Swine flu in Iceland

?It was only a matter of time when it would show up here,? said Haraldur Briem, the main epidemiologist working on H1N1 in Iceland, which has now been confirmed in the country.

Swine flu came to Iceland from New York; the infected person arrived before the weekend and became ill shortly after. Briem says that the person was not showing any symptoms on arrival and would therefore not have infected anybody else onboard the flight to Iceland.

According to information from epidemiologists, it seems likely four other people are also infected in the capital region and South Iceland. All are believed to be members of the same family.

If nobody else is already infected, it is hoped the illness can be stopped from spreading any further, as it can spread very rapidly if left unchecked.

Swine flu has turned out to be a relatively mild strain of flu. While highly infectious, global deaths have been few and the illness has failed to gain a strong foothold in any European country.

Iceland has enough immunisation medicine for a third of all inhabitants and it is being left to doctors? discretion who, if anybody, needs to be immunised.

of swine flu, chief epidemiologist Haraldur Briem said in a
statement.
The victim is a person who returned from abroad about a
week ago, according to the statement on the Directorate of
Health?s Web site today.
Four suspected cases, involving members of the traveler?s
family, are being investigated, Briem said. All live in the
capital Reykjavik and the southern part of the country,

Pardon me Iceland text writer, but: WHAT immunisation, there are no known novel triple pandemic virus flu vaccines hammered at the moment for the population.

Only presumed hypothetic experimental or VIP ones.

Another masquerade for panic control, or an missguide of the reporter ...

Too bad. I was hoping Iceland would be able to close its boarders and keep the little ****** out. No way.

In fact no way for anyone anywhere these days.

I can think of a few places without AH1N1. All the countries that are endemic with H5N1....Egypt....Indonesia....Vietnam.

I think what you meant to say was you can think of a few places where ther are no "announced, offical, acknowledged or confrimed" cases. There is of course a significant difference in the reality of what you said - and what I just said above.

3 ný tilfelli svínaflensu á Íslandi

Þrjú ný tilfelli inflúensu A (H1N1) hafa verið greind hér á landi. Um er að ræða fólk á aldrinum 18 til 19 ára. Fólkið er ekki alvarlega veikt en, það greindist með H1N1 eftir heimkomu frá útlöndum. Þar með hafa 7 manns greinst hérlendis með inflúensuna.

Þetta kemur fram í fréttatilkynningu frá sóttvarnalækni og almannavarnadeild ríkislögreglustjóra. Alls hafa tæplega 120 þúsund tilfelli verið greind í heiminum nú.

Sóttvarnarlæknir hvetur lækna til að taka sýni hjá sjúklingum með flensulík einkenni og eru nýkomnir efrá löndum þar sem inflúensan er í mestri útbreiðslu. En ekki sé síður mikilvægt að taka sýni frá einstaklingum sem eru með einkenni inflúensu og hafa smitast á Íslandi án tengsla við útlönd.

Svo virðist sem dánarhlutfall af völdum inflúensu A (H1N1) sé svipað og í árstíðabundinni inflúensu. Fólk með undirliggjandi sjúkdóma er í mestri hættu á alvarlegum veikindum en þó hefur verið greint frá stöku dauðsföllum hjá fullfrískum einskaklingum. Í langflestum tilfellum veldur sýkingin inflúensulíkum einkennum sem ganga sjálfkrafa yfir.
