Swine Flu Requires Lengthier Stay at Home Process as Prevention Mechanism
Two separate studies were performed to research the dreaded H1N1 pandemic virus
Studies were conducted recently at Laval University, which is located in Quebec City, and the Tan Tock Seng Hospital, which is located in Singapore. The studies were performed in an attempt to learn more about the contagiousness of the dreaded H1N1 pandemic virus that is commonly labeled as swine flu.
The study at Laval University included the utilization of cutting-edge polymerase chain reaction technology on 43 individuals infected with swine flu as well as family members who share the same household. Dr. Gaston De Serres, a member of the staff at Quebec City's Laval University, commented on the results that they discovered, saying, "We detected live virus. We cannot say [patients are] contagious but they have the potential to be."
At the Tan Tock Seng Hospital, another elaborately detailed study was performed to discover information about the accuracy of pre-conceived notions regarding the contagiousness of the H1N1 pandemic virus. Dr. David Chien Lye concluded that a staggering 80 percent of the 70 individuals who were tested continued to show symptoms of swine flu after oseltamivir treatment.
These studies disprove information that was released earlier in the year by The U.S. Center for Disease Control. They had announced that people should wait for at least a day and no longer than three to four days to resume normal everyday activities in when in actuality, they should wait for at least a week.
