  • Re: Ukraine: at least 30 die of possible/confirmed swine flu - most were "young and healthy"

    There's a lot of political stuff in this article, but some important information.

    Самые актуальные и свежие новости Украины и мира на Главред. Последние новости во всем мире: политика, спорт, знаменитости, наука вместе с glavred.info.


    Swine influenza in Ukraine: what makes power and what do you
    Александр Михельсон, Наталья Сарбаева, ?Главред?, 30.10.09 // 19:11 Alexander Michelson, Natalia Sarbaeva, "Glavred", 30.10.09 / / 19:11
    Так называемый ?свиной грипп? диагностирован и в Украине. So-called "swine flu" was diagnosed and in Ukraine. Об этом объявил в пятницу министр здравоохранения Василий Князевич. This was announced on Friday, Health Minister Vasyl Knyazevych.
    Еще днем ранее г-н Князевич на внеочередном заседании Кабмина заверял премьера Юлию Тимошенко, что точные данные о природе вируса, спровоцировавшего ряд смертей в западных регионах страны, могут быть появиться не ранее следующей недели. Even the day before Mr. Knyazevich at an extraordinary Cabinet meeting assured the prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, that precise information about the nature of the virus triggered a series of deaths in the western regions of the country may appear to be no earlier than next week.


    - Я думаю, - нервно говорил министр, сидевший, по такому случаю, непосредственно рядом с премьером, - что в понедельник-вторник смогу здесь, на Кабмине, доложить о тех данных, которые мы получим из лаборатории в Лондоне. - I think - nervously told the Minister, who was sitting on that occasion, directly next to the prime minister - that on Monday and Tuesday I could here in the Cabinet, to report on the data that we receive from a laboratory in London. Поскольку мы направили запрос туда, так как окончательно природу вируса наши лаборатории установить могут не всегда? Since we sent a request to go there, because ultimately the nature of the virus, our laboratory set may not always ...


    На этом моменте министр несколько растерянно посмотрел на главу МИДа Петра Порошенко. At this moment the Minister a few glanced at the head of the Foreign Ministry Peter Poroshenko.


    - И я надеюсь, что если мы, в случае необходимости, как бы, обратимся к международным организациям, министерство иностранных дел нас поддержит? - And I hope that if we, if necessary, as it were, we turn to international organizations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will support us?


    Господин Порошенко активно закивал головой. Poroshenko actively nodded.


    - Значит, так, - решительно сказала Тимошенко. - So, so - emphatically said Tymoshenko. ? Вы, Василий Михайлович, прямо в течение этого заседания подготовьте проекты поручений, чтобы все телеканалы, все газеты информировали граждан о том, что есть вот такие симптомы, и что к врачам нужно обращаться скорее? А вы, Александр Валентинович, - обратилась она к первому вице-премьеру Турчинову, - подготовьте на понедельник внеочередное заседание правительства и заседание чрезвычайной комиссии по приотиводействию эпидемиям и эпизоотии. - You, Vasily Mikhailovich, right in the course of this meeting, prepare a draft mandate that all television stations, all newspapers to inform citizens that there is now such symptoms and that doctors should be dealt with soon ... And you, Alexander V., - she turned to First Deputy Prime Minister Turchinov - prepare for Monday extraordinary session of the Government and the emergency meeting of the Commission on priotivodeystviyu epidemics and epizootics.


    На всех этих сложных словах Тимошенко не запнулась ни разу. In all these complicated words Tymoshenko not faltered once. Зато, к восторгу телевизионщиков, в течение речи она пару раз кашлянула. But to the delight of TV, during the speech, she coughed a few times.


    Хотя украинцы уже умирали от неизвестного вируса, через призму политики возможная эпидемия виделась не более чем ярким шоу. Although the Ukrainians have already died from an unknown virus from a policy perspective a possible epidemic was seen no more than a vivid show.


    Но уже в пятницу ситуация резко обострилась. But on Friday the situation has sharply deteriorated. Не ситуация с больными, нет: по имевшимся на 19 часов пятницы данным, в стране имелось под тысячу госпитализированных с диагнозом ?отсрые респираторные заболевания? и ?пневмония?. Not the situation with patients, no: available for 19 hours this Friday, the country had a thousand hospitalized with a diagnosis of "otsrye respiratory illness" and "pneumonia".


