H1N1 in Fort McMurray

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

The H1N1 influenza virus isn’t like any other flu strain we have seen in recent years. What is commonly referred to as the Swine Flu is causing widespread illness across North America. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states this is an unprecedented flu season, and as a result of this new strain, people are dying in record numbers. According to the CDC, the H1N1 has killed approximately 86 children this season and a majority of those young victims were teenagers between the ages of 12 to 17. These are sobering statistics which doctors believe are expected to increase as the season continues.
