Pneumonic plague has developed in the northeastern Heilongjiang Province. Residents are angry at the official cover-up.
Headlines…
- Residents unhappy with pneumonic plague cover-up

*******************

Residents unhappy with pneumonic plague cover-up

Following recent outbreaks of the pneumonic plague in Xinghai, Qinghai Province, news of the plague has also come from Jinshanzhun district of Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province. At least 8 people have fallen ill to the disease in Baishan Forestry Station and Fengmao Forestry Station. Local residents have reported that people in the region are now under curfew, and that the public is unhappy with the government’s cover-ups on information regarding the development of the plague, and their own inability to afford medical costs.

Ms Liu from Baishan told overseas reporters, six cases of pneumonic plague have been confirmed at her station, with symptoms of ongoing fever, pains in bones and joints around the body, as well as vomiting. She said the local government is currently attempting to conceal information about the spread of this disease.
Ms Liu said (recording):

“We have cases of the pneumonic plague here. With over 400 families living in our area, there have been 6 confirmed cases. Each person has to spend their own money to try and cure the disease, it’s just bad luck to whoever gets it. There are also cases in Bailin Forestry Station, Fengmao, and Fengling. Nobody is taking action, and it’s not taken very seriously. The victims just try to cure themselves. We have heard of such confirmed cases since two years ago, and this year there are many more compared. Here, we live by producing Mu-er (an edible tree fungus), and there is no other source of income on the mountain. Come and see! See the difficulties of our people, there is nobody to assist. One family had two victims, and they are spending 15 000 - 16 000 renminbi per person for treatment, which they cannot handle. The authorities don’t report on it to higher levels either, it seems they have suppressed the information!”

Another resident in Baishan Forestry Station also said, the local government has spread pamphlets which describe the disease as a fever affecting the bloodstream. The illness requires expensive treatment, and most patients have been forced to borrow money from friends and relatives for hospital treatment.”

This resident said (recording):
“People who caught this plague have gone to Yichun Hospital, and have not returned since! I don’t know if it can be classified as the pneumonic plague. Nobody has told us how to handle it! They just hand out the flyers, think the job is finished, and have taken any other procedure. Can the government tell us that it is related to the pneumonic plague, and say it can be treated with public funding. Individuals cannot afford it, because each time it takes tens of thousands of renminbi, who has that kind of money to treat it? There have also been people in our region who caught the plague, and they have all borrowed money, a bit from here and there from friends and relatives, in order to see the doctor.”

Ms Li from Bailin Forestry station said people are currently suffering from the plague in her area, and that the same disease has been seen in past years.

Ms Li (recording):
“We heard it’s a serious disease which could take lives. There are 6 to 7 cases here. Last year we discovered one case, but after he fell in a coma, he was eventually revived. We learned over these couple of years that it was the pneumonic plague, we did not know this 2 years ago.”

Resident Mr Dai said (recording):
“I heard two people died in Baishan Forestry Station. In our area, Fengmao, we have 2 cases, both quite serious. We are living under curfew now, nobody is allowed to leave, and nobody is allowed to enter. There’s no real way to prevent the disease, it is up to the individual. There is a vaccine, if you want to spend 39 or 40 dollars to get it, that’s counted as prevention. They [the authorities] have distributed flyers saying, if you get this disease, go to the hospital.”

Other residents have said (recording)
“There have also been cases in Fengmao, two victims who worked on the mountains. They had seen rats crawl over left over food, and drank some contaminated water which lead to the disease.”

This resident says, (recording)
“The situation is quite severe at Baishan, they are preparing for the curfew, it’s serious… … seven or eight people caught the plague, and in some serious cases people have died.”

Sound of Hope reporters telephoned Jinshanzhun District Hospital in Yuchun City, and the doctor in office denied claims of the pneumonic plague.

This doctor said (recording)
“There’s nobody who got the pneumonic plague, no, no, no, it’s a rumor.”

In 1914, an epidemic of the bubonic plague took place in Yichun City, and killed 618 people.

