Revelation 6:7,8 NCV When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.
Peruvian officials are showing concern about an outbreak of the H1N1 “swine flu” that has killed at least five people in the impoverished country.
The Ministry of Health confirmed the number of identified cases has jumped from 46 to 73. They also confirmed the third death was a 38-year-old police officer who died within 48 hours of admission to St. Joseph’s hospital.
The government is dealing with an unexpected shortfall of Tamiflu to fight the disease. The government had ordered three million doses of the drug but the medication is not reaching the majority of towns outside of the capital city of Lima.
The shortage is causing restrictions on immunization against swine flu to residents over 60 and women who are at least seven months pregnant.
One hospital received only 1500 doses of which 1000 had to be used on hospital staff leaving only 500 for potential patients.
