Docteur Whouse…

Désolé pour ces quatre looooongues journées d’absence !

( Si si… ne le niez pas, je suis sûr qu’elles vous un tout de même un peu manqué, mes petites notes journalières ! )…

Mais il m’est tombé sur le coin de la gueule ce qui me tombe sur le coin de la gueule une fois tous les 21 ans et demi ( ben oui, 2 fois en 43 ans, ça fait une fois tous les 21 ans et demi ! ), à savoir : une bonne vieille grippe des familles !!!…

40° de fièvre, 4 jours au plumard à compter les insectes, dragons volants et autres serpents à papattes qui couraient au plafond… bref : que du bonheur !

Enfin bon… les quatre meilleurs docteurs que je connais se sont relayés à mon chevet…

qqq

Aidé en cela par mon infirmière personnelle…

qqq

Et pas d’lézards ( enfin… « plus d’lézards » ) me voici à nouveau d’attaque…

Et de retour !

Donnez-moi juste la journée pour répondre aux 83 mails qui se sont accumulés dans ma boîte à maimails pendant le week-end, et dès demain, on ré-attaque !

Cordialement : Kurgan.

Soit je suis une chochotte, soit mon vaccin contre la grippe est réellement en train de creuser dans mon bras à l'aide d'une pelleteuse.

Destination santé - Grippe : faut-il vacciner les enfants ?

2011-10-19T08:59:00+02:00

Les premiers cas de grippe saisonnière viennent d’être signalés en France. Les vaccins adaptés sont bien disponibles depuis le 29 septembre en pharmacie, mais sont-ils indiqués pour les enfants ? Par ailleurs, combien de doses utiliser pour les protéger efficacement : une ou deux ? Et à partir de quel âge les enfants peuvent-ils (ou doivent-ils) être vaccinés ?

La BCE impuissante rassurer les marchs

2011-08-06T11:45:46+02:00

Jean-Claude Trichet, le prsident de la Banque centrale europenne (BCE), n'a pas convaincu les marchs, jeudi 4 aot, de sa capacit matriser la contagion de la crise de la dette travers la zone euro. La BCE avait pourtant ractiv deux mesures anticrise exceptionnelles dans l'aprs-midi, dont la reprise de ses rachats d'obligations publiques sur le march secondaire.

Le geste tait trop faible et manquait de coeur pour les Bourses europennes qui se sont effondres jeudi, alignant les records de baisse : Paris chutait de 3,90 %, au plus bas depuis juillet 2009, Francfort reculait de 3,40 %, son plus bas niveau de l'anne. Londres finissait galement sur son plus mauvais score depuis le 2 septembre.

Le programme de rachats annonc jeudi par la BCE avait t lanc avec peine au printemps 2010 pour porter secours la Grce. La Banque n'en avait pas fait usage depuis plus de quatre mois. Mais les difficults rencontres par l'Espagne et l'Italie sur les marchs obligataires ont raviv ces derniers jours les pressions exerces sur la Banque afin qu'elle relance ses rachats. Jeudi, elle rachetait dans l'aprs-midi des obligations portugaises et irlandaises.

'Il est clair que nous ne sommes plus dans la gestion d'une crise limite uniquement la priphrie de la zone euro [pays les plus fragiles]', jugeait ainsi le prsident de la Commission europenne, Jos Manuel Barroso, dans un courrier adress mercredi aux dirigeants de l'Union europenne.

LIQUIDITS POUR LES BANQUES

L'ampleur de l'intervention de la BCE ne sera connue que lundi 8 aot au plus tt, l'institution ne communiquant qu'une fois par semaine ce sujet. La BCE, qui a dcid de maintenir ses taux d'intrt 1,5 %, va galement venir en aide aux banques prives, en mettant leur disposition des liquidits supplmentaires.

___

"Has to be 'Wicked.' Flying in on a rope like Errol Flynn in tight white pants, bent over, ripped my pants up the back. there's nothing but 9-year-old girls in the audience.

Roddick reaches quarterfinals at Queen's Club

2011-06-11T12:56:33+02:00

Andy Roddick became the first player to reach the quarterfinals at Queen's Club on Thursday by defeating 15th-seeded Kevin Anderson of South Africa 6-4, 6-4.

The third-seeded American is bidding to become the first player to earn five titles at the event and was under early pressure before winning in 78 minutes.

Anderson took the opening game to love and then had two break points before Roddick held for 1-1. Roddick then broke to lead 3-2 before serving out the set at love.

The second set followed the same pattern as Roddick again fought off a break point to hold for 1-1 and broke for a 3-2 lead when Anderson netted a forehand.

"I thought it was solid," Roddick said. "I had a game plan, I stuck to it. There was never going to be a lot of breaks out there today with the way we were both serving, but that's grass-court tennis."

Seventh-seeded Fernando Verdasco of Spain defeated No. 9 David Nalbandian of Argentina 7-5, 6-1.

Top-seeded Rafael Nadal, No. 2 Andy Murray and defending champion Sam Querrey were to play later Thursday.

Signori arrested in Italy match-fixing probe

2011-06-03T11:27:50+02:00

Former Lazio captain Giuseppe Signori was among 16 people arrested on Wednesday for alleged involvement in a match-fixing and betting ring throughout Italy.

Others arrested included current players in Serie B and C, executives for lower-level clubs and betting operators.

The police operation was based in Cremona and arrests were carried out in more than 10 cities across the peninsula. Matches under investigation included some involving Atalanta and Siena, prosecutors said, which could put the two clubs' recent promotion back into Serie A at risk.

There was a failed attempt to fix a Serie A match between then-European champion Inter Milan and Lecce at the San Siro in March, Cremona prosecutor Roberto Di Martino said. Inter won 1-0.

In all, 18 matches — mostly in Serie B and C — are under investigation, and Italian soccer federation prosecutor Stefano Palazzi has already opened a sports inquiry into the matter.

The revelations came amid a spate of betting scandals scattered throughout European soccer leagues, with the latest cases in Germany and Finland.

Signori was the Lazio captain in the mid-1990s and led Serie A in scoring in three seasons. He also made 28 appearances for Italy from 1992-95, scoring seven goals.

Signori, who retired in 2006, allegedly led a group of bettors in Bologna that had a direct impact on the match-fixing, according to the ANSA news agency. He was put under house arrest.

"Don't you have any pity in this situation? Have some mercy. I can't say anything. I will meet with my lawyer and then he'll speak for me," Signori told ANSA.

