...audience. The foxes are entirely civilized until it comes to meals; then they gobble feverishly and without restraint. Kylie is a loyal sidekick but not the brightest opossum in all the land; when confused, his eyes transform into dazed little bull's eyes. A beagle with a case of "chronic rabies" is used to great effect, and Boggis (Robin Hurlstone), Bunce (Hugo Guinness) and Bean (Michael Gambon) are brilliantly realized. Stop-motion is clearly a laborious business, but what shows in Anderson's film is not the work, but the joy derived from a craft used to maximum effect...
Until now, the CDC's weekly updates on the number of new cases, hospitalizations and deaths from the disease have included only laboratory-confirmed cases of H1N1 - a figure that agency officials were well aware captured only a sliver of the actual population of affected Americans. Many patients who come down with flu never go to a hospital or see a doctor and never get an official diagnosis. Many other flu patients who are admitted to the hospital may not be tested for H1N1 and may be treated under a different diagnosis. They may die from a complication, such...
...hospital where testing is not possible," Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters at a briefing on Thursday. "We also know that not every patient with influenza gets a diagnosis of flu. For influenza it's virtually impossible to find every case with a lab test. So the estimation method we are using now we believe gives a bigger picture, a probably more accurate picture of the full scope of the pandemic." (See the top 5 swine...
Schuchat stressed that the numbers do not reflect any change in the spread of the virus or the course of the disease. The researchers simply applied a unique multiplier to each set of data in order to come up with the estimates. With respect to the number of cases of H1N1 infection, for example, CDC scientists believe that for every one case that is reported and confirmed with a laboratory test, there are 79 additional ones that go unrecorded. For every documented case of H1N1 hospitalization, there are an estimated 2.7 that are missed...
...support health officials' decision to target high-risk populations for the first immunizations. Of all hospitalized Americans, more than half were between ages 18 and 64, while only 9% were 65 or older. That distribution is the opposite of the way seasonal flu usually affects a community; in that case, 90% of hospitalizations are usually among the elderly...
