RED ALERT! Mystery Illness In Indiana Prison - 1 Dead, 4 Critical - UPDATE: It's H1N1 Swine Flu!

They could expose the inmates and do research on spread , death rate etc.. Experiments..

Well if we are going to post on a conspiracy site we might as well go all out.

It would not be the first time prisoners in that area had been used for testing. This link is to the prison Timothy McVeigh was kept.

Same general area.

Thank you. How long did it take for everyone to be over it? I've got a 4 yr old and a 4 month old that I'm concerned about. This has been the worst I've had and is spreading fast at the office. I should stop reading threads on sickness I think.

I'm unable to find information as to whether or not inmates from this prison were used in the bird culling. Maybe someone is better at researching this...

Wouldnt have been the same prisoners...putnamville is 3 hours from those birds

PUTNAMVILLE, Ind. (AP) - A coroner says preliminary autopsy results on an inmate at an Indiana prison that’s facing an outbreak of a severe, flu-like illness suggest that man died of pneumonia.

Vigo County Coroner Dr. Susan Amos said Monday the official cause of death of the Putnamville Correctional Facility inmate has not been determined and test results are pending.

Amos says those tests will determine if the inmate had viral or bacterial infections... [link to www.washingtontimes.com]

.. ISDH is working closely with the Department of Correction, local health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to obtain and test specimens from the individuals who’ve become ill. We are also working with those agencies to identify any possible sources of exposure or whether any of the individuals who’ve become ill had any other conditions that might have affected the severity of their illness.

The jail says its bleaching units, and handing out masks to inmates and staff.

The IDOC has scheduled a news conference for 1 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 26 .. [link to wishtv.com]

Indianapolis, April 13 - H2N2, the deadliest strain of influenza since 1957, made it to the state lab on the Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis campus.

With no warnings of its grave danger, it arrived with other vials of mystery germs as part of a proficiency test to see how well the state lab performed.

But before local workers could test the panels, a Canadian lab made the frightening connection. This strain was responsible for the Asian flu that killed a million people.

The state received one of 3,700 panels sent out worldwide.

Andy Zirkle with the Indiana Department of Health says, "The kits were never actually opened up as it never got to the point of being handled to that extent."

The World Health Organization put out global warnings to destroy the virus.

Zirkle says state workers used an autoclave sterilization process. "Basically it works like a pressure cooker, where a combination of steam and heat sterilizes the sample and then from there the sample was incinerated."

Health experts across the state and globe question how the hot virus ended up as part of the test samples.

Although they say the potential risk for infection is low, there's plenty reason to take such extreme precaution.

State Epidemiologist Robert Teclaw explains, "because it hasn't been circulating since 1968, no one really has much immunity against it. So it could cause some damage if it were to get into the population."

The toddler in our home had it the longest, about 4 and a half weeks. Her symptoms kept changing a lot so it was hard to pinpoint what exactly was going on, we assume viral. Then about a week after she had it, the rest of us got a cold/flu that would not let go. Extreme sore throat, low grade fever that came and went, no energy, runny nose off and on, etc. It would get worse and the fever would spike a bit and then it would settle down and you'd think you were in the clear and then BOOM it would get you again. Awful. Right through the holidays, too.

Is having a news conference for this something regular or is it unusual? Does anyone know?

Most of our family had that too. Over Christmas as well. The younger ones affected the most badly. I just thought it was a flu that older people had met before. My 17 year old got it quite badly. Me and hubby, it was on and off, some days good others not so good and weird varying symptoms. Mostly, feeling really tired for no reason. Only way we knew it was flu was really sore throat and daughters symptoms.

It's typical for an unusual event like this. It will be all about how it's all under control. No need for panic. Blah blah blah.

But, there is occasionally a tidbit of useful info. I will try to find this conference tomorrow.

Great thread OP!

we had same thing start around Christmas and ran through family- i had it starting NY's Day w/sore throat, slight temp and stuffed nose that ended up running after i cleared it- small cough but mostly sore throat was worst- thought head cold so did some of the pills to feel better then dosed myself w/coconut oil and got better then worse couple days later- took up til this week but got rid of it for most part- some lingering nasal issues but keeping that coconut oil going is the best- kills anything in your orifices(nose/mouth/throat) well- don't forget to change tooth brush and disinfect house and everything you touch weekly til family well again- stay the fk away from people!

I was sick all of December. I never get sick hardly. And when I do I eat garlic and it's gone rapidly. Like 1-2 days gone. This December it never ended. It seemed like it had, then it came back. Did that three times. Started off like cold, then sinus infection, then flu symptoms. I'm dealing with sinus issues now, but it's where I'm at. This house I'm at is dirty. I'm hoping that's why sinus infection is back. :/