Di Martino told a news conference that the investigation began following a Serie C match between Cremonese and Paganese in November. Cremonese players allegedly had their drinks spiked with drugs so they wouldn't play well, and several players felt ill afterward.

"One player was involved in an unexplainable car accident, after which Cremonese registered an official complaint with the police," Di Martino said, adding that the drug used was a sleep medication.

The betting ring is suspected of paying off one or more players on a team to fix a match, and then placing large bets on legal bookmaking websites mostly based in Asia, to avoid betting being suspended for abnormal patterns.

"The inquiry is focused on this season, but my impression is that this went on for years," Di Martino said.

Others arrested reportedly include two players with Serie B's Ascoli — defender Vittorio Micolucci and midfielder Vincenzo Sommese — Benevento goalkeeper Marco Paoloni, plus former Serie B and C player Gianfranco Parlato.

In addition, some 30 people are under investigation for alleged involvement, including Atalanta captain Cristiano Doni and former Serie A player Stefano Bettarini, ANSA said.

One of Italy's biggest soccer betting scandals came in 1980, resulting in numerous arrests and bans for club officials and top players, including Paolo Rossi, who returned to lead Italy to the 1982 World Cup title.

In 2006, a major match-fixing scandal restricted to club and referee officials — not involving players — resulted in Juventus getting relegated to Serie B for a season, plus point penalties for several other Serie A clubs.

Multiple legal cases and appeals from the 2006 scandal are still under way.

"We certainly didn't need this right now," said Italy and Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon. "But let's wait and see until we know something more definitive before we issue judgment."

Damiano Tommasi, the new president of the Italian players' association and a former Roma player, called it "one of the ugliest pages" in Italian soccer history.

"Every once in a while we have to turn these pages. Let's hope we can do so quickly," Tommasi said. "It's the players that will end up on the front pages, but I think something larger will emerge. I'm telling (the players) to be careful."

Coming to a television near you: The Bible, from Mark Burnett

2011-05-28T00:50:46+02:00

History has big plans to make must-see-TV out of the Bible.

The project, which comes from reality producer Mark Burnett, will air as a five-part, 10-hour scripted docu-drama with live-action and state-of-the-art CGI. Given both its scale and production value, "The Bible" won't appear on History's schedule until 2013.

"This is probably the most important book in mankind, regardless of your beliefs or religious affiliation," History president and general manager Nancy Dubuc tells The Hollywood Reporter. "This series will bring the historical stories of the Bible to life for a new generation."

The series, which was conceived by Burnett and his wife, actress Roma Downey, will set out to tell the tome's stories, including Noah's Ark, the Exodus and the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.

"We spend a lot of time talking about this book, and probably not enough time knowing what's in it," Dubuc says. "One of the most important things about history is knowing the stories of history."

This is not the first time History has ventured into religious territory. Just last year, the cable network aired a documentary entitled "The Real Face of Jesus?"

But rather than approach the genre as an investigation or mystery as the net has done in the past, "The Bible" will be a more straightforward interpretation.

This is something of a reunion for Burnett and Dubuc, who worked together on the 2009 History series "Expedition Africa." Dubuc tells THR she is eager to be back in business with the man she calls "one of the most visual storytellers out there."

News of the project comes more than a month after Burnett joined forces with Hearst Corp. to form a 50:50 media, a production and events-based joint venture. As part of the deal, Hearst, a co-owner of History parent A&E Television Networks, acquired a substantial stake in Burnett's existing production business.

Les vuvuzelas sont dangereuses pour la santé

l'auteur

Slate Afrique

On savait déjà que les vuvuzelas, ces sortes de trompettes sud-africaines en plastique qui en ont horripilé plus d'un lors de la coupe du monde de football 2010, pouvaient causer des dommages auditifs. Selon la fondation suisse Hear The World, rapportait l'an passé le quotidien français Les Echos, un coup de vuvuzela dépasserait le niveau sonore d’un marteau-piqueur fonctionnant à moins de 5 mètres de l'oreille.

Une pollution sonore certes, mais qui en prime faciliterait la propagation des maladies, révèle BBC News, s'appuyant sur une étude publiée dans la revue scientifique PLoS One.

Celle-ci affirme que souffler brièvement dans une vuvuzela revient à postillonner de la salive à raison de 4 millions de gouttelettes par seconde, et donc propager des maladies contagieuses et potentiellement mortelles comme que la grippe ou la tuberculose. L’étude a été menée grâce à un laser mesurant le nombre de gouttelettes émises par huit volontaires qui devaient jouer de la vuvuzela. Les chercheurs ont trouvé que chacun d'entre eux expulsait en moyenne 658.000 particules pulmonaires par litre d’air.

Ainsi, la proximité entre supporters dans les stades favoriserait le risque épidémique. Pour cette raison —entre autres—, les organisateurs des Jeux olympiques 2012, qui auront lieu à Londres, se demandent s’ils ne faudrait pas bannir les vuvuzelas.

Medtronic CEO will stay on until replacement named

2011-05-03T20:51:08+02:00

The outgoing chief executive of Medtronic told employees Monday he will continue to lead the medical device manufacturer as its board of directors continues the search for a replacement.

Minneapolis-based Medtronic previously announced that Hawkins would step down on April 29, the close of the company's fiscal year. In a note to employees, Hawkins said the board is making "excellent progress," but has not yet found a successor.

"To ensure a smooth leadership transition I will continue to serve as chairman and CEO until my successor is named," Hawkins stated.

Analysts expect Medtronic to select a new CEO with medical device industry experience.

Hawkin's tenure leading the world's largest device maker has been characterized by sluggish sales and a falling stock price. Shares of the company have fallen more than 20 percent since Hawkins took the reins in August 2007.

The company's business has been hurt by tighter hospital budgets and the loss of health insurance for many U.S. workers. For the current year, company executives expect the global market for devices to increase just 2 to 3 percent.

In February Medtronic announced it would lay off up to 2,000 workers as part of a restructuring effort to make up for anemic sales of its implants. The company said the cuts aimed to achieve "long-term sustainable growth" and would reduce its 41,000-person work force by 4 to 5 percent.

Shares of Medtronic Inc. rose 49 cents to $42.25 in morning trading.

Gulf anniversary renews debate on Arctic drilling

2011-05-03T04:35:34+02:00

A year after the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history, some experts are pondering the next doomsday scenario — a massive oil well blowout in the icy waters off Alaska's northern coast.