According to reports on The Epoch Times newspaper on August 14, one doctor at Yichun City Centre Hospital admitted there were 9 patients of a blood-fever plague at the hospital. This doctor said although rats were carriers of this disease, it is not the pneumonic plague. Meanwhile, a female staff at the same officer told the reporter 10 victims of the pneumonic plague are currently undergoing treatment.

How did we miss these stories???

Suspected death from pneumonic plague in Heilongjiang
(10:47)

Recent reports have revealed cases of suspected pneumonic plague at a forest management area in Yichun city of Heilongjiang Province. Authorities have denied correlations between the disease and bubonic or pneumonic plague, and claim the illness to be a contagious hemorrhagic fever.

Censorship of news regarding the death a labourer who died in hospital, has aroused suspicion from the locals. A number of individuals have expressed to overseas media their dissatisfaction toward the government?s concealment of information in relation to the plague?s development.

One individual who preferred to remain anonymous told SOH reporters, a worker from Anhui Province recently died in his local hospital, while currently other victims continue to be admitted to Yichun Hospital for treatment.

He explains (recording) ?This disease is caused by a bacterium carried by rodents. One of the initial symptoms is the fever, and in serious cases one can die from this. We have people who have been released from hospital, but there are still a number who remain there, probably 4 or 5 with more being admitted. Upon early detection, with early treatment, it may only cost around 10 000 renminbi. However in serious cases it may cost 20 000 to 30 000 out of your own pocket.

Residents from the forestry management station in Fengou of the Jinshanzhun district, have also voiced their concerns that authorities have made no announcement, or taken preventative procedures in regards to the outbreak.

This resident from Fengou said (recording), ?Rodents, rats, if Baishan has them, wouldn?t Fengmao also have them? We don?t know and we dont understand these things. This year we have seen more rodent pests, but don?t know anyone who caught the disease, at least it hasn?t been publicised.?

Another resident in Fenglin said that one person had fallen ill to the disease in his locality, but has returned home since treatment. She states (Recording) ?There is one such case in Fengling, and after the doctors treatment, he came back.?

Baishan and Fengmao forestry station have been sources of news about the plague. A resident from Fengmao said (recording) ?There has been two cases in Fengmao, so we all took the vaccination. Can you afford not take it in this situation??

The government of Yichun city made reports on the 17th of August denying the occurrence of the plague in the three forestry stations around Jinshanzhun district. Their report claimed that 7 people had fallen ill to a hemorrhagic fever. Local residents have also complained to SOH Radio Network about recent events of harassment from the police in the homes of victims who had accepted interviews with overseas media on this issue.

can anyone can make heads or tails of this?

Zhong-Hai in the city's emergency management Comrade television and telephone conference Speech
Time :2009-09-01 Source: Municipal Government Office ???? ??



August 19, 2009

Comrades:

Today, the municipal government decided to convene this meeting, the meeting's main task is to implement the Mayor Wang Ai-wen on doing the instructions of the spirit of the work of emergency management to analyze the current situation facing the emergency management work, make arrangements for the next task. Next, I would make three points.

A unity of thinking, to raise awareness and effectively strengthen their emergency management work, sense of responsibility and sense of urgency

