H1N1 kills 6 people, leaves 14 critically ill in Texas

HOUSTON: -- Six people died from H1N1 in the Houston area and at least 14 people have become critically ill in Harris, Montgomery and Jefferson counties, according to the local health officials.

This is the same strain of H1N1 that caused a pandemic in 2009. Doctors have been seeing hundreds of new cases recently in Texas and nationwide. In fact, H1N1 is one of the viruses included in this year’s flu shot.

News about the illness has people packing into doctors offices and clinics.

At the Conroe Urgent Care Clinic Thursday, at least 18 patients came in with flu-like symptoms.

"We’re testing at least five to seven people positive for H1N1 [daily] as opposed to October when we hardly had any," said Physician Assistant Derrick Goodwill.

It looks like a cover up in America

The voice of Russia needs to be thank for telling truth

I am curious as to how you think the Voice of Russia got the information?

[Scott]

It would seem that it's not a big cover-up:

Don't know about a cover up. Just not picked up by CNN or FOX Commentary Chanel. Soon maybe we shall see if

the numbers go up.

Cover up? Google "H1N1 Texas" and see how many hits you have from news sources in the US. Many were days before the Voice of Russia's report.

Influenza and Pneumonia kill some 50,000 a year in the US. Could be 10 times that globally. Big numbers.