Like the deepest waters of the Gulf, the shallow but frigid seas off Alaska are a new frontier for oil and gas exploration. The reserves are large but come with risks.

With no roads connecting remote coastal towns, storms and fog that can ground aircraft, no deep-water ports for ships and the nearest Coast Guard station about 1,000 miles away — it would be nearly impossible to respond on the scale that was needed last year to stop a runaway oil well and clean up the mess. That means the burden to respond would rest to an even greater degree on the company doing the drilling.

Like a backcountry camper, an oil company drilling off Alaska would have to bring all the equipment needed to the isolated drilling site. And the federal government, at least in the early stages, would be far away from the scene.

Unlike the Gulf, where tens of thousands of oil wells and runoff have tainted the waters for decades, a spill in the Arctic risks tainting a pristine and sensitive landscape, one that has not been as well studied and where drilling in federal waters is limited. That makes it harder to determine what toll a spill would have on the endangered polar bears, migrating whales and other wildlife that make use of the oil-rich seas.

While critics of offshore drilling in Alaska have long raised the specter of a massive spill, the accident in the Gulf last April highlighted shortcomings in spill preparedness. In the aftermath, experts such as Thad Allen — the government's point person on the Gulf spill — and the presidential oil spill commission have questioned whether companies and the government are adequately prepared to overcome the challenges of responding to an Arctic spill.

"We ought to be extremely careful about the Arctic, because we know that spill response and the Coast Guard cannot get to the Arctic very well," Cherry Murray, a member of the presidential oil spill panel, told a committee on ocean energy safety this week. "And cleanup is going to be considerably more difficult."

Despite lessons learned from the massive response to the Macondo well blowout on April 20 a year ago, some of the techniques deployed — skimming, burning and the application of chemical dispersants — either wouldn't work in the frigid seas and stormy skies off Alaska or would be less effective.

Booms, depending on the degree of ice cover, can freeze. Ice can also clog the suction devices used to mop up the spill, reducing how much oil can be collected. Depending on the time of year a spill occurred, even daylight can be scarce.

"The problem is on what order of magnitude are you prepared to respond, and I don't really think we know that," said Allen, now a senior fellow at the Rand Corp. think tank. "That doesn't mean that we shouldn't proceed, but everyone needs to know that's a very, very difficult place to operate."

Allen, in an interview with The Associated Press, listed the challenges: The largest city anywhere close to the drilling, Barrow, has extremely limited motel space; there is no hangar for aircraft, a must in stormy and variable weather, and the shallow water means no port.

"One has to wonder, at the height of the Macondo spill, we engaged over 45,000 people and thousands of thousands of boats," Allen said. "Depending on the type of problem you might encounter there, the lack of infrastructure, lack of forward operating bases, austerity of the environment, plus the distance to port is problematic."

The renewed focus on the obstacles to spill response off Alaska comes as the Obama administration is under increasing pressure to boost domestic oil production as a means of tempering high gasoline prices. President Barack Obama last month set a target of reducing foreign oil imports by a third by 2025.

To reach that goal, he will need the oil and gas off Alaska, where an estimated 27 billion barrels of oil lies beneath the ocean floor. That's 2.5 times the amount produced in the entire Gulf of Mexico since 1990. Yet despite these huge reserves, the costs of drilling in the Arctic, along with permitting delays and lawsuits have resulted in fewer than 100 wells being drilled in federal waters there. Only about three dozen of those are in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas off Alaska's northern and northwest coasts.

In December, in part because of concerns about responding to an oil spill, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar canceled the sale of new oil and gas leases in the Arctic. And a federal court recently ordered the agency to go back and analyze the risks of a large oil spill for a 2008 Chukchi lease sale, including how it would be handled.

While the department said it would honor existing leases, delays in permitting have caused the only company that was seeking to drill a new exploratory well in federal waters off Alaska to postpone those plans until 2012.

That company, Shell Oil Co., says it will be fully prepared as the law requires to handle a worst-case spill, in the unlikely event that one occurs. Peter Velez, Shell's oil spill response manager, told the AP that equipment would be stationed offshore with the drilling rig and could start skimming oil within an hour of a spill.

The company also will have onsite back-up blowout preventers, the valve tower on the sea floor that is supposed to shut a well in the event of a blowout. The one on the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf failed to halt the flow of oil and gas.

And in another difference from the Gulf disaster, a new capping and containment system still under construction could reach its target within a day. In BP's case in the Gulf, the equipment that eventually contained the spill before the well was killed needed to be built from scratch.

"We will have enough equipment at each of the locations to meet, and in most cases exceed, the worst-case discharge," Velez said.

In the spill last April, the worst seemed to happen — a super-deep well in about a mile of water and nearly 3 1/2 miles below the ocean floor erupted, spilling as much as 2.4 million gallons of oil into the Gulf each day.

A spill of that magnitude is much less likely in the Arctic, according to experts, because drilling would occur in shallow water, where pressures are much less than in the deep-water Gulf.

Ice, which can be an obstacle to clean up, can also act as a natural barrier to a spill. And the frigid water means the oil would be slower to degrade, buying more time to apply dispersants, burn off oil and use other clean-up techniques — though potentially exposing wildlife to more toxins. Exploratory drilling, as Shell points out, would be limited to the open water season from July-October.

Leslie Pearson, who for 19 years worked at the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, and who for the last six years was in charge of oil spill response — says it wouldn't take very long for a long-term blowout to exceed a single company's response capabilities.

"I have my doubts for sure, about being able to sustain a response," Pearson said."What makes or breaks an oil spill response is whether you can get personnel or equipment to the site in a timely manner. In a long-term blowout, it will only be a matter of time before they are overwhelmed."

Dollar mixed ahead of Fed meeting

2011-04-26T23:27:08+02:00

The dollar was mixed against other major currencies Monday ahead of a key meeting of Federal Reserve policymakers that could affect how investors think the central bank will act later this year.

The euro edged up to $1.4585 late Monday from $1.4550 late Friday, less than a cent shy of a 16-month high of $1.4648 set last week. The British pound dipped to $1.6505 from $1.6516, while the dollar was worth 82.24 Japanese yen from 81.90 yen.

The Fed, which meets Tuesday and Wednesday, is expected to say it will keep interest rates near zero and that its $600 billion bond-buying program, designed to help keep rates low, will continue until its scheduled end in June.