Strong emergency management, the relationship between the overall situation, the relationship between the immediate interests of the masses. The city's leading cadres at all levels must further raise awareness and fully understand the importance of doing the work of emergency management, urgency and significance. First of all, to enhance emergency management is put into practice the scientific outlook on development imperative. The core of the scientific development concept is based on the people. Interests of the people is extremely heavy, our responsibility is also weightier than Mount Tai. At present the city is in the stage of accelerated development of industrialization, is all kinds of accidents, disasters, "prone period." With the social scale of production and the dramatic expansion of economic output, but also increased the risk of accidents; production concentration degree of improvement and the acceleration of urbanization process, but also increased the production safety accidents and unexpected events affecting the scope of public and increased the extent of the harm. These all require us to strengthen emergency management, to minimize casualties and accident hazards, this is our basic principle to carry out emergency work and the fundamental starting point. Second, the strengthening of emergency management is an important foundation for building a harmonious society. To build a harmonious society, we need to create a stable and secure social environment as a prerequisite for assurance. In recent years, the city's security situation from the point of view, on the whole stable, but there are also some problems can not be ignored, due to security incidents caused by the number of casualties, economic losses are on the rise,群体性上访events and transport, health, law and order, etc. string of unexpected incidents. Only accelerate the establishment of a sound emergency response mechanism, and strive to improve the ability to manage complex situations, effective prevention and disposal of various types of unexpected events in order to effectively maintain social stability, and constantly enhance social harmony. Third, to strengthen emergency management is to fully implement the urgent need for government functions. Strengthening emergency management, enhance the ability to prevent and handle emergencies is for the Government to fulfill their social management and public service functions of the important content is to strengthen the Party's governing capacity-building and concrete manifestation of the objective requirements. All levels of government must be able to properly deal with all kinds of emergencies and public crisis, maintaining social order and protecting people's lives and property, otherwise, both would be a serious impact on economic development, but also difficult to obtain public support and support. All localities and units must understand the situation, the emergency management work in an even more important position, effectively enhance the sense of responsibility and urgency, take effective measures to spare no efforts in emergency management, effectively prevent and respond to production safety, public health incidents , natural disasters and other emergencies from occurring, to ensure that the city's political stability and social stability.

Second, in-depth analysis, to find enough clear understanding of the city emergency management work in the situation

At present, with the accelerated economic and social development, resources, tensions and deteriorating ecological environment problems have become increasingly prominent, have brought to the emergency management challenges. From a national perspective, in recent years, "SARS", avian flu, influenza A H1N1 influenza epidemics and other emergencies never seen before, the South continued to heavy snowfall in 14 provinces and regions, "5 ? 12" Wenchuan earthquake, and so large is hard to estimate the losses caused by disasters, floods, droughts and other natural disasters have occurred frequently, and the government's ability to govern the party presented a daunting challenge. From the city's point of view, in recent years, although we made a lot of work in emergency management to maximize the prevention and reduction of the damage caused by sudden events and to protect the broad masses of the people's life and property, but a variety of insecurity still exist, some being difficult to resolve problems left over from history, and at any time into a social contradictions, difficult to predict, difficult to control natural disasters, major epidemics may also be in there, especially at special times of financial crisis, the public safety situation is not optimistic. This year, the city's James River cross-border fire occurred, a serious impact on the city's economic and social development; Tieli "6 ? 29" West River Bridge collapse incident had a negative impact to the city. Recently, the city jinshantun area outside the network communication Hakusan forest, lush forest, abundance of plague occurred in forestry ditch this, Oi Man City made important instructions, made a clear request, the municipal government attaches great importance to and immediately a comprehensive plan for , and immediately carry out the relevant investigations. It was confirmed that these three forest plague does not occur, but appeared in seven cases of epidemic hemorrhagic fever cases, at present, in patients with stable vital signs, the condition has been fully controlled. These incidents give us a profound wake-up call at the same time, it reflects and exposes the current emergency management work in the city there are some weaknesses can not be ignored and problems. First, contingency plans for systems are still inadequate. At present, the city's contingency plan Although the basic framework of the system built up and organized a series of contingency plans for exercises, but also successfully disposed of a number of unexpected events, but a complete system has not yet formed a contingency plan, plan inadequate connection between the content is also need further to add, refine, operability is not strong enough. Second, emergency management system is still not perfect. Some localities and departments have paid insufficient attention to the emergency management, neglect of normal management. Counties (cities) Regional Council Emergency Management Agency configuration is not in place, the role of non-prominent, two urban emergency command linkage mechanism of coordination between agencies need to further develop and improve. Third, the building emergency team efforts are needed. At present, the city's professional emergency rescue and relief teams are lacking, mostly semi-professional or part-time teams, respond to and handle emergencies capability is weak. 4 Emergency Response technical support system is weak. Inadequate investment in emergency equipment, emergency management based information platform construction is lagging behind, the professional sector of digital surveillance infrastructure needs to be strengthened. Fifth, the information submitted to the non-standardized a timely fashion. Unexpected event information reporting, omissions, delaying the phenomenon occur, especially after the individual departments directly reported to the provincial nor municipal government reported an emergency to do, resulting in a passive municipal work. 6 is a publicity still requires strengthening. Knowledge of the masses of the public safety, disaster prevention and mitigation, and the popularization of knowledge of self and mutual rescue is not enough, the community self-help each other rescue capability is not strong. In this regard, we must not take it lightly, a little slack, we must make emergency management work as a major issue, in-depth study, improve the mechanism, a positive response, to ensure effectiveness, and actively prevent and effectively resolve the economic and social development risks, difficulties and crisis in order to achieve faster and better economic and social development of the city to provide a safe, stable social environment.