    В то же время, пока достоверно известно о том, что от ?вируса гриппа AH1/M1? - то есть ?свиного гриппа? - погибли только четверо украинцев. At the same time, yet reliably known that from "the flu virus AH1/M1? - that is, "swine flu" - died only four Ukrainians. Сейчас, к слову, Всемирная организация здравоохранения называет этот грипп не ?свиным?, а ?калифорнийским?. Now, by the way, the World Health Organization calls this influenza is not "pork", and "California". Ведь в памяти человечества слишком свежи броские названия ?коровье бешенство? и ?птичий грипп?. After all, human memory is too fresh catchy name of "mad cow" and "avian flu". И, по мнению некоторых представителей этого человечества, обеспечивающих соплеменников мясом насущным, подобные термины нанесли их отраслям убытки, несоизмеримые с экономическими потерями от реальной пандемии. And, in the opinion of some representatives of humanity, providing fellow flesh pressing, such as terms of their industries have caused losses far beyond the economic losses from a real pandemic.


    В то же время нельзя забывать, что большие эпидемии начинаются с малых вспышек. At the same time we must not forget that the great epidemics begin from small outbreaks. И, возможно, если бы в Европе шестьсот лет назад были в ходу антиэпидемические стратегии, треть населения Франции, Италии, Германии и других регионов не вымерла бы от чумы в течение каких-то трех лет. And perhaps, if in Europe six hundred years ago were run antiepidemicheskie strategy, a third of the population of France, Italy, Germany and elsewhere have not died from the plague for some three years.


    Руководствуясь этой мудростью (хотя, возможно, и какой-либо другой), глава правительства сегодня на очередном внеочередном заседании Кабмина в пянтицу ввела карантин в девяти областях Украины. With this wisdom (although, perhaps, any other), head of the government today at the next extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet in pyantitsu imposed quarantine in nine regions of Ukraine. Именно ? во Львовской, Ивано-Франковской, Тернопольской, Закарпатской, Черновицкой, Ровенской, Волынской, Хмельницкой и Винницкой. It is - in the Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, Transcarpathian and Chernivtsi, Rivne, Volyn, Khmelnytsky and Vinnitsa.


    Также Тимошенко объявила о трехнедельных каникулах в школах, детских садах и ВУЗах. Tymoshenko also announced a three-week vacation in schools, kindergartens and universities. После чего ?героически? уехала в Тернополь ?разруливать? ситуацию с гриппом. Then "heroically" left in Ternopil "razrulivat" situation with the flu.


    Недоброжелатели Юлии Владимировны тут же вспомнили фотографии хрупкой женщины в вертолете и на табуретке во время наводнения на Западной Украине ? и с нетерпением стали ждать карточек Юли в маске и белом халатике. His detractors Yulia Vladimirovna immediately recalled photos of a fragile woman in the helicopter and on a stool during a flood in Western Ukraine - and waited impatiently cards Julia wearing a mask and a white robe.


    Лидер оппозиции тоже не дремал. The opposition leader also did not dozing. Он попытался эпидемией гриппа воспользоваться в политических целях. He tried to take advantage of flu epidemic for political purposes. Янукович не просто в очередной раз озвучил грозное желание отправить в отставку министра здравоохранения Василия Князевича, но и призвал всех коллег-политиков отказаться от митингов. Yanukovych is not just once again voiced by a formidable desire to dismiss the Health Minister Vasyl Knyazevich, but also urged all fellow politicians to abandon rallies. А в предвыборное время такое заявление дорого стоит! And in pre-election period such a statement is expensive!


    Более того, верная соратница ?Лидера? Анна Герман озвучила желание фракции немедленно созвать внеочередное пленарное заседание Рады, на котором надобно ?обсудить вопрос о том, насколько серьезной является угроза для распространения эпидемии по всей Украине и какие именно меры необходимо принять стране для остановки распространения этой болезни?. Moreover, a faithful ally of the Leader Anna Herman voiced a desire faction immediately convene an extraordinary plenary meeting of the Rada, which must "discuss the question of how serious a threat to the spread of the epidemic throughout Ukraine, and what measures need to take the country to stop the spread of the disease.


    Интересно, критериям 450 политиков могут оценить серьезность заболевания? Interestingly, the criteria of 450 politicians can assess the seriousness of the disease? А вот для введения чрезвычайного положения с полной концентрацией власти в одних руках ? хрупких женских либо натруженных шахтерских - масштабная эпидемия гриппа в стране подходит идеально. But for the state of emergency with a total concentration of power in the hands of one person - the fragile female or overworked miners - a large-scale influenza epidemic in the country is ideally suited.


    Что же до главы государства, то он ?срочно? (но на сутки позже Тимошенко) отреагировал по своей линии ? созвал внеочередное заседание Совета национальной безопасности и обороны. As far as the head of state, he "urgently" (but a day later Tymoshenko) responded on its line - convened an extraordinary meeting of the Council of National Security and Defense. В ходе совещания выяснилось, что Виктор Ющенко отказался от анонсированного ранее выступления на Софийской площади. During the meeting it became clear that Viktor Yushchenko abandoned the previously announced performances by the Sofia area. Напомним, 1 ноября в сопровождении концерта ведущих украинских рок- и альтернативных групп Президент собирался презентовать нации свою предвыборную программу. Recall, November 1, accompanied by a concert of leading Ukrainian rock and alternative groups, the President was going to present our nation's electoral program.


    Как заявила пресс-служба главы государства, армии дан приказ подготовить к разворачиванию военные госпиталя (интересно, что буквально часом раньше с таким предложением публично выступил экс-министр обороны Анатолий Грциенко). As stated by the press office of head of state, the army received orders to prepare for the unfolding military hospital (interesting that just an hour earlier with such a proposal was made public the ex-Defense Minister Anatoly Grtsienko). Они могут быть быстро перемещены в любой регион страны и, по уверениям чиновников, имеют ?все необходимые запасы медикаментов и техники для локализации эпидемических вспышек на ограниченной территории?. They can be quickly moved to any region of the country and, on the assurances of officials who have "all the necessary supplies of medicines and technology for the localization of epidemic outbreaks in a limited area."


    На этом политический расклад можно завершить, и вернуться к болезненным будням. This political alignment can be completed, and return to painful weekdays. Последние характеризуются в первую очередь тем, что официальные сообщения о сложившейся ситуации меняются буквально ежечасно. The latter are characterized primarily by the fact that official reports of the situation is literally changing every hour. На данный момент известно, что правительство распорядилось о закрытии всех ? без исключения ? учебных заведений страны. At the moment we know that the government ordered the closure of all - without exception - the country's schools. Пока ? сроком на три недели. So far - for three weeks.


    В свою очередь, Минздрав активно распространяет среди граждан информацию о том, как уберечься от инфекции. In turn, the Ministry of Health is actively disseminates information to citizens about how to protect themselves from infection. А если это не удалось ? как, по крайней мере, сохранить свою жизнь. And if it is not possible - as, at least, save their lives. Кстати, мы должны с оптимизмом заметить, что добиться второго легче, чем первого: смертность от вируса AH1/M1 во всем мире, включая даже гораздо менее развитые страны, чем Украина, составляет считанные доли процента. By the way, we need an optimistic note that to make a second better than the first: the death rate from the virus AH1/M1 around the world, including even the less developed countries than Ukraine, is a few percent.


    Итак: So:


    - Возраст большинства из тридцати умерших украинцев ? от 20 до 50 лет. - Age of the majority of the thirty dead Ukrainians - from 20 to 50 years. Но есть среди них и двое детей. But there are among them and two children. Особенно же легко вирус проникает в организм беременных женщин ? страшная статистика в Украине насчитывает два случая гибели будущих матерей вместе с плодом. Especially as easily the virus enters the body of pregnant women - the terrible statistics in Ukraine there are two cases of deaths of expectant mothers, along with the fruit. Таким образом, именно эти группы населения должны беречься больше всех. Thus, these groups should beware of all.


    - Протекание болезни осложняют уже имеющиеся сердечно-сосудистые заболевания, болезни органов дыхания, сахарный диабет, ожирение, общее ослабление иммунитета. - The course of the disease complicate existing cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, diabetes, obesity, general weakening of immunity.


    - Болезнь передается окружающим еще до первых клинических проявлений! - The disease is transmitted around even before the first clinical manifestation! Поэтому при малейшем кашле позаботьтесь о том, чтобы не передать вирус родным и коллегам. Therefore, at the slightest cough, take care not to transmit the virus to family and colleagues. Скорее всего, вируса у вас и нет ? но мало ли что. Most likely, you have a virus and there - but who knows what.