The Fed's super-low rates have weighed on the dollar as other central banks begin raising interest rates because of inflation fears. Increasing rates tend to support demand for a country's currency.

Investors will watch for hints Wednesday from the Fed's statement and from Chairman Ben Bernanke's first press conference about possible future actions to fight rising energy and food prices. Any "tightening" of monetary policy, which would make credit harder to get, could support the dollar.

The current value of the dollar doesn't reflect the possibility that interest rates will rise as the Fed stops buying bonds, said UBS currency strategist Mansoor Mohi-uddin in a research note.

"We remain very wary of chasing the greenback lower from current levels," Mohi-uddin said.

In the U.S., a housing report was slightly more positive. New-home sales rose 11 percent in March from the previous month to a seasonally adjusted rate of 300,000 homes, according to the Commerce Department. That pace is still far below what economists consider a healthy level.

In other trading Monday, the dollar traded at 95.44 Canadian cents from 95.45 Canadian cents and fell to 0.8809 Swiss franc from 0.8860 Swiss franc.

Rose scores 36 as Bulls top Pacers 96-90 in Game 2

2011-04-21T02:46:16+02:00

Two playoff games, two dramatic victories for the favored Chicago Bulls, and all is right in Carlos Boozer's eyes.

Derrick Rose scored 36 points, Boozer added 17 points and 16 rebounds, and top-seeded Chicago escaped with another comeback victory over Indiana, beating the Pacers 96-90 on Monday night in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.

"Every game will be tough," Boozer said. "There's not going to be any easy games in this playoffs in any series. So we look forward to some more tough games. We're built for that. We've had close games all season, and we don't expect any easy games."

Rose went wild again, scoring eight points over the final 4 minutes. Kyle Korver, who made a tiebreaking 3-pointer in Chicago's opening 104-99 victory Saturday, connected from long range to make it 90-85 with just over a minute left.

The Pacers still wouldn't go away.

A.J. Price drew a foul on Rose and hit three free throws to get Indiana within two with 23.4 seconds remaining. But Luol Deng made two free throws, Mike Dunleavy missed a 3-point attempt at the other end and Ronnie Brewer hit two foul shots to help the Bulls hold on.

Chicago made its last 16 free throws to finish 27 for 34.

"Our play has to get better," said Rose, who powered the Bulls to an NBA-best 62-20 record in the regular season. "We have to be more smooth, more efficient, especially on the defensive end where we have to try a lot harder. But I feel like we're going to get things together pretty quickly."

The Pacers were right there even though they lost Darren Collison to a sprained left ankle late in the first half. Collison said X-rays were negative but he isn't sure if he will be available for Thursday night's Game 3 at Conseco Fieldhouse.

"Right now, it's just real sore and swelled up pretty bad," he said.

Indiana threw a few more looks at Rose but still couldn't corral the dynamic point guard, who also had eight rebounds and six assists — and six of Chicago's 22 turnovers.

"We did a great job on him all night," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "He's a great player. He made key plays down the stretch to win a game for them."

Rose, likely headed for his first NBA MVP award, scored 39 points in Game 1, when Chicago closed with a 16-1 run to avoid the upset. He didn't get to the line quite as much this time but made the most of his opportunities, hitting 12 of 13 free throws after making 19 of 21 in the opener.

"I feel like this was the sequel to the Derrick Rose show," Indiana forward Danny Granger said. "It really just happened all over again."

Boozer came up big after a quiet Game 1 to help the Bulls dominate the boards (57-33) and come away with the win despite shooting 38.6 percent and a rash of turnovers.

Granger led Indiana with 19 points, but Tyler Hansbrough struggled, finishing with just six points on 2-of-12 shooting after scoring 22 points in the opener.

"We feel like we've outplayed them for most of the series," Price said.

Indiana's T.J. Ford provided the shot of the game when he banked in a 55-foot heave at the third-quarter buzzer to tie it at 67, sending loud oohs and aahs through the arena.

But the Bulls let out a big sigh of relief in the end. They realize there's plenty of room for improvement, but they're still in control.

For that, they can thank Rose.

"He made big play after big play," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "He kept attacking the basket. They put a lot of pressure on him. He made the right play. He made the right decisions."

NOTES: Bulls G Ronnie Brewer said he doesn't expect his sprained left thumb to heal until after the season and will likely play with pain the rest of the way. "It's not like it's just going to heal after a day or two," he said. "We practice every day. It's not like I'm sitting out or taking plays off." ... Former Bull Cliff Levingston presented the game ball before the opening tip. ... Fans cheered Bears coach Lovie Smith when he was shown during a timeout late in the first quarter. ... The Pacers have not won a playoff game since Game 3 of their first-round series with New Jersey in 2006. They dropped the next three games to bow out in six and did not get back to the postseason until this year. ... Price finished with 13 points.

L'OMS annonce ”un accord historique” améliorant la réponse mondiale aux pandémies de grippe

2011-04-19T12:53:00+02:00

L'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) a annoncé qu'un groupe de travail d’États Membres à composition non limitée est parvenu à un accord sur un cadre garantissant, en cas de pandémie, les échanges de virus grippaux avec les partenaires qui ont besoin d’informations pour prendre des mesures de protection de la santé publique.

Avec ce cadre, "le monde sera en meilleure position pour lutter contre la grippe saisonnière et les menaces pandémiques potentielles". indique l'OMS qui parle d'un "accord historique".

Les animaux de compagnie touchés aussi par la grippe A - H1N1

2011-04-07T00:05:00+02:00

Quelques dizaines d'animaux de compagnie ont attrapé la grippe ces dernières semaines, mais les médecins n'avaient que ces consignes à adresser à leurs maîtres : lavez-vous les mains et ne paniquez pas.

Le virus H1N1 a été repéré sur quelques chats et furets aux États-Unis depuis que l'épidémie a émergé en avril dernier, mais aucun par exemple chez les chiens ou les oiseaux. Les vétérinaires ne sont souvent pas au courant, parce que les cas détectés ou testés chez les animaux familiers sont extrêmement rares.

« Je pense que nous allons sans doute voir plus de cas d'animaux de compagnie dans le futur. Les gens commencent à être informés et y font plus attention », souligne Kristy Pabilonia, au département de médecine vétérinaire de l'Université du Colorado. Deux cas de chats grippés ont été identifiés dans son service vendredi dernier.

