H1N1 Virus Kills Cornell Student
A Cornell University junior died Friday because of complications from the H1N1 flu virus, a Cornell Daily Sun story carried by UWire says. Warren Schor, a 20-year-old from Clinton Corners, N.Y., was an economics and management major.
Officials estimate that more than 400 Cornell students had been diagnosed with flulike symptoms. Inside Higher Ed reports that at least two college students in the United States have died from the flu this school year.
"We wish to convey our heartfelt condolences to [Schor's family] and to his many friends," Cornell President David Skorton said in a release on the university's Web site. "Please keep them in your thoughts in the following days."

H1N1
My step-granddaughter (healthy, 30) also died from complications of H1N1. She had difficulty breathing, and was also put into a coma because being intubated is stressful and wastes oxygen. We were told she developed pneumonia/pulmonary distress syndrome and ultimately her other organs failed for want of oxygen.
prayers
My prayers are with this family. No explanations can replace their loss, regardless of the cause.
