Santa Clara County Declares State of Emergency for H1N1-Swine Flu
Created by Kimberlee Sakamoto on 9/29/2009 6:43:00 PM


SANTA CLARA COUNTY (BCN) -- Santa Clara County officials are declaring a local state of  emergency due to the H1N1 swine flu virus.

The Board of Supervisors additionally allocated $500,000 toward  flu emergency response.

Officials said there have been 155 hospitalizations and eight  deaths due to the swine flu in Santa Clara County between April 3 and Sept.  15.

"The Board's declaration of emergency will enable us to put needed  resources in place to respond to what is likely to be a flu season that will  impact our entire community," County Executive Jeff Smith said in a prepared  statement.

Officials said they have seen increased incidences of the H1N1  virus in the county in the last few weeks, as well as greater numbers of  people coming to hospitals with flu-like illness, and greater absenteeism in  some schools.

The county Public Health Department is preparing to distribute the  H1N1 vaccine, as well as antiviral medications, to try to limit the spread of  the virus, officials said.

More information on the virus and prevention is available at  www.sccphd.org or www.pandemicflu.gov

I am so glad to see the big daddy government is here and ready to help us poor helpless citizens. Come on, 8 people have died from this (most likley they were already dying of some other illness), and they declare a state of emergency. Waking up and getting out of bed is dangerous too! Why don't you (Government) just stay home in bed. This world is to dangerous for you scaredy, pathetic little creatures. Stay out of our lives! Keep yourself locked in your safe little house and leave the rest of us alone to live!

NWO in action in your face! Suck up and take the shot-the world needs less worthless eaters. Glad we moved way far away from there. When the population is way down(caused by the vaccine might consider moving back-love the weather.

Unbelieveable! 
So based on the "pandemic" of <1 person per day being admitted to hospitals for this flu, a state of emergency is declared? This is a blatant attempt to rationalize mandatory vaccinations...nothing in this once-free country surprises me anymore. CA has more concentration camps than other states-die later from the toxin-laden vaccine, or die sooner in one of the U.S.'s 300 concentration camps. Nice to see we will still have freedom of choice...

Regular Flu 
The regular flu has killed way more people than the swine flu in the same amount of time.

DO NOT 
Take any swine flu vaccines as they will be filled with toxins such as thimerosal (mercury-based preservative) among many others.

Statistics 
Having trouble finding the below statistics... A)H1N1 Effectiveness How many people who received H1N1 shot have contracted flu? B) % of serous illness/100K caused by H1N1 vaccine. C) % of deaths/100K caused by H1N1 vaccine. The statistic on the sales side are understandablyin the fore front. Sincerely, P.Bielejec
