bjre Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 Very informative... Informative? I did not find from that map how many in the number has also a link with other kind of illness or disease... Alberta woman first H1N1-related death in CanadaOfficials said the death has been linked to the disease, although it is unclear what exact role the virus played. The woman had chronic pre-existing medical conditions, and doctors originally pinpointed those conditions as her cause of death. http://www.calgaryherald.com/health/Alberta+woman+first+H1N1+related+death+Canada/1577557/story.html Quote "The more laws, the less freedom" -- bjre "There are so many laws that nearly everybody breaks some, even when you just stay at home do nothing, the only question left is how thugs can use laws to attack you" -- bjre "If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." -- Thomas Jefferson

Average yearly deaths attributed to the flu are 200. Though, in recent months it is H1N1 that has grabbed the spotlight, Corriveau says regular seasonal influenza is also a serious disease, with about 4,000 Canadians dying annually from common flu varieties, with 200-deaths in Alberta representing about 10% of that total. http://visitbulgaria...-free-flu-shots Quote "What about the legitimacy of the democratic process, yeah, what about it?"
