Swine Flu: A Dangerous Scenario

Swine Flu: A Dangerous Scenario

Sally Tamplin DSH, PCH, MARH


On April 26, 2009 the US declared a public health emergency for the emerging new swine flu. As of Monday April 27th officials have reported 20 U.S. cases of swine flu in five states, with the latest in Ohio and New York. There have been outbreaks in Canada and other parts of the world including Europe, Israel and New Zealand. Unlike in Mexico where the same strain appears to be killing dozens of people, cases in the United State have been mild. U.S. health authorities can't yet explain why. In Mexico there have been 103 suspected deaths and 1400 people have severe respiratory illness, at present it is unknown if this is swine flu related.


The US has released 25% of its national stockpile of anti viral medications. The anti - viral medications Tamiflu and Relenza have proved to be effective in cases so far. No vaccine specifically protects against swine flu. The human flu shot given every winter won’t help. Vaccine makers have taken initial steps to make a vaccine; those with older technology will take 26 weeks once a vaccine has been developed. Companies such as Baxter International Inc. have more advanced technology and state that they can make a vaccine in 13 weeks once it has been developed.


Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type-A influenza that regularly cause outbreaks of influenza among pigs. Swine flu viruses do not normally infect humans, however, human infections with swine flu do occur, and cases of human-to-human spread of swine flu viruses have been documented.


From December 2005 through February 2009, a total of 12 human infections with swine influenza were reported from 10 states. Since March 2009, a number of confirmed human cases of a new strain of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection have been identified. An investigation by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) is ongoing.


This new strain of virus appears to have claimed its first victims near Mexico City where the impact is being felt the hardest at the moment. It is believed to have originated in Veracruz, in an area called La Gloria which is surrounded by an expanse of many pig farms. The CDC has said that the virus has the capability to mutate and evolve with the possibility to render it a formidable and deadly wipe-out virus.
