Ukraine MOH: Daily Counts: 1,128 total

Re: Ukraine MOH: Daily Counts: 1019 total

http://www.moz.gov.ua/ua/main/press/?docID=14662

Nine deaths today to 1,030 total (so probably really 11 deaths), four of which are in Donetsk, bringing them to 161. Donetsk now reports 8 in ICU (none on respirator), which seems more consistent than the 1-3 they have been reporting for the past week - perhaps they are trying more intensive treatment to save severe cases?

Total 30,100 in hospital (the lowest figure in weeks), including 113 in ICU, 11 on respirator.

A single death today to 1037 total. Now 81 in ICU, 10 of them on respirator.

http://www.moz.gov.ua/ua/main/press/?docID=14663

Four deaths on the 23rd to 1036 total (so probably really six deaths since the 22nd was at 1030). 102 in ICU, 11 on respirator.

Notably, 21 people came out of ICU today on the 24th, and at most one of them was a fatality (and that might have been a different case than yesterday's 102 ICU cases), so at least 20 severe cases recovered enough to be removed from ICU today. Donetsk is back down to 3 in ICU, so four of those cases (at least) are in Donetsk.

Re: Ukraine MOH: Daily Counts: 1037 total

I think they may have stopped counting. No new numbers have been released for five days, and the MOH has continued to release other reports (such as counts of hypothermia cases) and various documents on drug issues and heart care.

Perhaps they feel the outbreak is winding down, or perhaps they don't trust their estimates of ARI cases anymore.

Re: Ukraine MOH: Daily Counts: 1037 total

Strange. Anticipated an "end of week update" since daily updates havent happened for a number of days. Leaves plenty of fodder for speculation.

The last post of this thread indicates that as of this morning, Donetsk has 166 deaths, up four from the 162 five days ago. So this outbreak does appear slowing down. But at least that oblast is still counting. (So we do know that the countrywide total is at least 1041, but that is likely an understatement, as it would only count fatalities in the past five days if they were in Donetsk.)

Note also the hospitalization numbers. Only about 380 in hospital in Donetsk, down from nearly 3,000 at one point.

It also indicates that of the 166 fatal cases, 107 have tested positive for H1N1, 55 negative, and 4 are still pending.

The third possibility is that there is an escalation in mortalities, and they are consulting as to how to handle such information - bottom line is that we just dont know anything, and cannot make any assumptions until there is data. Unitl they release data, it is an open book.

OK. So we have eight deaths TOTAL in Ukraine between the 24th (1037) and 30th (1045), of which it appars four were in Donetsk (and two more might have been in Rivne, although those might be included in the 1037).

They might be stopping daily updates as the outbreak is in decline.

Of note also is their count of 31,596 currently in hospital is an overstatement by the 1045 fatalities - they seem to have subtracted discharges from admissions, without taking into account that there is a second way to get out of the hospital. The correct current hospitalization count should probably be 30,551.

Health Ministry: death toll from flu, respiratory infections in Ukraine rises to 1,076
Today at 20:53 | Interfax-Ukraine
The number of those who have died of flu and flu-like illnesses in Ukraine has increased to 1,076 people as of February 8, the Ukrainian Health Ministry's press service reported on Monday.

According to the ministry, the epidemic threshold was not exceeded in any Ukrainian region.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic (October 29, 2009), over 4.922 million people have contracted flu and respiratory infections.

Since October 29, the largest number of deaths has been recorded in Donetsk (172) and Lviv (106) regions.

The ministry publishes no separate statistics on cases of A/H1N1 influenza or swine flu.

A single new update, covering the period of February 1-7. 12 deaths in that period in cluding one pregnant woman, 4 of them in Donetsk, to a total of 1,076 overall, with 172 of them in Donetsk. Total ARI for the week is 217,000. Total number currently in hospital is 24,600, down for 30,000-35,000 in the last daily reports (which stopped on January 24). Total 223 in ICU, 14 on respirators.

No oblast is above the epidemic threshhold, but four oblasts are approaching it. I wonder if there has been a drop in ARI activity between the 24th and now, and it might just be starting to rebound (that ICU number is a bit higher than the last few reports).

Re: Ukraine MOH: Daily Counts: 1076 total

http://www.moz.gov.ua/ua/main/press/?docID=14824

17 more deaths in period from February 8-14, for a total of 1,093. A reported 146 in ICU, 3 on respirators. Total number hospitalized countrywide is a little over 23,000 (which is the lowest point yet). Donetsk has just 239 hospitalized, eight of them in ICU, none on respirators.

There may be a misreporting out of oblast #8, Zaporizhia, which reports 52 in ICU, more than one-third of the country's total, but still no one on respirator (and no deaths in the past week). Looking at the other oblasts, it may be that they intended to report 2 or 5 in ICU, not 52.

[alert]

Re: Ukraine MOH: Daily Counts: 1093 total

http://www.moz.gov.ua/ua/main/press/?docID=14901

For the week ending the 21st, 14 more deaths (7 in Donetsk) to a total of 1107. Now 134 in ICU, 11 on respirator. Zaporizhia, #8, is still reporting 28 in ICU (down from 52 earlier), which seems abnormally high, but still no one on respirator there and no death in the past week, so the problem still seems like a reporting issue, not a more severe outbreak.

Donetsk now has 186 deaths total.

Oblast #3, Volyn, is still the only oblast classified as approaching the epidemic threshhold.

[alert]

Re: Ukraine MOH: Daily Counts: 1,107 total

http://www.moz.gov.ua/ua/main/press/?docID=14990

Four deaths in week ending February 28th (although the report accidentally calls it March 28th), two each in Lviv and Donetsk, to a total of 1,111 total. Lviv has 110, and Donetsk 188.

Total 131 in ICU, 11 on respirator.

Oblast #8 is still reporting 37 in ICU, 3 on respirator, but no death in weeks, so this is likely some kind of reporting bug.

All oblasts are now "in the clear" with respect to the epidemic threshhold.
