This is a wake up calls for all human beings.
Swine looks mild and only the old and those with medical
history
dead in the past,but not now.The young (i dunt know any med
history)
also suffer.
Almost 350 people have been admitted to hospital with swine flu
since the pandemic began. Fifty have been treated in intensive
care, but doctors say the surge in patients needing cardiac bypass
treatment is putting a huge strain on intensive care units and on
staff and resources across the state.
All six of the victims on cardiac bypass are at Royal Prince
Alfred Hospital, where staff have been forced to borrow three
machines to treat 10 patients in the past two weeks. The hospital
usually treated about five patients a year using the machines, the
head of intensive care services, Robert Herkes, said yesterday.
"This is not an ordinary winter. Swine flu is hitting young,
otherwise healthy people … they start with a sore throat, develop
shortness of breath and within 12 to 24 hours have rapidly
developed respiratory failure and are being ventilated."
Health experts fear state's swine
flu death toll could soar with six young, healthy people in Sydney
fighting for their lives.