Un minet tigré léthargique de 13 ans ressentant des troubles respiratoires a été le premier chat de maison diagnostiqué, dans l'Iowa. D'autres matous ont réagit positivement aux tests ces deux derniers mois, mais tous sont sortis d'affaires depuis.

« La grippe n'est qu'une maladie parmi d'autres qui se transmettent des animaux aux hommes, et réciproquement, ce que les gens ont oublié », rappelle le docteur Miranda Spindel, dans le Colorado. Il y a aussi la teigne, la salmonellose, la peste et la rage. En revanche, il est rare qu'un virus grippal saute d'une espèce à l'autre, d'après l'association des vétérinaires américains. Et il n'est pas prouvé que les humains puisent être infectés par une grippe H1N1 venant de l'animal. AP

Diabetics have higher risk of death from cancer

2011-03-04T21:47:09+01:00

Doctors know that diabetics have a higher than normal risk of dying of heart attacks or strokes, but new research on Wednesday showed that having diabetes also ups the risk of dying from many cancers and other diseases.

The findings shed light on the potential burden of disease that will build in the future as the number of cases of diabetes is predicted to rise dramatically in coming decades.

"These findings highlight even more the need to prevent diabetes and to understand it better," said Emanuele Di Angelantonio of Britain's Cambridge University, who worked on the study as part of an international collaboration.

"They show that diabetes is not only a cardiovascular risk factor, but is linked as well to other conditions."

The research, published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), collated and analyzed data from 97 previous studies involving more than 820,000 people worldwide.

It found that being a diabetic hiked the odds of dying from cancer by 25 percent, and also heightened the risk of death from infection, kidney and liver disease.

The risk of death was only higher in people with poorly controlled diabetes, however, as indicated by high blood sugar levels after a fast.

Among the biggest cancer risks for diabetics were liver and pancreatic cancer, colorectal or bowel cancer, and lung cancer.

Diabetes is reaching epidemic levels with an estimated 280 million people, or 6.4 percent of the world's population, suffering from it and numbers predicted to rise further as obesity rates also increase.

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says up to a third of U.S. adults could have diabetes by 2050 they continue to gain weight and shun exercise.

Another study published this week found that millions of people with diabetes are undiagnosed or poorly treated, raising their risk of early death from heart disease and of serious complications like blindness and chronic kidney disease.

The Cambridge-led study found that aside from cancer and vascular diseases such as stroke, diabetes was also associated with deaths from many other causes including renal disease, liver disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, mental disorders, pneumonia, other infectious diseases.

"A 50-year-old with diabetes died, on average, six years earlier than a counterpart without diabetes," said Cambridge University's John Danesh, who also worked on the study.

The study did not look at why these death rates were higher among diabetics, so the researchers could not say whether diabetes link was simply a proxy for generally poorer health.

"Preventing diabetes becomes that much easier when we have a complete picture of the debilitating effect it has across the body and we know what steps to take to mitigate the damage," said Stephen Holgate of Britain's Medical Research Council, which part-funded the study.

Brent crude up over $6 as Libya unrest cuts supply

2011-02-24T17:08:07+01:00

Brent oil surged over 7.5 percent to its highest since August 2008 on Thursday on concern the bloody unrest that has cut more than a quarter of OPEC-member Libya's crude output could spread to other major producers, including top exporter Saudi Arabia.

Disruption stemming from the revolt in the world's No. 12 exporter Libya has cut at least 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) of the country's 1.6 million bpd output, according to Reuters calculations.

Brent crude on Thursday rallied as much as $8.54 a barrel to a peak of $119.79. Brent has risen around 15 percent in four-days.

Reuters market analyst Wang Tao says technical charts show Brent could be on course for a rise to $158 per barrel in 2011, well above its 2008 high of $147.50, while he expects U.S. crude to touch $159 per barrel.

U.S. crude for April delivery rose as high as $103.41, the highest September 2009.

The cuts from Libya represent the first disruption to supply as a direct result of protests that have swept through the oil producing regions of North Africa and the Middle East.

The concern for oil markets is how unrest might affect Saudi Arabia, which not only pumps around 10 percent of the world's oil but is also the only holder of significant spare crude production capacity that could be used to plug supply outages such as those being suffered by Libya.

"The situation in the Middle East is causing a lot of uncertainty in the market now, the risk of disruption to major producers in the region is what every investor is watching now,"

said Ken Hasegawa, a commodity derivatives manager at Newege brokerage in Tokyo.

Without Saudi Arabia's 4 million bpd of spare capacity, there is little margin in the global oil supply system to deal with output disruption.

To date, the kingdom has escaped the popular protests against poverty, corruption and oppression that have raged across the Arab world, toppling the long-time leaders of Egypt and Tunisia and spreading as far as Saudi neighbor Bahrain.

"You can't ignore it, if you have trouble in Bahrain, there is a fear that this could spread into Saudi Arabia," said Tony Nunan, a risk manager with Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Corp.

"No one expected Egypt's (Hosni) Mubarak to go, now anything is possible and that is why everyone is watching this closely."

Saudi King Abdullah returned home on Wednesday from a three-month medical absence and unveiled benefits for Saudis worth some $37 billion in an apparent bid to insulate the world's top oil exporter from the protests across the Arab world.

Hundreds of people on Wednesday backed a Facebook page campaigning for a "day of rage" across the kingdom on March 11 to demand an elected ruler, greater freedom for women and the release of political prisoners.

LIBYA

Eastern areas holding much of Libya's oil have slipped from the control of Muammar Gaddafi, who has unleashed a bloody crackdown on protesters to keep his 41-year grip on power. The death toll may already be as high as 1,000 people, Italy's Foreign Minister said.

President Barack Obama broke his silence on Libya late on Wednesday, calling for international unity to end the violence but did not call for Gaddafi to go.

Staff from international oil firms are among the many leaving the country as governments around the world scramble to send planes and ships to evacuate their citizens from the North African producer.

Top Chinese oil and gas company China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) said on Thursday it had evacuated some of its employees.

The unrest has added as much as $20 a barrel to oil as investors price in the potential for further disruptions, but for now supply was plentiful, Nunan said.

"There is about a $10-$20 risk premium on oil prices at the moment, but fundamentals show that the market is still well supplied for now even with disruptions to production in Libya," he said.

Weekly U.S. oil inventory data from industry group API showed on Wednesday that petroleum stocks had risen 163,000 barrels last week, after analysts polled by Reuters had forecast a bigger rise of 1.2 million barrels.