    - Вирус в течение нескольких часов сохраняется на поверхностях, до которых дотронулся больной человек! - A virus within a few hours remain on surfaces, to which he touched a sick man! Хотя, конечно, через кожу он не выделяется ? попасть на пальцы он может только с дыханием, кашлем или слюной. Although, of course, through the skin, he does not stand out - to get on his fingers, he can only breath, cough or spit.


    - Инкубационный период вируса ? 2 ? 4 недели. - The incubation period of the virus - 2 - 4 weeks. НО: BUT:


    - Уже через неделю после заражения визит к врачу может оказаться запоздалым. - A week after infection with a visit to the doctor may be too late.


    Таким образом, рецепт спасения выглядит классически: не стесняйтесь обращаться к медикам при первом признаке недомогания, меньше контактируйте с окружающими, употребляйте побольше витаминов и тщательно соблюдайте правила гигиены. Thus, the recipe looks classically rescue: do not hesitate to contact doctors at the first sign of discomfort, less contact with others, eat plenty of vitamins and carefully observe the rules of hygiene.


    И, конечно же, меньше паникуйте. And, of course, less panic. В конце концов, современная медицина не отрицает, что даже вирусные болезни ? они часто ?от нервов?. In the end, modern medicine does not deny that even a viral illness - they often "on the nerves."

        // 30.10.2009 // 20:56 //
        NEWS FLASH! Highest epidemic of swine flu in Ukraine!
        MIGnews.com.ua
        Health Minister Vasyl Knyazevych reported that 31 samples were taken from sick people in order to determine whether they fall under the diagnosis of swine flu, of which 11 cases have been confirmed. "It is the interpretation of the result," - he said, adding that on 29 October in Ukraine, 951 people were hospitalized with acute respiratory infections and influenza. As for 30 cases of death, recorded from 19 to 29 October, he reported that the sample was taken only in one case, and the diagnosis was confirmed (A (H1N1)).

        Since October 29 the Lviv Region prohibited excursions by bus in connection with influenza and acute respiratory viral infections, the chief sanitary doctor of the Lviv Region Roman Pavlyv reported.

        An epidemic of high pathogenic influenza A/H1N1 has begun when it became cold in the country, Health Minister of Ukraine Vasyl Knyazevych claimed. He reported that yesterday, on October 29 in Ternopil, the conference took place with the participation of leading experts. "According to preliminary results, we note that Ukraine has entered into the global pandemic zone, and (the country) Californian epidemic of influenza, or influenza A/H1N1 started. Preliminary analysis of samples taken from ill people and who went to the hospital confirms this diagnosis," - said Vasily Knyazevych.

        Vasily Knyazevych called on the population of Ukraine not engage in self-treatment, and go to hospital, UNIAN reports. "People died because they did not apply in time for doctors. The patients called the doctor at 5-7 days of illness, when it was impossible to help people" - the Minister said, assuring that Ukraine has enough drugs to treat this type of flu. Vasily Knyazevych assured that our doctors are competent in these matters.

        Today it became known about the death of five people Drohobycz and district. They died as a result of unknown virus, which caused lightning and severe form of pneumonia that is usually impossible to have physicians from Drohobycz, which have more than 20 and 35 years of service. Both doctors said that is not observed in their practice cases such swift action of the virus, which could not resist the strongest antibiotics. According to their data, the lungs of the dead were so impressed if they suffered from chronic pneumonia, and most of the dead were young people.

        Today President of Ukraine has appealed to the Prime Minister to ensure the allocation of state budget funds in the necessary volumes for the establishment of a permanent monitoring of the spread of influenza viruses, including influenza A/H1N1, and to ensure proper functioning of the virology laboratory of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service of Ukraine and health institutions in all regions of Ukraine.

        An unknown viral infection seems to intensify its attack on the residents of the Transcarpathian Region. We recently released information about the death of a 40-year-old resident of Mezhhirya from infection in Volovets and hospitalization of another resident of the Transcarpathian Region to the regional infectious diseases hospital in Uzhhorod. Today MIGnews.com.ua correspondent in Uzhhorod learned about two new cases of deadly disease - in Hustka Region of Transcarpathia.