3, based on the present, focused, and comprehensively strengthen the work of emergency management

The current and future periods, the city's emergency management work must adhere to the scientific outlook on development as guidance, in accordance with the establishment of a unified leadership, comprehensive coordination, classification management, hierarchical accountability, dependency management, emergency management system requirements, from start to strengthen the institutional mechanisms, In the hard to rectify them, based on the focus on strengthening the following work: First, strengthening the improvement and perfection of the contingency plan. All localities and units, and departments must stand in stress politics and the height of the overall situation, in accordance with "practical, feasible, simple, easy to operate" requirements around the types of unexpected events may be what happens, who to deal with, how to deal with this focus, to further amend and improve the overall emergency response plan, specific contingency plans and departmental emergency plan. Should pay attention to learn from the past in dealing with sudden incidents in the experiences and lessons, clear plans for the various operational procedures and operational processes, strengthening exercises and emergency response practices, to ensure that plans for the scientific, rational, workable, practical, feasible. Before the end of an emergency office to be right around the city, various units, departments should carry out emergency plans for construction of a comprehensive system of inspection. Second is to strengthen emergency management agencies and emergency support system. Equipped with special (part) level of staff, speed up to build a reasonable structure, high quality and effective emergency rescue support group of experts to strengthen the emergency management coordination between institutions in the city to form a unified command, responsive, co-ordinated manner functioning and efficient emergency management system, and continuously improve the emergency response decision-making and the scientific nature to deal with emergencies. All levels of government and the Forest Service to emergency security funds included in the annual budget, and the implementation of rolling accumulated to ensure that emergency management and use of timely availability of funds; all units, departments should increase input to the work of emergency management. Emergency rescue teams must do a good job, and actively integrate all kinds of rescue efforts, improve technology and equipment, intensive training exercises to improve emergency response and rescue capabilities; gradually establish a socialized emergency rescue mechanism to mobilize all sectors of society to actively participate in emergency rescue, and the formation of the whole society a strong common interest relief security system. Third, strengthen the work of emergency management information. Vigorously carry out emergency management expertise into the schools, into communities, into the place and village (tun) activities make full use of Internet and news media, emergency management science missionary work to expand the coverage of universal access to prevention, hedging, self-help, mutual rescue, and disaster knowledge and skills, in-depth information various types of contingency plans to enhance the people to respond to crises and self-protection awareness of the public to maintain public safety awareness and ability to respond to emergencies, and strive to create a nationwide mobilization, prevention, disaster prevention and mitigation of the interactive society as a whole the situation . Fourth, is to strengthen the operational mechanism to deal with emergencies perfect. Counties (cities) involved directly under the Regional Council and the emergency departments to strictly implement the emergency duty system, a 24-hour emergency (the Chief) duty phone to arrange with a leadership class to implement the duty personnel, and strictly forbid the night watchman, to serve as security personnel on duty to answer an emergency (The Chief) duty phone at the same time, localities and units, departments Tel party and government leaders would take 24 hours a day, the future, if again the contingency (the Chief) duty phone or phone number one can not get through the situation, all criticism, resulting in serious consequences will be seriously investigated and punished. Necessary to seriously implement the emergency event information submitted to the system in the future, where the city took place safety, public health and natural disasters and other emergencies, to report to the provincial authorities in charge of the former city leaders must be reported, a major should be reported to the main leadership review at the same time submitted to the Municipal Emergency Response Office of (municipal general duty room), such as