Two more people with Influenza A (H1N1) have died in Singapore after developing complications. They were a 51-year-old Indian woman with Down's Syndrome and high body mass index (BMI) and a 78-year-old man with no medical history. This brings the total death tally from H1N1 to eight in three weeks. The woman with Down's syndrom died on Wednesday afternoon from pneumonia. She had gone to Tan Tock Seng Hospital's emergency department on that day after having flu-like symptoms for three days. There, she had breathing difficulties and low blood pressure and died later. The elderly man had no medical history and died on Thursday morning after having fever and shortness of breath for a day. While in the intensive care unit, his condition worsened and he died from a heart attack, with pneumonia as a contributing factor.

The H1N1 flu is killing innocent people. Get help from doctor if you are unwell.
Especially true for peoplr who is obese.
Anyway, the doctor will prescribe Tamiflu for the H1N!.
Another report found that Tamiflu is not suitable for children due to the side effects.
Hope the scientist will do something to rectify the problem.
