Swine Flu, A Manufactured Crisis
The H1N1 crisis from an agricultural point of view:
"Let me preface what I’m about to say by telling you that my comments are in no way meant to diminish the grief and suffering of those folks in Mexico who’ve lost loved ones through the influenza situation affecting our continent this week, nor to whitewash the dozens of Americans sickened with the illness.
That being said, “swine flu” is as manufactured a crisis is you can possibly imagine."

General Instructions for Disposable Respirators

The Etymology of A/H1N1
Wikipedia: Influenza A virus strains are categorized according to two viral proteins, hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). All influenza A viruses contain hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, but the structure of these proteins differs from strain to strain due to rapid genetic mutation in the viral genome. Influenza A virus strains are assigned an H number and an N number based on which forms of these two proteins the strain contains.
Dutch confirm swine flu case in three year-old
First case of H1N1 in the Netherlands:
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch health authorities have confirmed a first case of swine flu in the Netherlands in a three year-old who had recently returned from Mexico, the health ministry said on Thursday.
The swine flu virus has killed up to 176 people in Mexico, the epicentre of the outbreak, and the World Health Organisation has raised the official alert level to phase 5, the last step before a pandemic.
Including the Netherlands, 12 countries have now reported cases of the H1N1 strain.
The Dutch case was in a child who had returned from a trip to Mexico on April 27, officials said. The parents, who were not infected with the flu, are to be given preventative medicine.
Spain on Wednesday reported the first case in Europe of swine flu in a person who had not been to Mexico, illustrating the danger of person-to-person transmission.
Both U.S. and European officials have said they expect to see swine flu deaths.
