According to David A. Papi, drector of The Middlesex County Public Health Department, the man died at JFK Hospital in Edison on Saturday. The patient had multiple underlying medical conditions.
"It is with great sorrow that we report that Middlesex County has lost its first resident
due to complications from the novel H1N1 virus. Our thoughts and prayers are with the resident's family,'' Papi said.
"I was greatly saddened by this news and I send my heartfelt sympathy to the family,'' said Piscataway Mayor Brian C. Wahler. "I hope they can find some small comfort in the many family members and friends who love them and share their grief.''
The symptoms of H1N1 flu are similar to seasonal flu and include fever, lack of appetite, muscle aches, chills, coughing and fatigue. Some people have also reported having a sore throat, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Contact your doctor if you have symptoms of the flu.
