Press note 11 Sept 2009, in the morning.

Murcia Health states that the incidence rate of influenza in the region remains below the epidemic threshold
MURCIA, 11 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) --

Counseling for Health and Consumers of the Murcia region said today that the incidence of influenza in the region "remains below the epidemic threshold," according to a statement from the regional government.

Thus, during the 35th week until 29 August, were collected in the Epidemiological Surveillance System of Primary Health Service Murciano 165 cases of flu, with a predominance of influenza A (H1N1).

"Everyone with mild clinical symptoms, indicating that the incidence rate of influenza in Murcia continues below the epidemic threshold and remains below the national average for all," added the press release.

Moreover, so far, "no serious case in intensive care of patients with diseases associated with influenza in the Murcia region," they added.

The estimated rate of influenza in primary care in Spain was the 35th week of 51.75 cases per 100,000 population. This allowed a calculation that Spain may have arisen in the week above 23,000 cases of clinical influenza.

Of the cases analyzed, 86.8 percent had positive results for the new influenza virus A (H1N1), so it was estimated that the number of cases of new pandemic influenza A (H1N1) that could have happened this week would be about 20,000.

Almost all cases present with a mild, with good prognosis and respond to conventional treatments. A dated 11 September there have been 26 deaths related to influenza A (H1N1) across the country, including the injury sustained in the Region of Murcia. [added later in the afternoon]

The fatality rate from 35 weeks is 0.18 deaths per thousand suffering from influenza A (H1N1) in Spain. This week, the most affected population groups are still teenagers and young adults.

Two young men killed 18 and 26 years for influenza A in Valladolid and Murcia
Agencies | Madrid

This is the second fatality caused by influenza A in Castile and Leon, after the last day 26 died at a hospital in Zamora a 86-year-old woman with risk factors.

She was admitted to the University Hospital a few days ago when reporting symptoms consistent with bird and came from the Care Center Mentally Handicapped (CAMP) 'Don Bosco', in Valladolid.

In this center, attached to the Management of Social Services of the Junta de Castilla y León, thirty people, including six workers have been affected by an outbreak of the virus and four of them require hospitalization, although three were given medical discharge soon after.

WHO only advises schools to close in the first phase of influenza
The measure does not work if the number of infected more than 1% of the population
EMILIO DE BENITO - Madrid - 12/09/2009

Go ahead prudence decide if schools should close before the new flu is a 'very complicated "and that" much depends on the context. " But having made this caveat, the World Health Organization (WHO) yesterday released some general recommendations are summarized as "the greatest benefits of closing schools are obtained at the beginning of the outbreak, ideally at least 1% of the population is infected. "Ideally, school closures may reduce the demand for health care between 30% and 50% at the height of the pandemic," the organization said. And after that of lime, sand: "If schools are closed during an outbreak affecting the whole population, the reduction in transmission will be very limited."

Spain is already near the limit for not following the recommendation

Two new deaths bring to 27 patients died from the H1N1 virus
For Spain, that would mean that the ideal would be to close the schools before they reach less than 450,000 cases, approximately. The most conservative estimates say the country has already been some 150,000 people who have had H1N1, although some, like the health minister in Madrid, Juan Jose Guemes, believe that reality and that figure doubles, he declared this week Telemadrid. The total figure is impossible to tell as many people who have the flu but do not know about or do not go to the doctor. Of course not met yet another condition: there is no saturation or health systems has been achieved-even remotely-the peak of the epidemic, which now close down the schools would be very small.

Further, the WHO recognizes that the decision may be counterproductive. "In making decisions, educational and health authorities should be aware of the economic and social costs of the measure, which may be disproportionately high when compared to the potential benefits," the agency. "The biggest economic cost of absenteeism is derived from parents or caregivers who have to stay home to care for children. Studies estimate that closing schools can be a loss of 16% of the workforce, which should be add to the usual and the extra due to the impact of influenza in adults. " "Paradoxically, while closing schools can reduce peak demand health care, can also reduce the supply of basic care, because many doctors and nurses are parents of school-age children, and be of those who should stay home to care for them, says WHO.

In any case, the H1N1 has not mutated during his stay in the South, allowing venture that the flu this winter will be mild, as noted yesterday the Minister of Health, Trinidad Jimenez, after participating in Brussels at a meeting of the Initiative Global Health Security. Although Spain is not a member of the group (created by the U.S. after the 11-S), Jimenez got to be invited because Spain will be the next president of the EU, reports Richard M. of Rituerto. The H1N1, concluded at the meeting, is now the predominant virus and vaccines to combat it will be approved and ready for late October.

The mortality rate of this bird is 0.018%, lower than the seasonal, but the fact that every death is reported by H1N1 could lead to think otherwise. Yesterday they met the last two deaths in Spain (a girl of 18 in Valladolid and a 26 in Murcia). They had previous pathologies. In these cases, the number of deaths in Spain stands at 27.

Re: 26th & 27th A/H1N1 fatality reported in Spain

Nitrogen application to improve crop production has been very high in the last decade, with rates of around 400 kg/ha/a of nitrogen, applied mainly from November to April [Garc?a-Ar?stegui et al., 1996a].
During the first half of the 1990s, the average nitrate concentration for the
aquifer was 85 mg/l, with nitrate contents above 50 mg/l in most of the wells. Nitrate pollution reached its highest levels (over 200 mg/l) in the central part of the fluvial sector, where the materials appear to be the most vulnerable, and in the deltaic sector, where land utilisation is the most intense.
Other factors that affect nitrate concentration are the rates of irrigation and infiltration. In fact, the maximum concentrations recorded during the 1990 decade appear connected to the humid period registered in 1996-98. The intensive precipitation favoured the lixiviation of the excess in nitrogen accumulated in the soil zone during the dry previous years, leading to local nitrate contents in groundwater above 400 mg/l and average contents in excess of 100 mg/l in the deltaic aquifer. At present, there is a background level throughout the aquifer that is frequently above the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for drinking water established by the European
Community.

http://www.olemiss.edu/sciencenet/saltnet/swica2/RioVelez.pdf

In Spain, agriculture is a major source of widespread contamination. An incorrect application of fertilisers, which are often applied to crops in excessive amounts, coupled with inefficient irrigation activities, causes nitrates to be washed away into the aquifers. The nitrate content of groundwater has gradually increased in many areas where intensive farming is practised, the concentrations of nitrate ion systematically exceeding 100 mg/l in such areas, the value being as high as 300 mg/l in some zones. The Mediterranean coastal strip, the Manchego plateau and the alluvial areas of the Lower Guadalquivir, are all areas where the contamination process is most acute (MOPTMA-MINER, 1994).
