Swine Flu Claims the Life of a 33 Year-Old Mother

Even though the Pig Sars epidemic is beginning to dwindle down, the sad fact is the virus still claimed someone’s life. Here is the first confirmed death in the U.S. from Swine Flu. Check the b-side for more

This week should have been a joyous time for Judy Trunnell, a 33-year-old schoolteacher who had just given birth to a healthy baby girl.

But the friends and relatives whose cars lined the quiet street in front of her home in a quiet subdivision Tuesday instead were mourning her, the first American with swine flu to die.

“We’re grieving now,” said a woman with tear-streaked eyes who declined to give her name.

In Maryland, her cousin told WMAR-TV in Baltimore that Trunnell had died after spending two weeks in the hospital. She slipped into a coma, and her baby was delivered by Cesarean section, Mario Zamora said.

This just let’s you know how serious this flu virus really is.

How long did she have it before she sought treatment, I wonder? I heard if caught early enough, it’s not a big deal after all.

Okay, I feel bad for the young lady but this hysteria has got to stop. Let’s keep things in perspective. Don’t about 10,000 people die a year from the COMMON flu?

@ME (the original)…Unfortunately if you are pregnant, catching it early or not is the solution. Pregnant women cannot take medications for this because of the baby. That is why pregnant women are urged to take flu vaccinations before they plan on becoming pregnant. I don’t even think her death was preventable, which makes it worse.

This is so sad, so devastating, I don’t even have words. No child should have to grow up without their mother, and for her to have to die like this…such a freak event.

My heart goes out to the family.

@ Marquis de sade

no one deserves to die from anything. How can you use the words you did what the hell is wrong with you calling people ***** *****, you sound like the perfect example of someone who needs to die. The only pig I see here is you. And I hope you get your ***** kicked for the words you used. Selfish, no good hating ***** is what you sound like. Wow only someone who has the devil in their heart would speak the words you just did.

they said it wasn’t actually swine flu that caused her death but an “underlying chronic health condition.” read into that what you will.

Please folks, don’t be so quick to respond to the flagrantly flamin’ repressed homosexual, who most likely dons his mom’s underclothes while on this website responding with all the ignorant and racist comments. Its most likely the only time he’s able to release his frustrations as female trapped in a womans body.

Shame on me, I read what Bossip posted but didn’t put two and two together that she was sick during her pregnancy.

Either way, that’s terrible

Avian flu found in two Tennessee poultry houses

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The *****ociated Press in Nashville says Tennessee and federal authorities are investigating a Lincoln County poultry farm after tests found a strain of avian influenza virus.

The Tennessee Agriculture Department said in a statement Monday that the strain poses minimal risk to human health and is not the strain *****ociated with human and poultry outbreaks in other countries. Officials said the strain can cause slight illness in poultry.

A preliminary test on May 1 indicated the possibility of avian flu on the farm. Additional testing was completed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The farm provides breeding stock for poultry farms and none of the poultry have entered the food supply.

State officials said this is the same strain found on a poultry farm in Giles County last week, but there is no apparent connection.

What can I do to protect myself from getting sick?
There is no vaccine available right now to protect against H1N1 flu. There are everyday actions that can help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses like influenza. Take these everyday steps to protect your health:

•Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.

•Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.

•Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.

•Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

•If you get sick with influenza, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.

I wonder how much money the government is making off of this pandemic now?

As far as vaccinations, I’ve never had one (recently) and I have never gotten the flu. I’m starting to think different of vaccinations.

Which is why I dont want to have any kids and subject them to MANDATORY shots that could ultimately kill them.

R.I.P to her.

* Me? * You! (Kami All Day)

5/6/09, 17:32:pm

Unfortunately, I work with ALOT of white people, one of whom is a very sickly person and happens to sit RIGHT ACROSS from me! Ugh!

He sneezes and coughs all day long and I crave a window or even a freakin’ fan at times. lol

I guess my immune system is excellent because I rarely get sick and if I do then its definitely something that I’ve caught airborne from someone else.

It’s crazy out here now with all of these crazy flu (hoaxes) and how people are reacting to them. I mean, I know that some higher persons are looking to decrease the population, from about 6 billion to about a 500 million, but jeez. Along with the other man-made diseases, this can be added to the list.

I feel sorry for the people of America (including me) who are subjected to this kind of cruel treatment from none other than, the people we “trust”.

What is the world coming too?

i think it didnt help that she was pregnant because you have enough complications with that, add swine flu and it seems to be a done deal….i believe this along with aids is possibly a hoax because the story that they came up with as to why and how the swine flu spread is kinda weird and its like how would you even know that…..wouldnt you have had to be there?? idk but r.i.p to this woman i pray that her family recovers from this and that her children have a good life
