Guest guest Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Just took this from an article at http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/healthday/2009/09/10/swine-flu-burrows-\ into-lungs-study.htm1 Finally explains those deaths from " underlying " health issues. Now I'm a little freaked. We all need to be really careful. " Most people infected with swine-origin flu in the current pandemic have experienced relatively mild symptoms, " Ten Feizi, a professor at Imperial College London and co-author of a study released Thursday, said in a college news release. " However, some people have had more severe lung infections, which can be worse than those caused by seasonal flu. Our new research shows how the virus does this -- by attaching to receptors mostly found on cells deep in the lungs. This is something seasonal flu cannot do.
