Some very weird stuff is going around. Had a flu that basically had no front end. No flu symptoms. Just bam, congested like you have never been. Caught it from someone who was working at a nuke plant. Kid you not. He said the nuke plant had ordered employees to not come in for two days if feeling sick.

Nothing suspicious about it. She got the flu. People young and old die from the flu. I contracted H1N1 about 4 years ago and literally thought I was going to die.

It happens

If you had the flu then you would know you had the flu. There’d be no doubt in your mind.

“Did anyone else on that flight die?”

Assuming she DID fly, it’s possible that TPTB, CDC, etc., are investigating all passengers on the flight to confirm their health now. Oh, wait ... she’s not an illegal alien so her health isn’t important.

“Nothing suspicious about it. She got the flu.”

Healthy 26 year olds rarely die from the flu.

No other cases of swine flu were reported in the area.

Meningitis will kill the healthiest of people in a matter of hours.

“Odd. No other reported cases of swine flu in San Diego, yet Bre gets it.
Doesn’t add up. “

No. It does add up. My hate for traitors is up.

“Meningitis will kill the healthiest of people in a matter of hours.”

I see a TV commercial sometimes about parents having their kids vaccinated before heading off to college. It says death can occur in 24 hours.

Sounds like it hit her while she was sleeping so perhaps she wasn’t alert to know something was wrong.

“If er immune system was down due to over working trying to get home for holiday she was susceptible to anything!!!”

The opposite is probably the case. People with very robust, or very weak immune systems are at highest risk of death. In the case of the weak system, they succumb as you would expect. In the case of a robust one, it causes a brutal immune response and the fever and fluid buildup in the lungs kills them.

It’s counterintuitive, but the most likely to survive the flu are you average, everyday, run of the mill middle-aged guys.

This is why the old, children, and very fit people in their 20s drop dead from this stuff.

Yes, you feel like you have a cold, then the flu, and by the time you get help, you are near death.

That’s why they have Meningitis Vaccines.

My cousin’s sister in law got the human version of mad cow disease.

The odds are in the millions.

If she was ANY type of media personality I would have thought conspiracy all over the place.

The sad truth is just that bad sh.t happens to good people every day.

“She is young after all. And less likely to get sick than an elderly traveler.”

Here’s a good article on the counterintuitive ideas of who dies from a flu. Based on the 1918 flu.

There was an earlier thread about her being in the hospital, but it didn’t identify her beyond the name. I figured it was someone’s relative.

At least this thread has some info. Thanks.

Very sad news. I hope there is an investigation of the source of the virus, and the public informed.

Prayers for Bre, her friends, and her family. This is difficult to believe.

There’s nothing to report. They didn’t report that I got H1N1. It’s such a common occurrence now it’s literally nothing to report

Not accurate. Some of the flu varieties are more likely to hit the younger victims harder than the older folks who have developed partial immunity through exposure to a similar variant earlier in life.

just find myself questioning why its always conservative reporters dying young

Exactly, what are the odds? We know that historically when socialists take over, they often very quickly reveal themselves to be full-fledged communists and set about murdering all their political opponents. What is less well-known is how many they murder before they take over, typically anyone they view as a real threat. Bre was one such person; she was bright and had a following. Andrew Breitbart was another.

The “Spanish flu” of 1918-19 seemed to kill the young & healthy more than flu’s normal targets: the very young and the very old. For a decent description of how bad it was, you might want to check out:
