously. To date, no links between the small number of patients infected with the mutated virus have been found and the mutation does not appear to spread."
"The significance of the mutation is being assessed by scientists in the WHO network of influenza laboratories. Changes in viruses at the genetic level need to be constantly monitored. However, the significance of these changes is difficult to assess. Many mutations do not alter any important features of the virus or the illness it causes. For this reason, WHO also uses clinical and epidemiological data when making risk assessments."
What is strange is that they say that the H1N1 mutations have been detected in Norway and Ukraine but last week they said something different, the WHO said that the H1N1 strain in Ukraine was the same as in other parts of the world. Suddenly they have changed their tune and now apparently there was a mutation in the Ukraine.