another late, omissions, cheat, or information submitted privately submitted false, incomplete, and all to be criticism, resulting in consequences, to conduct administrative accountability, more leadership responsibility should be investigated. To strengthen the emergency and early warning information in hidden meta-analysis, though it was not constituted a major emergency situations, but also fail to submit the standard, but the impact was large, or in the special period, or is likely to spread the event should report; of emergency management work should be timely to summarize, analyze, refine good experiences and practices, submit information through the mutual exchange, learn from. Network monitoring departments at all levels should strengthen oversight of information, paying close attention on the network on the city's public security of information, once discovered, timely reporting, at the same time, we must improve the information dissemination and public opinion guidance mechanisms, strict information to verify, review, publishing and management system and grasp the correct direction of public opinion, in order to actively and safely handle emergencies and create a favorable public opinion environment. 5 is to strengthen the hidden investigation work. All localities should actively organize safety supervision, public security, transportation, quality supervision, fire, water, education, health and other departments, a comprehensive in-depth investigation and non-coal mines, road traffic, construction, fireworks and other key areas of production and management and personnel-intensive sites, schools, and other key parts of the potential risks, effectively preventing the occurrence of major emergencies, and earnestly sooner, center of gravity downward, effectively guarantee people's lives and property. 6 is to strengthen the emergency response and rehabilitation. Unexpected events occurred, mainly in accordance with the principle of local management, the incident should prompt governments to carry out pre-disposal work, and actively coordinate the rescue team to carry out rescue work, to take the necessary measures to prevent secondary, derivative disaster events, do a good job of the affected the people's basic livelihood security and environmental impact assessment at the scene, in accordance with the provisions of timely reporting higher levels of government and departments concerned. After the emergency handling, it is necessary to promptly organize the affected areas return to normal production and life and social order, mobilize social forces to participate in emergency relief, recovery and reconstruction, while making emergency assessment. 7 is to strengthen the群体性上访caused emergencies stability control work. Recently, as part of the unit leaders did not focus on the masses of the problem is not resolved, department attitude is not positive, no track work and other reasons, the phenomenon of the masses to the city of collective petition are more serious disruption of the organs of the normal office order, but also to the community stability affected. To this end, party and government leaders at all levels must safeguard people's livelihood and promote development, security and stability viewpoint, the effective disposition of petition to increase efforts to ensure that no unexpected events occur群体性上访raised. Party committees at all levels, the Government's main leaders should earnestly take up the first responsibility of a competent leader must specifically dealing with other leaders according to the "one post double-duty" requirement for petition do a good job in charge of front stability, the stability of work into an important item on petition schedule, special study and plan, and solve existing problems, stable jobs for the letters provide the necessary human, material and financial security, if there are problems to immediately start the deal with a large-scale emergency petition unusual incidents precautions, and strive to Zhuazao, grasping a small , captured, and resolutely prevent the occurrence of major petition. We must strictly implement the first petition to ask the first accountability office, truly long as there were echoes, each piece is secured, do not prevent processing time, not in place leading to leapfrog to the city, petition the problem occurred; event of a mass petition to the city, involving a unit leaders should come forward immediately persuaded to return to, involving heads of department to the scene to personally answer to the common good resolve conflicts, reception persuaded to return to work on the individual petitioners should be illegal according to law. City offices will be joint petition counties (cities), districts, departments and units directly under the municipal governing for the people to implement performance factual and objective examination into the petition, increase accountability efforts.
