  We have 36,000 deaths from influenza on a seasonal basis so this influenza does cause death and it's not unusual," said Dr. Ann Marie Kimball, Professor of Epidemiology and Health Services at the University of Washington.
  
  The victim was a Snohomish County man in his mid 30s with an underlying heart condition. He first showed symptoms of the virus on April 30 and was given anti-viral medication.. But doctors say he developed viral pneumonia and died on May 6.
  ...
  "It really is a very easily transmittable virus it's moving all over the world and we're getting to know it's the usual spectrum of illness related to influenza," said Kimball.

  "Medical tourism is obviously a route for pathogen spread," Kimball said, noting that different hospitals in different regions may have different types of flora."The extent to which it's a problem versus a theoretical concern is as yet not known," she said."I can't issue a blank 'go' or 'don't go,'" she added.
  ...
  Kimball said she urges potential medical tourists to talk it over with their own physician.As the concept and the practice of medical tourism has evolved, she said, a physician is not likely to automatically rule out the idea.

  Officials will continue to focus on the swine flu virus, figuring out not just how it transmits and why it is striking now, but what to do next.
  
  "Health officials have to prepare for the upcoming flu season in the fall. That means they have to make decisions now on what kind of vaccine should be prepared," said Kimball, who expects those decisions to be made by the first of June.