        There is a lack of flu masks in drugstores of Kyiv. According to statements of employees of pharmacies, it is over. "All masks that we had in stock already are sold out, and we do not have new ones," - said the head of one of the pharmacies.

        She stressed that flu masks are not produced in Ukraine, and purchased mainly in China. And as no one expected that people would need in larger quantities than usual orders, nobody did additional purchases, UNIAN reported.

        The meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has been convoked. The Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said: In connection with epidemic of influenza A (H1N1) (Influenza California), the government has decided to impose quarantine in nine regions of Ukraine, namely: in Transcarpathia, Khmelnitsky, Rivne, Chernivtsi, Volyn, Vinnitsa, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Ternopil Regions. The movement of people between the regions and abroad ?may be under special control - it may be limited due to the epidemiological situation, Yulia Tymoshenko warned.

        As a reminder, on October 28 flu epidemic in the Ternopil Region, which had appeared a week ago, mowed down nearly 10,000 of residents. Moreover - unknown virus has already killed seven people. Ministry of Health has confirmed 20 deaths from pneumonia in Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv Regions.
        A closed meeting has been held in Ivano-Frankivsk, at which participants agreed that epidemic of the so-called "pneumonic plague" is being spread throughout Ukraine. But the problem is its form is unknown, it is ATYPICAL nobody knows how to treat it.

        Member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Health Lilia Hrihorovich (Our Ukraine-People?s Self-Defense faction) is convinced of the necessity to declare the state of emergency in five regions of Ukraine.

        • Re: Ukraine: at least 30 die of possible/confirmed swine flu - most were "young and healthy"

          Not a single word in RIA/NOVOSTI pieces of news of other pathogens. All articles point toward a confirmed A/H1N1pdm influenza epidemic.

          In any case, a London reference laboratory seems to be involved as stated above.

          Comment


          • Re: Ukraine: at least 30 die of possible/confirmed swine flu - most were "young and healthy"

            I think that at a certain level it may be concluded that this is a real H1N1 2009 influenza virus-driven epidemic.

            However, since our experience suggests caution, one may also try to figure out other possible explanations:

            -- a co-circulation H1N1 2009 and H3N2 seasonal, as stated by ECDC and EuroFlu;

            -- a drift variant of H1N1 2009 with enhanced virulence;

            -- a underlying poor health general conditions of inhabitants;

            -- severely damaged health care infrastructure;

            -- undernourishment;

            -- high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, and TB (XDR and MDR);

            -- other epidemics concurrently present: measles, mumps, rubella, hantavirus, CCHF, vector-borne infections;


            Poland shares borders with Ukraine: a novel pathogen should be promptly detected by Polish themselves or through EU laboratory network.

            That said, we will surely continue to scan for more informations.

              WHO says it's sending team to Ukraine to probe reports of serious H1N1 activity
              (CP) ? 43 minutes ago

              GENEVA ? The World Health Organization is sending a team of experts to Ukraine to look into reports of severe H1N1 disease there, a spokesperson for the global health agency said Friday.

              Gregory Hartl said the team was being pulled together by the WHO's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, which goes by the acronym GOARN.

              The team will travel early next week to the eastern European country, which has closed schools and banned public meetings in response to a spike in cases of acute respiratory illness believed to be H1N1.

              "This is something that certainly needs investigating," Hartl said from Geneva.

              He said the government of Ukraine is being forthcoming with information on the outbreak, which is said to centre on three regions in the western part of the country.

              The country, which is in the midst of an election campaign, has reportedly imposed strict measures to slow the spread of the virus.

              According to the BBC, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said there would also be restrictions on what she called non-urgent travel between different parts of Ukraine.

              Reports on the number of deaths vary, some suggesting Tymoshenko had said only one person has died of the virus but her rival, President Viktor Yushchenko, has said 11 Ukrainians have died so far.

                One of two reasons.

                1. They need concrete information on the scope and virulence of this epidemic. It is apparently pretty serious so they need to know how and why and where.

                2. London is involved, they HAVE information, its BAD, and they need to know HOW bad.

                  You want to make sure it hasn't. Regardless, one of the goals of the WHO is to fight all diseases worldwide, known or otherwise. If some country is having trouble even with a known illness, they can request WHO help. Countries have called in WHO help for malaria, dengue, and cholera in the past.
