I mom passed away last September..sm
I cannot put into words how awful this has been. My mom was only 63 and not sick when she passed. She was my best friend...my entire life. I truely understand what you are feeling. I miss having her here for holidays, birthday parties, and everything else. This year on Mother's Day it had to be the worst day ever, as my birthday fell right on Mother's Day. I hate when people tell me she is in a better place and blah..blah..blah. Why is that better than here with her family where we all loved and cherished her? The only thing I know is that it does not get any better with time. The only thing you can do is take it one day at a time and always remember the love you have for them. I remember my mom everyday and cry for her and love her everyday. My heart aches knowing it will never be the way it used to be. My prayers are for you and what you are feeling. Take Care.
Article - Vaccine in September
Here's why it all smacks of something rotten in Denmark to me, with these timelines, etc.:
No swine flu vaccine before September
2 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AFP) — A top US health official told lawmakers that vaccines against seasonal flu likely to not protect against swine flu and that a vaccine against that deadly disease cannot be ready before September.
"If everything went great, production could lead to availability as early as September," Anne Schuchat, acting deputy director for science and public health program at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But "everything doesn't always go great," she warned the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
Schuchat said there were "active efforts" to prepare for making the vaccine, but, when asked whether it would definitely be made, replied: "I don't believe that decision has been made yet."
Schuchat warned that scientists did not believe that vaccines against seasonal influenza, which kills 36,000 people each year, would protect against the "novel" virus now making headlines.
"We don't expect there to be protection," she said. "Based on the laboratory testing that's been done so far, we don't expect there to be cross-protection."
Asked why experts worried about swine flu given the annual havoc wreaked by regular, seasonal influenza, Schuchat said "we are dealing with a novel virus" and that the general population had not built up resistance to the illness.
"It's a virus that hasn't been around before," she said. "The general population doesn't have immunity to this virus. With seasonal flu, a good proportion of the population has some immunity."
