Swine flu North Carolina

 The World Health Organization raised the influenza pandemic of the world level to synchronize four on Monday. On a scale of one to six, stage four means there are sustained outbreaks of disease. " Although there are several dozen confirmed cases of the disease in United States, there are no confirmed cases in North Carolina today. However, there are a handful of suspected cases widely dispersed across the state. "We work closely with suppliers and they are investigating cases daily," said State Health Director Dr. Engel. This means that the only way to confirm flu in pigs is laboratory results and those results in this state they will not be ready until midweek. "As early as Wednesday if we can confirm flu pork in North Carolina," said Dr. Engel. This effort influenza extraordinary items that contain pork, and the bird flu virus in a human whole. "That's one of the concerns about it, people really have never seen this virus before the flu so have little to no immunity to," explained Dr. Christopher Ohl of Stele Forest University Baptist Medical Center. In Mexico, the virus creates a very deadly, but in the United States confirmed cases, people suffer slightly. "The symptoms that appear to be typical of influenza as seen in the normal human flu season," said Dr. Ohl.

When health officials keep an eye on the virus, they say that we keep out daily lives. "I would not be too worried," said Dr. Ohl. "I was concerned but not worried." If you took a wound flu earlier this year, officials say they do not protect you from flu this effort pork. But they say the virus has been isolated and the new vaccine to be ready by next fall.