Distillate inventories fell a less-than-expected 534,000 barrels and gasoline supplies fell 1.6 million barrels, API data showed, bucking analyst expectations for a rise.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration's weekly inventory figures are due to be released later today.

The spread between Brent and U.S. crude widened to $15.66 at 0803 GMT, wider than the $13.28 close on Wednesday.

Education chief weighs in on union-busting

2011-02-17T04:18:50+01:00

DENVER – Education Secretary Arne Duncan says he's sticking up for teachers' unions in states where governors have threatened to shut them down.

Duncan wrapped up a two-day summit of union organizers, school board members and school administrators in Denver by saying he's "very concerned" about calls by governors in several states to bar teachers from organizing, or to limit their powers to bargain for pay and benefit.

Duncan says he plans to place a personal call to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican who has proposed ending bargaining rights for teachers there.

The education chief's remark won applause from the audience. The summit on improving labor-management relations in schools was attended by representatives from about 150 school districts in 40 states.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

DENVER (AP) — Over skits and snacks, hundreds of teachers from around the country on Wednesday got a soft sell from the U.S. Department of Education to become more open-minded about new pay and evaluation systems.

At the second and final day of the first national summit among teachers' unions, school administrators and board members representing some 150 districts from 40 states heard glowing reports from districts that have already shifted how they evaluate and train teachers.

The summit was billed by Education Secretary Arne Duncan as a groundbreaking effort to build trust between unions and the leaders who sometimes are their adversaries. Participants spent most of the short summit hearing how great things are in the dozen school districts presenting how they achieved pay-for-performance teacher compensation and other changes that align with what federal education officials say are needed reforms.

Those reforms are even more necessary now as states continue to grapple with massive budget shortfalls and scores of teachers face layoffs again this year, Duncan said in a conference call with reporters Wednesday. He said districts should ban "last hired, first fired" policies touted by unions as a way to protect seniority, just as districts should not lay off only older teachers simply because they are paid more.

"If you have to make tough calls, you have to figure out for the most disadvantaged communities how you keep your best talent," he said.

The summit was a whirlwind pitch covering 10 sweeping points federal educators want schools to consider, from evaluating teachers in new ways to handling layoffs demanded by budget cuts in many areas.

"There's so little time — they couldn't really go in depth, so they act like this is the easiest thing in the world, and we know that that's not so," said Earl Rickman, school board president in Mt. Clemens, Mich., which recently agreed to a merit-pay system with its teachers' union.

A sixth-grade teacher from Rickman's school district, Kevin Marvin, leads the teachers' union there and agreed the selling pitch for merit pay and other changes was a bit one-dimensional. But he gave high marks to the effort to remind school leaders that teachers are willing to make changes but need to be persuaded the reforms will help kids.

"Something we've never looked at is how our labor agreements affect student achievement," Marvin said.

Federal officers made clear schools have little choice but to make changes to how teachers are evaluated and trained. They tried to sell teachers and administrators on the idea that change is needed even when it's scary and painful. All sides agree that kids come first, but the unions and administrators were told they need to work harder to iron out what all sides don't agree on.

"Honestly accept the burden of the entire conversation, from aspirations to problem-solving to the tough conversations," said Brad Jupp, a senior program adviser for the U.S. Department of Education.

Jupp was moderating a panel in which a Denver teacher shared her anxieties when moving into the school district with a pay-for-performance system.

The teacher, Lori Nazareno of Denver's Math and Science Leadership Academy, explained that she came around to the idea after learning that teachers would be rewarded for working at traditionally low-performing schools and that student tests weren't the only standard used to measure teachers' performance.

"The opportunities for teacher leadership, teacher empowerment, teachers taking control of the system, that's significant," Nazareno said.

The rah-rah talk about education reforms was mixed in with skits from Chicago's famed Second City comedy troupe in which actors pretended to be a bickering union leader, superintendent and school board member.

It all seemed a bit hokey to some, but participants said the underlying theme is that changes are inevitable and don't have to be as painful as some fear.

"All the districts here are in the same boat. We're learning how to do this, how to work together," said Ralph Hernandez, school board president in Buffalo, N.Y.

Two big districts — New York City schools and Washington, D.C., schools — pulled out of the conference at the last minute because of ongoing disagreements between teachers' unions and district management. But Duncan and others stressed that the summit had a waiting list of 100 districts in addition to the 150 that attended.

"We have a whole set of districts that I think are frankly going to lead the country where we need to go," Duncan told reporters. "We have other districts that aren't quite there yet. That is reality, and we are going to work with those districts that can help to set this national conversation and do everything we can to move from a handful of superstars ... to a national movement."

U.S. hepatitis C cases down sharply since 1980s

2011-02-16T02:28:14+01:00

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – New infections of the liver with hepatitis C virus are far less common these days in the U.S. compared to the early 1980s, a new government study finds.

According to the new study by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the mid-1980s roughly 70 of every million Americans developed acute hepatitis C each year. Between 1994 and 2006, that rate was 90 percent lower: only 7 per million per year.

Over the years, however, injection drug users have accounted for a growing proportion of cases, and their risk of infection remains an important public health problem, the CDC researchers said in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

New infections with the hepatitis C virus usually aren't obvious. In most cases there are no symptoms at first; hepatitis C quietly damages the liver for years until it's finally diagnosed. But about two or three out of every 10 newly infected patients have what's called "acute hepatitis." They have fever and nausea, their skin gets yellow from jaundice because the liver isn't working properly, and in general they feel very sick.

Tracking rates of acute hepatitis C as they rise or fall gives researchers an idea of whether rates of silent new infections are rising or falling, too.

Hepatitis C is passed through contact with infected blood -- most often by sharing tainted needles -- although a small number of cases are sexually transmitted or passed from mother to baby during childbirth.

So far, efforts to curb hepatitis C transmission among drug users "have had success to some degree," said Dr. John Ward, director of the CDC's division of viral hepatitis, in an interview. Ward didn't work on the current new study, which was led by Dr. Ian T. Williams.

Dr. Williams and colleagues looked at rates of acute hepatitis C reported in six U.S. counties between 1982 and 2006.

In addition to finding that the rate of new infections had dropped, they made some discoveries about certain high-risk groups.

