Instead, you need to take care of your body (I’m not a doctor and not trying to tell you what to do) by getting sunlight or taking Vitamin D, drink plenty of water, manage your stress level, and eat plenty of whole foods. But you don’t need a flu shot that’s only 10 percent effective and comes with a host of potential problems. This year’s strain of flu, H3N2, has been knocking people out- hard. Initially, doctors wondered whether numbers in Santa Barbara were higher because of preexisting lung problems from the Thomas Fire but now that the rest of California seems to be getting hit just as hard that theory has been discarded. Charity Dean, the public health “czar” for Santa Barbara County is extremely worried because she’s not seen numbers like these in the last decade  the number of patients who are testing positive for the flu at local hospitals and health clinics is off the charts, local emergency rooms are slammed, reportedly experiencing a threefold increase in number of patients reporting flu-like symptoms, and emergency room waiting times have gotten much longer as a result.

CBS: ‘Flu-pocalypse’ predicted due to ineffective flu shots, doctors sayĭr.Our thoughts and prayers are with their families. But sadly, in the last two weeks eight Santa Barbara County residents have died from the flu and seven of them had their flu shot (all eight were 65 or older). And even though the flu shot doesn’t work particularly well this season either (it’s about 10% effective), health officials still want you to get it. So only people with the paralytic infection are considered to have the disease.Scientists were worried this year that “flu season” was going to be especially rough and that’s proving to be true. Note that “poliomyelitis” (or “polio” for short) is defined as the paralytic disease. Between 2 and 10 out of 100 people who have paralysis from poliovirus infection die, because the virus affects the muscles that help them breathe.Įven children who seem to fully recover can develop new muscle pain, weakness, or paralysis as adults, 15 to 40 years later. Paralysis is the most severe symptom associated with poliovirus because it can lead to permanent disability and death. Paralysis (can’t move parts of the body) or weakness in the arms, legs, or both occurs in about 1 out of 200 people to 1 in 2000 people, depending on virus type.Meningitis (infection of the covering of the spinal cord and/or brain)occurs in about 1–5 out of 100 people with poliovirus infection, depending on virus type.These symptoms usually last 2 to 5 days, then go away on their own.Ī smaller proportion of people with poliovirus infection will develop other, more serious symptoms that affect the brain and spinal cord: Most people who get infected with poliovirus will not have any visible symptoms.Ībout 1 out of 4 people (or 25 out of 100) with poliovirus infection will have flu-like symptoms that can include:
