Influenza A H3N2 has been detected in Antigua and Barbuda

10

The Ministry of Health Wellness and the Environment would like to advise the public that Influenza A H3N2 has been detected in Antigua and Barbuda.

Influenza is a respiratory disease that is caused by the Influenza virus that affects the nose, throat and lungs.

The Influenza A and B viruses are responsible for seasonal flu epidemics seen each year usually between October and February.

The new cases were identified in three children who have recovered.

The Influenza A virus is spread mainly by droplets when people with the flu talk, cough or sneeze. Less often, a person might get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes.

Prevention includes social and physical distancing, cough and sneeze etiquette, regular hand washing and sanitization of frequently touched surfaces.

Symptoms of Influenza A or flu infections include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches and headaches. Some persons may have vomiting and diarrhea.

Illness can be severe or mild and can lead to death.

The elderly and children are more susceptible to severe disease and complications such as pneumonia and death. Particular attention must be made to these age groups if they exhibit flu symptoms.

Influenza can be prevented through vaccination with the Influenza vaccine. This is available to the general public at the main health centers in Antigua and Barbuda.

iThe elderly population and health care workers are encouraged to get vaccinated against Influenza by getting the Influenza or flu vaccine.

  1. Why is this news? They have discovered a flus strain which is not new and has the same symptoms as regular flu? Is Pfizer looking for a new market for their combined COVID/Infuenza vaccine? No thankyou. I’ll drink some fever grass tea

  2. So, is this the first time a cold/ flu virus circulated in Antigua?

    Unequivocally, no j.a.b. in the arm creating antibodies in the blood can prevent you from getting infected with a RESPIRATORY virus. NONE ! Mucosal immunity is the only protection for respiratory viruses. A nasal spray type of vaccine MAY be effective.

    Choose to get adequate sunlight or take vitamin D if direct sun exposure is not an option.
    Vitamins A,C,D and Zinc to strengthen your immune system — A & D are fat soluble so have some fats when taking them.

    Make the BROOM to sweep out pathogens.
    Recipe: Apple cider vinegar, lemon, garlic, onion, ginger, turmeric, horseradish, cayenne pepper thyme. Chop and soak these ingredients in the vinegar for a minimum of two weeks – the longer the better. Use a dark coloured glass jar or wrap a clear jar with foil paper to protect from light.
    Do not use a jar with a metal cover — vinegar corrodes metal.
    Reduce your intake of mucus forming foods (eg milk) during respiratory illnesses.
    Remember the old adage: Feed a Cold — Starve a Fever.

    Cold , Chicken soup… Fever, fluids.

  4. On a similar note, regarding flu vaccinations. The G20 have just given the ok for the development of vaccine passports in the not too distant future.

    Could this mean that Antiguan passport holding nationals being exiled again?

    What the hell is going on?

    Why won’t these evil despots give up this losing battle?

    • Oh, and by the way citizens of Antigua & Barbuda the documentary, ‘Died Suddenly’ has just been released on Rumble.

      A warning though, some of the scenes are very harrowing to watch, however, for the sake of you and your loved ones health, this documentary gives the whole PLANDEMIC an up to date view and shows some of the devastating effects from the vaccine roll-outs.

      STAY SAFE ONE AND ALL 🙏

  5. I gladly took the 2 shots of Vaccine and the booster. This time I am very skeptical to take another and in such short order. The next thing is how the ministry of health is putting out this information. Just tell us that in the USA right now that the hospitals and the health system is overrun with children and that this flu is more potent. Tell us that it is seriously affecting children all around the world. We do follow regional and international news . So tell us that in Barbados and Jamaica is seriously affecting the health system , especially the children. When government and public officials hide information from the public, the situation gets worst.
    I also heard the suggestion that the reason why is it affecting children so badly, is because they were not exposed the viruses over the past few years. Since they were mostly at home on lock down and wearing mask. That as a result their immune system has been compromised or weakened.
    Mrs. Thomas – Chief medical officer please come out and tell us the truth. Minister of Health time to come straight. We have entire classes that are home from school due to severe flu like symptoms. Ministry of Education are the schools private and public reporting.
    China is still on lock down/ zero tolerance with the Covid 19 . Did you see the meeting with the US President and the Chinese . The entire Chinese delegation were fully protected as if they knew something that wecdo not . We are living in serious times. END TIMES.

  6. Are you also seeing an increase in cancers since the ‘jab’ has been introduced? (past 18 months)
    I know people who recently have found that they have had a rapid onset of cancer and have never been vaccinated, so my question is: Are the SPIKE PROTEINS being shed by people who have taken the ‘vaccine’ causing these cancers?

    • Oh my goodness,we really have to be careful with our health,we should keeep our digestive system clean,regular detox,and building up of the immune system with regular herbs in the natural form.Most Of all,Trust in th MOSTHIGH,I know the most peope dont think tha he exists,but he does,all of the pharmaceuticals are spiritual warfare…stay prayed up

    • Why you dont go dig a deep deep hole and then full it back up, when you’re done just do it again….. you spent so much time typing shit.

  7. @Angel you are on point with the explosion of cancer since the jab. The US and other highly jabbed countries are showing as much as 400% increases. They will not tell us, but here in Antigua, cancer is exploding, with no respect to age. It is sad that there are those who know but keep silent. If anyone wants to know what to expect, just check the side effects of the mRna poisons by reading the Pfizer papers.