Among people receiving transfusions, for example, the risk of infection from hepatitis C virus in the blood has steadily declined over time, with only five possible cases identified between 1994 and 2006. Since 1992, all donated blood in the U.S. has been tested for hepatitis C, and the risk of receiving a donation carrying the virus is now estimated at one in 2 million, according to the CDC.

The number of cases reportedly related to injection drug use also declined over time. But drug abuse accounted for a growing proportion of acute hepatitis C infections, rising from about 32 percent of cases in the 1980s to at least 46 percent for the years 1994 through 2006.

In another third of cases, there was no clear risk factor, but most of those people reported past drug abuse.

Efforts to curb HIV transmission among injection drug users -- through education and needle-exchange programs, for example -- have been very effective, according to Ward.

But it's proven harder to battle hepatitis C, he explained, because it spreads more easily than HIV. Even a faint amount of blood on a shared needle, for example, might be enough to transmit hepatitis C.

The knowledge of what to do to prevent hepatitis C among injection drug users "is just not as deep as it is for HIV," Ward said.

The other ongoing public health concern with hepatitis C is the large number of Americans with chronic infection who may develop serious liver disease in the future. It's estimated that 3.2 million Americans are living with chronic hepatitis C, Ward said, and about half are unaware of it.

These people often develop inflammation of the liver, scarring of the liver tissue (cirrhosis) and, in some cases, liver cancer. In the U.S. and many other countries, hepatitis C is the most common reason why people need liver transplants.

The CDC recommends that people with risk factors for the infection -- including anyone with a history of injection drug use, and those who received a blood transfusion or organ transplant before 1992 -- be tested for hepatitis C.

Once an infection is discovered, doctors can do regular blood tests of liver function to catch early signs of liver disease. And there are drugs for hepatitis C that can clear the virus in some people.

Regarding the lower rates of new infections, Ward told Reuters Health, "That's great news."

"It shows that prevention can work," he added. "But our work is not done."

Support for Australian government tumbles after disasters

2011-02-07T09:17:03+01:00

CANBERRA (Reuters) – The Australian government's support has slipped to dangerously low levels following a summer of natural disasters and as Prime Minister Julia Gillard fights for a new tax to pay for flood and cyclone reconstruction, a new poll found on Monday.

If an election was held today Gillard would be swept from office, according to the Newspoll in the Australian newspaper.

Primary support for the ruling Labor party had slipped to 32 percent, 6 points lower than in last August's dead heat election. On a two-party basis, which is a better indication of who would win an election, Labor trails with 48 percent compared with 52 percent for the conservative opposition.

But in some good news for the government, the Newspoll found 55 percent support for Gillard's plan for a special "floods tax" on middle- and high-income families to raise about A$1.8 billion ($1.8 billion) to help pay for disaster reconstruction.

"Julia Gillard may have won the policy fight on her plan for a flood levy but it seems she has lost the politics of a summer of disasters," The Australian's political editor Dennis Shanahan wrote on Monday.

Australia's northeast has been hit by a series of floods and cyclones over the summer, with at least 35 killed and 30,000 homes inundated in Queensland state, where floodwaters also wiped out roads, bridges and rail lines.

Floods also hit New South Wales and Victoria, while bushfires are currently burning around the Western Australian state capital of Perth, where dozens of houses have been razed.

Early estimates of damage have topped A$10 billion, with the national government to pay for around 75 percent of the costs. Gillard has promised more cuts to the national budget to fund infrastructure reconstruction following the disasters.

The government plans to introduce laws into parliament on Thursday for a special floods tax to last 12 months from July.

But Greens and independent lawmakers, who Gillard relies on for a majority in the lower house of parliament, have yet to agree to the package.

The government's primary support in the Newspoll is the lowest since the party dumped former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in favor of Gillard last June.

Gillard refused to comment on the polls on Monday, only saying the government was focused on the task of helping communities recover from the summer disasters.

But Gillard announced a new body to oversee spending on reconstruction, to be led by former conservative finance minister John Fahey, to head off opposition criticism of the government's handling of big spending programs.

Opposition leader Tony Abbott stepped up his attack on the new floods tax on Monday, saying the government was addicted to new taxes and cannot be trusted to spend the money properly.

He made no direct comment on the polls, but told a meeting of the opposition cabinet that he remained committed to bring down the government.

"We don't know what's going to happen this year; we do know that we will be doing everything we humanly can to try to get rid of a bad government by holding a bad government to account and by doing our best to be a credible alternative," Abbott said.

Transport and Infrastructure Minister Anthony Albanese played down the poll, and said Gillard continued to hold a 13-point lead over Abbott as preferred prime minister.

"To get over-excited about it is I think a wrong response," Albanese told Australian radio.

Suarez debut delights Liverpool manager Dalglish

2011-02-03T16:39:15+01:00

LIVERPOOL, England (AFP) – Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish promised more to come from Luis Suarez after revealing the Uruguay striker had not even trained with his new side before marking his Premier League debut with a goal.

Suarez ensured Liverpool supporters, dejected by the loss of Fernando Torres to Chelsea on Monday, had a new hero after coming off the substitutes' bench to score in the 2-0 victory over Stoke at Anfield here on Wednesday.

The 22.6 million signing from Dutch side Ajax gave Reds fans disheartened by a season of under-achievement reason to be hopeful after rounding keeper Asmir Begovic and although Andy Wilkinson got a boot to the striker's shot, he could only help it into the net off the post.

Suarez is now in line to start Liverpool's game with Chelsea on Sunday after an eye-catching 27 minute display.

And Dalglish, arguably Liverpool's greatest striker, believes Suarez will get even better as he adapts to the demands of the Premier League.

"He has not even had the opportunity to train with us," said Dalglish.

"There was administration stuff that needed to be sorted out. He got his work permit on Tuesday and was in the squad Wednesday. He has a big smile on his face every day. It is great to score on your debut and he worked hard."

Liverpool head for a reunion with Torres with their confidence sky high. They remain seventh in the Premier League but are just two points behind sixth-placed Sunderland after a third successive league win and a third straight clean sheet.

However, Dalglish refused to get carried away, particularly as Chelsea will kick-off with a nine-point advantage over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

"It's an old adage and I'm sure you'll cringe, but we will just take each game that comes along," the former Scotland forward insisted.

"That is all we will do and then at the end of the season we will add our points up and see what we have got.

"We will not get carried away -- there is a lot of hard work ahead. Three clean sheets is always a bonus and always a help.

