Egg Passage
Winter 2013

2014-01-18-21:30
At the WeekEnd, Atlanta

A December Void

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 . . .

Flu deaths mount in Sonoma, Mendocino counties


Four more people have died from complications of the H1N1 flu virus in Sonoma and Mendocino counties, nearly doubling the local death toll from the outbreak.

Two of the deaths occurred in Sonoma County and two in Mendocino County, according to public health officials.

But the new deaths come even as the spread of the flu virus begins to wind down from what may have been a seasonal high point last month, said Karen Holbrook, interim public health officer in Sonoma County.

?I think we have peaked,? Holbrook said. ?The percent of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza statewide is trending downward.?

The number of hospitalizations across California have also decreased, according to statewide figures reported a week ago. The latest official state influenza data will be reported Friday morning.
