Severe Spike in H1N1 "Swine Flu" Infection Rates in Memphis, Tennessee at Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center


Remixx World! made a statement that the rates of H1N1 "swine flu" would soon spike in the city of Memphis, Tennessee. Let's hop in the DeLorean and head back a few months to the October 5, 2009 article Memphis, Tennessee Gets First H1N1 "Swine Flu" Vaccine in the United States of America!

Why am I not surprised that my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee was the first place to receive the H1N1 "swine flu" vaccine? Memphis is always on the forefront of everything whether good or bad. Based on the ingredients in this mist vaccine, I fear that a pandemic may soon spread across my hometown city.

While the swine flu infection rates have declined throughout the rest of the country,
Le Bonheur Children's Hospital has recently seen a spike in cases. Let's hope and pray that the number of cases will decrease.

Doctors at Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center are on high alert tonight after a spike in the number of children with flu-like symptoms. Right now, they believe all cases to be the novel H1N1 swine flu virus.

"Over the past 3 weeks or so, we've had about 17 or 18 admissions to Le Bonheur with confirmed influenza. I should say that we believe all or almost all of these will prove to be the novel H1N1 influenza virus."


"I think 7 of the 17 or 18 have been admitted to the ICU [intensive care unit]. So that's a bit of a shift of what we saw before."
