A 29-year-old mother of three children (Alice Jones) Alice Jones died in the hospital on Sunday due to this year's influenza virus. This is also the 17th death caused by the influenza virus in Dallas this year. Jones' entire illness lasted only four days.

The family said Jones was a very hard-working nurse and she had always been in good health. She and her husband have three children, aged 10, 7 and 3 years old. Her husband had just returned from serving in Afghanistan less than a month ago.

Last Tuesday, both he and his wife had cold symptoms. By the weekend, he felt much better, but Jones still had a fever, sore throat, and splitting headache. She went to a nearby pharmacy to buy some over-the-counter medicines, but she still felt bad on Saturday, so she went to the emergency room of the affiliated hospital. The doctor gave her a lot of medicine. On Sunday, she started to feel short of breath. At that time, her family thought it might be caused by the anxiety caused by the flu.

They felt that the hospital wanted to do CT, but it was too late. The doctor insisted that the three children be tested for the flu, and it turned out that one of the boys tested positive. The grieving husband said that if his wife had not died, maybe my son would also have died.

Now, he recommends that all people who don’t have a flu vaccine get one as soon as possible. Influenza outbreaks occur every year from October to April, with peak levels in January and February.

As of early January, the H1N1 new influenza was reported to be raging in more than 20 states across the United States. In addition to the emergency situation in Dallas, many large hospitals in Oregon have announced the latest regulations such as restricting the entry and exit of visitors to prevent the spread of the influenza epidemic. Providence Health & Services announced on the 8th that eight branches in Oregon will have visitor restrictions starting today. Visitors must be close relatives of patients and must be over 18 years old before they can enter; visitors must be over 18 years old before entering the fertility center, pediatrics and intensive care unit, and each patient can only accept two visitors at a time.
