The Italian authorities continue to insist that the H1N1 is not to be considered as dangerous, saying that it is much milder than seasonal flu although more contageous.

The vice Minister of Health keeps inviting all persons from 6mo to 65 with health problems to get the shot. They are still inviting medical workers to get the vaccine, but most of the general family doctors are preferring not getting vaccinated. Many hospitals do not have the vaccine yet and most do not have any way to do analysis to prove or disprove any patient having the H1N1 flu. (so much for stats, huh?)

Everyday there are programs on the TV about this flu and all are saying the same as I have written above.

The statistics are always quite contradictory as to the region with the most cases of people ill, but the most deaths and critical cases are being registered in the Naples area, supposedly because of high density of population.

So far 38 deaths are being declared and all but one of the victims had pre-esisting heath problems.

PS: I have NOT heard one word, not one, about the problem in Ukraine, Bulgaria, or Serbia. It's just not being told.

Peace and Good Will!