"It has been a busy week. We have been in the papers more than we have wanted to be, but great credit to the players, they have just gone on with it. We have a group of players who want to compete for everything."

Andy Carroll, who Liverpool signed from Newcastle for 35 million on Monday as a replacement for Torres, witnessed the Stoke victory, but the striker is still several weeks away from making his debut because of a damaged thigh.

But Dalglish believes an in-form Suarez and a fully fit Carroll is an exciting prospect for Liverpool fans.

"Andy is going to be a few weeks before he is fit," he added. "But we bought him for five years so being out for a few weeks wont do us any harm."

Even Stoke manager Tony Pulis was full of praise for Suarez.

"I don't think you need me. . . .it's all about their new lad isn't it?" he said after his side's third defeat in four league games.

"We're quite happy for the lad to claim it (the second goal). If I was Kenny, if he was half a yard near it then it's his goal."

Un site pas grippé!

2011-01-29T10:30:21+01:00

Avec l’hiver reviennent chaque hiver les mêmes maux et un surtout un même mot : Grippe

Cette satanée grippe fait peur dans l’entreprise. Grand Mari se méfie, moi aussi.
Faudrait pas qu’il la chope et que je me retrouve seule à gérer les nains…

Mais moi, j’ai une botte secrète ! C’est le site internet bien nommé www.virus-grippe.fr.

Lancé, par Roche un des leaders de l’industrie pharmaceutique et diagnostique axée sur la recherche, ce site informe chaque membre de la famille, quel que soit son âge, sur la grippe pour mieux s’en prémunir. Jeune maman, enfant, ado, senior… à chacun son espace pour acquérir ou bien se remémorer les bons réflexes pour « tenir à distance » les virus grippaux.

Là où c’est vraiment sympa, c’est que le site propose des infos, des recommandations, des jeux et des espaces distincts pour chaque âge.

Pour les ados, par exemple, il y a un espace ludique où ils peuvent apprendre en s'amusant et essayer de chopper Bad Grip. Pour les enfants, une bande dessinée leur permet de découvrir les gestes pour tenir la grippe en respect. Les femmes enceintes ou les jeunes parents ont aussi un espace où ils trouvent des infos sur des questions sur la grippe et la grossesse, la grippe et le nourrisson, la grippe et l’enfant en bas âge… Et bien sûr un espace pour les seniors.

Mais moi, MOI, moi ce qui me plaît le plus c’est la carte « Météo Grippe ».

Grâce à elle, on peut suivre l’évolution de l’épidémie grippale en France, région par région. Et se tirer ainsi en vacances avec une bonne excuse.

« Cher Grand Mari d’amour, j’ai eu la grippe à l’âge de 15 ans, et elle m’a rétamée 15 jours. Une vraie loque, une vraie larve j’étais. Même s’il est vrai qu’elle m’avait perdre trois kilos (alors qu’à l’époque j’avais rien de trop), je ne veux pas prendre le risque d’être absente de l’entreprise durant deux semaines ET de contaminer nos petits. Je pars donc une semaine, le temps que ça se tasse. »

Tu fais pas le malin, hein Bad Grip!

Bon ben voilà, ça fait 4 jours que j'ai la fraking grippe.

C'est comme les voeux de Bonne Année, on peut difficilement y échapper (Balibulle s'est fait vacciner et l'a attrapée le lendemain, que voulez-vous que je vous dise ?)

Les avantages :

- je fais des économies de maquillage et ma peau respire (j'ai dû mettre un peu de fond de teint pour aller chez le doc, quand même, j'avais peur d'effrayer la pharmacienne)

- j'ai plus ou moins cessé l'alimentation, je vais donc perdre quelques kilos

- je découvre des programmes incroyables à la télé.

Réveillée par la fièvre à 5h30, je peux comater devant:

Rigolez pas, le mercredi, y a une nana qui s'appelle Stéphanie et qui donne des cours d'Urban Dance. Elle m'épate, elle tient l'émission toute seule et elle a même pas l'air débile. Respect, Stéphanie !

(moi, par contre, j'ai l'air débile de regarder une émisison de sport avec 2 de tension)

- y en a deux qui sont ravies que leur maîtresse reste à la maison :

Les inconvénients :

- je me lève avec des maux de tête tels que... je me recouche

- j'ai des courbatures jusqu'au bout des orteils

- je ne peux plus prononcer un seul M, que des B

- dès que j'avalerai un grain de riz, je vais me reprendre les quelques kilos perdus dans les dents

- après m'être levée à 5h30, je me recouche à 9h, pour me relever à midi.

Résultat, à 2 heures du mat, j'arrive toujours pas à dormir et je me retrouve à regarder un film d'horreur sur NRJ12 :

Le pire, c'est que c'était bien (sauf les passages gore où j'ai dû zapper, parce que bon, voilà) : le coup de la fille enfermée dans le métro parce qu'elle a raté le dernier, c'est quand même bien joué

- Après, quand je vais me coucher, à 2 heures du mat, je peux plus dormir parce que ça m'a trop angoissée

- C'est pas comme si c'était tombée au moment où j'avais 9 épisodes à adapter en 2 mois.

Parce que quand on est indépendant, on prend pas de congés maladie, on continue à bosser, parce que les délais vont pas s'allonger pour autant.

Heureusement, je bosse sur le GLEE de Noël pour me remonter le moral...

Grippe, ah, je viens de sniffer mon rail de h1n1...

2010-12-29T16:52:00+01:00

Et hop, toc, je suis vacciné contre la grippe et bien entendu, la souche H1N1. Il paraît qu'il y a des morts en Angleterre. Bon, je voulais vous donner des nouvelles depuis l'an dernier. Ah, tiens, je me servirais bien une seconde dose de squalène, moi.

Bon, déjà, je voulais vous rassurer, je n'ai pas muté, en dehors de ma troisième main et de mon deuxième cerveau, qui expliquent la cadence à laquelle je ponds des billets ici.

Pendant ce temps, la saisonnière se propage, et avec toutes les théories complotistes, les Français ont pris un mauvais pli. Ils ne se font pas vacciner, alors que le seuil épidémique vient d'être franchi dans plusieurs régions de France.

Par rapport à l'an dernier, cela commence à monter au moment même où cela redescendait. Mais si l'on compare à 2008-2009, la progression est à peu près similaire, tout cela d'après google, toutefois.

Le vaccin de cette année est multi-souche et devient efficient au bout de 10 jours à deux semaines environ.
