The sessions at the National Institutes of Health will be attended by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and National Security Adviser John Brennan. Swine flu has become so widespread that the WHO will, in a few days, recommend that nations that already have major outbreaks no longer test for the H1N1 virus, Fukuda said. "The reason for this is that, because the numbers of cases have increased in so many countries, it is very hard to keep up," according to Fukuda. The virus is showing up in most of the lab tests in countries with major outbreaks. [link to www.cnn.com] I have been on GLP long time. I'm old and young.. .

Believe it or not we all have access to MSN.COM or Drudge. Quoting: Family Guy n previous pandemics, the virus has then mutated, making its effects worse. So far H1N1 has acquired no obvious new mutations, but a few ominous signs have emerged. A mutation to the virus's polymerase enzyme, which makes it replicate more efficiently, has cropped up in a sample from Shanghai, China. This could spread if it makes the virus more contagious. But it may also increase pathogenicity, says Ron Fouchier of the University of Rotterdam. And last week, two cases of swine H1N1 with resistance to the main antiviral drug, Tamiflu, were discovered in people using the drug. Another was discovered in a girl who had never taken the drug, suggesting Tamiflu-resistant swine H1N1 might already be circulating. [link to www.newscientist.com] Er, no comment.
