Two flu-related deaths in Marin, two others suspected in Santa Cruz
Two recent deaths in Marin County have been linked to the flu and another two in Santa Cruz County are suspected of being flu-related, public health officials said Wednesday.
A 63-year-old man with significant chronic medical conditions died on Dec. 27, and a previously healthy 48-year-old woman died of an influenza-related complication on Jan. 6, Marin County Public Health Officer Dr. Matt Willis said.
Both were hospitalized in intensive care, and neither had received a flu vaccine, Willis said.
Six other flu patients, most of them young or middle-aged adults, have been hospitalized in the county, Willis said.

Two swine flu related deaths in Monterey County
The Monterey County Herald
Posted: 01/15/2014 03:02:12 PM PST | Updated: about 3 hours ago
Two Monterey County residents have died in cases associated with influenza virus infection according to the Monterey County Health Department.
Both were adults under the age of 65...The Health Department is not releasing any additional details, city privacy and confidentiality rights.
There have been an additional six Monterey County residents under the age of 65 who became ill enough to require hospitalization in Intensive Care Units due to influenza virus infection...
During the minimal pH1N1 case count in the Northern Hemisphere's 2012 season and post-season, the US CDC demonstrated the experimental importance of Egg Passage strategies. Variant polymorphisms known to drive deep lung involvement in humans were surfaced repeatedly from quasi-species. That egg-based experimentation was considered valuable and was pursued throughout much of 2013, but evidently not to quantify the actual circulating pH1N1 viral population . . . because the production came to a full halt at the moment that the US flu season's high fatality rates became public due to an unexpected re-emergence of pH1N1 . . .
