If you take the time to watch this video and to see the impacts of H1N1, All of you will surely give even stronger consideration to go and get vaccinated.
A few summarized points from this. 44 of 46 H1N1 confirmed patients in Winnipeg had to be intubated - tube forced into the airway or through a trachial incision (most were trached) and were all heavily sedated to keep them alive. Many had to be sedated to paralyse the body and try to heal it while giving other medications. Most had 4 quadrants of their lungs heavily filled with pneumonia like congestion which was starving them of oxygen. Those who died died of hemmoraging of their tissues, similar to flu pandemics in 1918 and 1958 which killed millions. Many of the Winnipeg patients were still on ventilators after 7 weeks were not expected to recover. These were young healthy people with no symptoms nor existing chronic health conditions prior to the onset.
Most were excreting live virus more than 7 days after hospitilization. Almost all will need significant therapy to regain muscle use after induced comatose states. Some will never regain all lost strength and muscle usage.
