The patients range in age from 30 to 68. One patient has the H1N1 Virus, but eight others have Influenza A, which has a vaccine.

Re: Six flu deaths reported in Kern County

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) -- The numbers keep rising -- a sixth person in Kern County has died from the flu.

Health-care workers and officials said these deaths likely could have been avoided with a flu-shot.

On Sunday, Jan. 12, 2014 public health officials confirmed the Kern County victims to be three men and three women between the ages of 30 and 62.

"Four of those six have been definitely, lab-confirmed as influenza, with three of them H1N1," said the county's director of disease control Denise Smith.

Health officials across the county report a huge increase in the number of patients checking into hospitals with flu-related illnesses. Dr. Tobias Smith is an ER doctor at San Joaquin Community Hospital. He said he can't stress enough how important it is to get a flu-shot this year.

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 . . .
