主题：奥巴马宣布美国进入甲型H1N1流感全国紧急状态 -- 光流
家园 奥巴马宣布美国进入甲型H1N1流感全国紧急状态 当初好像挺多人说中国反应过度的，到后来看到H1N1疫苗已经投产，以为它已经漫出人们视野之际，美国突然宣布的消息可真是shock啊，原来是打枪的不要。以中国的人口密集度，可想而知如果像美国那样放任自流后果有多严重。
家园 今年H1N1的形势不容乐观 这种紧急状态不是每年都发布的，就算有，一般是一月份左右，今年提前了3个月发布意味着今年因流感死亡的人数将会大大多于预期。
就我们这个城市来说，一手消息是所有9月份和10月初去医院检查流感症状的病人全是H1N1阳性，现在的情况是只要有流感症状的clinic是不收的，除非你有其他危重并发症，所以现在被确诊的只是实际病例的冰山一角，这也是为什么上个礼拜要发布这个紧急状态，这不是在开玩笑。未来几个月情况很难预测，现在传统的流感还没有流行起来，一旦H1N1和普通流感一起发作，情况会更糟。
H1N1对健康人的危害不大，关键是本身有慢性疾病的，幼儿，及老人。附和这些条件的人群这个冬天一定要注意好饮食，休息，和冷热，不要去公共场所。
我说一下美国吧，原计划10月初到的H1N1
疫苗到现在还没有，医院内部邮件两次通知疫苗到了，但都是虚报，现在时连普通流感疫苗都断货了，今年这个疫苗的问题弄不好要对奥巴马的中期选举产生极其不利的影响。
因为禽流感的原因，中国和欧洲对H1N1的重视程度很大，美国这感觉有些松懈，要不疫苗也不会迟迟不到。有人说中国在忽悠，不知道如果中国现在因为H1N1死了1000人，那些人又会说什么？看看CNN上预期的疫苗数量和实际生产的疫苗数量的差距，美国这边忽悠的程度似乎更大。
家园 现在美国这儿h1n1疫苗不那么难打了 不怎么排队就打了。应该是供应多了。如果想打赶快打听一下自己周围，除了医生诊所，还有其他地方打更方便，比如CVS minute clinic， 也接受大部分保险。
从今年９月份开学，小朋友学校里得这个flu的多了去了，没半个班也得有１／３都得过了。都是没两天也就上学去的。我们家这个倒没影响到。
家园 美国人命不值钱。
家园 个人以为 甲型H1N1流感主要易感人群是白种人，欧美认种。
当年的非典易感好像主要输黄种人。
家园 大胖子沙发 家园 你很好被忽悠呀。 你很好被忽悠呀。中国卫生部已经忽悠和浪费了50亿，还想再骗钱？
貌似美国每年都进入流感全国紧急状态

所谓流感全国紧急状态，就是啥事都没有。

Does this mean the 2009-10 flu season has begun?
An increase in influenza activity has already been detected in early September in some parts of the country. It’s uncertain at this time whether this signals an early start to the flu season. Typically, CDC determines that the influenza season has begun once influenza-like illness activity has been above baseline for three consecutive weeks.
Why does it seem like the numbers of weekly hospitalizations and deaths are going up?
The reported numbers for the first week of data using the new case definitions are higher than the average weekly numbers that were being posted for 2009 H1N1 counts because what is being counted is different and how it is being counted is different.
1. CDC is counting all laboratory-confirmed influenza (seasonal and 2009 H1N1) reported by states. CDC expects co-circulation of seasonal influenza viruses with 2009 H1N1 and this change in reporting will capture a fuller picture of the burden of influenza during the pandemic.
2. Some states are now reporting influenza and pneumonia syndrome, which is the standard diagnostic code used by hospitals. This is a broader category than laboratory-confirmed influenza and may elevate the numbers somewhat.
Is reporting hospitalizations and deaths associated with flu new?
Routine seasonal surveillance does not count individual flu cases, hospitalizations or deaths (except for pediatric influenza deaths) but instead monitors activity levels and trends and virus characteristics through a nationwide surveillance system. The reporting of hospitalizations and deaths by state health departments was a new surveillance system that was initiated at the beginning of the 2009 H1N1 outbreak.
This season, CDC and states will continue surveillance for flu-related hospitalizations and deaths, but the system has been modified to combine all influenza and pneumonia-associated hospitalizations and deaths and not just those due to 2009 H1N1. This is a new system in place effective August 30, 2009, that will be used to monitor trends in hospitalizations and deaths. CDC believes this system will provide a fuller picture of the burden of serious flu illness and deaths during this pandemic. This number will be cross-checked periodically against modeling studies to assess its validity.
