pH1N1
Decision Making
by
Fact
Texas
​

Let's see how these numbers work.

With less than one month of avian-influenced pH1N1 surge this season, more deaths have been officially reported (10 Deaths) in Travis County than in the entire 2009 Pandemic (9 Deaths), a period when the virus was deemed Novel and dangerous.

That statistical comparison is made all the more concerning when we take into account the political scenario.

A progression of sheets within the published Open-Access workbook demonstrates the crowd-sourced figures as they have been gathered and reported on 4 occasions between January 5 and January 17, 2014.

  • pH1N1 Dominant Texas Fatality by County [Excel]
  • pH1N1 Dominant Texas Fatality by County [html/css]
  • Distribution of pH1N1 Influenza Fatalities in Texas [map by Al]
An access of information collected and collated by citizen volunteers shows that Austin (Travis County) official reports have not increased the count of Influenza fatalities at a rate commensurate with the level of patients that have been and are presently being treated in Intensive Care / Critical Care units. In fact, no early reporting county in Texas with deaths above 5 has increased except for Dallas County since the initial January 5, 2014 accumulation of Texas Fatality by County stats?

Did the Critical Care facilities across Harris, Hidalgo and Travis Counties instantly discover a new treatment that reduced death to a rate nearing zero? If so, that modality would have been communicated widely via a federal public health broadcast.

If just 20% of those patients in Critical Care at this time are not returned to health during the advanced, heroic medical treatment, then Travis County would be reporting 11 more fatalities for a total more than 230% of the entire 2009 Pandemic.

And that's if new severe cases come to a full halt at this moment.

The genetics do not predict a full halt.

Additional accurate data, including clinical statistics from the county level and genetic sequences pertinent to these flashfires from the federal public health level, would allow higher quality guidance from actionable data and, perhaps even, decision-making based on facts.

Family Speaks Out After Former Pecos Police Officer Dies From H1N1


3195981_G.jpg



PECOS- Ishmael "Smiley" Gamboa was well known and loved by many in the Pecos community, but sadly "Smiley" became sick just a few weeks ago. On Monday morning, his family tells NewsWest 9 he lost his life to H1N1.

"I was totally shocked I said it can't be, I mean is it this bad? But you know we had heard that this bad virus or this bad flu. H1N1 is going around and all that but we never expected it to hit our family so close to home," Gamboa's sister, Sue Carrasco, said.

"Smiley" served in the Pecos Police Department for over 10 years before he started truck driving. Pecos Police Chief Clay McKinney said "Smiley" was one of his best officers and everyone enjoyed working alongside him.

pH1N1
Limits
of
Interpretation
Texas
​

The limits of testing and the limits of accurate information transfer are being stretched at this moment of the s2013 pH1N1 epidemic in Texas.

A total of 6 sequences are on file from US Public Health sources to describe the entire state of Texas for the current season (s2013) and the inter-season (i2013). Genetic change counts are featured for each sequence's Hemagglutinin (HA) and Neuraminidase (NA) segment.
  • HA 22 & NA 15 for Texas 2013-December
  • HA 21 & NA 18 for Texas 2013-November
  • HA 23 & NA 16 for Texas 2013-October
  • HA 21 & NA 14 for Texas 2013-September
  • HA 26 & NA 13 for Texas 2013-August
  • HA 23 & NA 16 for Texas 2013-July
The comprehensive search shows a combined count of 35 to 39 genetic changes for Texas cases in the only two segments that are targeted by the vaccine. If the virus is clearly different and the vaccine is clearly unchanged from 2009, then what are the circumstances around which the unchanged vaccine has been proven as a match to the changed virus reservoir, a circulation producing a very different clinical outcome pattern?

Have properly handled samples from the current cases from Texas been under Hemagglutinin Inhibition assay against sera from ferrets challenged only with the vaccine strain, CA/07?

Are vaccinated patients in the Critical Care units? How many patients who took a vaccine that "doctors say" is "proving to be a good match" have died?

Eleventh flu-related death in Travis Co.

AUSTIN (KXAN) - On Tuesday, the eleventh flu-related death was reported in Austin.

Of the 11 deceased, four of them were 60 years of age or older, six died in December 2013 and the rest in January 2014. Only one of the flu-related deaths has been associated with a child. Nationally, 7.5 percent of the week's mortalities were attributed to pneumonia and influenza, according to the 122 Cities Mortality Reporting System.

As of yet, no flu deaths have been reported in Williamson County, according to the health department there.

El Paso flu-related deaths rise to 11
By Aaron Martinez / El Paso Times
Posted: 01/23/2014 02:54:56 PM MST

The El Paso Department of Health announced on Thursday that the number of flu-related deaths in the area is now at 11.

Officials said eight of the 11 victims tested positive for the H1N1 influenza virus strain. The 11 deaths include six middle-age patients, four elderly patients and one young adult. All except the young adult had underlying conditions...

pH1N1
TamiFlu Resistance
Data Sparsity Risk Factors
Texas
​

The Public Health report on January 12, 2014 from the State of Texas communicated two TamiFlu Resistant cases.

Basic information framing those cases such as clinical progressions / outcomes, the full set of sensitivity test results and the genetic sequences are required for the public to understand the risk factors involved in this flu season (s2013).

Although sequence deposits are being made by federal public health officials from cases in Low Intensity states, no sequences have been deposited for the State of Texas during the time period of the current High Intensity circulation. Of the 77 sequences deposited by federal health officials since the mid-December onset of High Intensity pH1N1, 63 cover the United States, but the only 2 sequences sampled in Texas are prior to the dangerous period.

The latest Texas sequence on file describes a common background that was sampled at an un-stipulated location on 2013-12-01. That most recent Texas sequence bears amino acid identity to the GenoTypic NA 275Y TamiFlu Resistant sequence from a nearby Southern state sampled two weeks earlier.

No information has been made public about the Hemagglutinin genetics surrounding the reported Texas AntiViral Drug Resistant cases.

A bed of very dangerous predicted genetic changes appears to be circulating in Texas without surveillance to protect the great state's 26 million citizens.

El Paso flu-related deaths rise to 11

The number of deaths from flu complications suddenly climbed to 11 in El Paso, city health officials reported Thursday.

The deaths involved six people between the ages of 31 and 65 years old. The others involved a young adult and four people who were older than 65.

Officials said eight of the 11 cases tested positive for the H1N1 flu virus strain. Last week, officials had recorded only four deaths.

Granbury mom is the latest victim of flu outbreak

GRANBURY ? There's been another flu death in North Texas. Stacey Parker was a 38-year-old mother of five from Granbury.

Her family said she never got a flu shot; now they are encouraging everyone to be inoculated.

Doctors said Parker was a victim of the H1N1 swine flu strain.

"It's been an almighty trial," said Stacey's husband, Tony Parker. "I have never been through something like this."
