Re: Mexico: Atypical Pneumonia Cases and Deaths - Oaxaca Hospital
Here is some more information about the 39-year old woman.
She apparently is a government worker, likely for the census (although a comment on an article several days ago says she worked in a welfare office), but she is apparently not a door-to-door pollster.

Re: Mexico: Atypical Pneumonia Cases and Deaths - Oaxaca Hospital
Wouldn't swine flu cases test positive for type A influenza? This woman was negative. Also, these illnesses seem to be far more severe than the swine flu cases in California.
Re: Mexico: Atypical Pneumonia Cases and Deaths - Oaxaca Hospital
No source, not even this newspaper has given and onset date, date of admission, or death date of the 35 year old man. One of the other sources (not the paper) mentions that the woman did not have contact with animals or other similar ill patients, which would mean she was not a contact of his.
His death was first reported the morning of 4/16, and later sources seem to indicate that he died before her. Possibly some third undiagnosed case had contact with both. Remember that not even H5N1 (which this most definitely is NOT) is universally fatal. If every case we are aware of is fatal, and we can't connect all the cases, there may be patients who recovered without hospitalization, that would connect the missing links.
Re: Mexico: Atypical Pneumonia Cases and Deaths - Oaxaca Hospital
There are MANY ways to generate false negatives. Swine flu should give an influenza A positive if sample is collected properly and assay is accurate and sensitive.
Rapid tests have a notoriously high false negative rate, and even PCR can produce a false negative. Without a positive, negatives mean nothing.
Re: Mexico: Atypical Pneumonia Cases and Deaths - Oaxaca Hospital
If there was any chance of influenza A, the national authorities would quickly call it common flu (even if it was bird or swine) to reduce the fear. They haven't.
Also the severity doesn't match, and that diarrhea symptom and the (false?) positive for a coronavirus are alarming.
Re: Mexico: Atypical Pneumonia Cases and Deaths - Oaxaca Hospital
This article is almost a week old, but contains a little more information about the 35 year old man. It mentions that they published his death certificate. I really wish someone could find it. HELP guys!!!
Diario Oaxaca Awakening - Developments in Information: No fear of truth and health emergency
Without fear of the truth and the sanitary emergency
================================================== ==============================
Alfredo Martinez de Aguilar on 16/04/2009 04:00:00
The first day of Passover apparently passed with the
peace of mind, however, chicha calm before the storm
forced to face the truth without fear.
With the professionalism that characterized him in defining the direction of
information, the newspaper WAKE STAFF succeeded in establishing that the Services
of Health have declared a health emergency.
The treatment of some cases of a rare disease in the Hospital
General "Dr. Aurelio Valdivieso, officially diagnosed as
"Atypical pneumonia", forced to take such a decision.
The disease has so far claimed two victims in the capital
Oaxaca with the same symptoms, which has generated a growing fear among
the staff of that hospital.
Medical staff and nurses in that hospital are afraid to be treated
of an outbreak of "Bird Flu", perhaps as a result of the arrival of
Oaxacans working abroad.
Unusual health measures applied to the Civil Hospital by
Health Services to declare a quarantine in the area of Emergency
Adults, before the deadly infection, increase the fear.
Mistrust of doctors and nurses at the risk of transmission of
disease is strengthened by the immediate intervention of the Unit
Emergency Health Intelligence in the State.
This body, which opened in October last year by Governor Ulises
Ruiz Ortiz and the Federal Health Secretary Jose Angel Cordova Villalobos,
A fence epidemiology.
The seven brigades Intelligence Unit began surveillance
Preventive specific geographic areas where they were presented
cases of women and men killed by the disease.
Samples of blood and saliva of infected both were sent to
National Institute of Epidemiological Reference, whose results will be given
released in the next 15 days.
Health Secretary, Martin Vasquez Villanueva, confirmed the death of
Jovita Gutierrez Maria Cruz, 39, after being interned in
Civil Hospital along five days. The WAKE STAFF journal succeeded in establishing, for its part, the identity of
dead man, suspected atypical pneumonia, which responded to the name
Silvano Palomeque of Jaen.
The death certificate of Silvano, a copy of which we published in the edition of this
day, which was founded originally from San Juan Teotalcingo, Santiago Choapam,
community located in the Lower Mixe.
To avoid creating psychosis among Oaxacans, Vasquez Villanueva, rejected
versions of the medical staff and nurses of the hospital within the meaning of
it is "Bird Flu".
Officially, the head of Health Services, said the newspaper
AWAKENING that so far there is no evidence that it is this
disease, but an atypical pneumonia.
Bird flu, avian flu or the chicken and birds, is a disease
caused by viruses with sufficient potential to infect different species
mammals, including humans.
Evil was first identified in Italy in the early twentieth century and
so far has manifested itself in various parts of the world. Viruses are
part of the genus Influenza RNA.
A subtype of the avian influenza virus H5N1, appeared in 1997 in Hong Kong,
was identified as the most likely source of a human influenza pandemic that
has caused thousands of deaths.
AWAKENING to succeed in breaking the silence imposed by the official services
Health, with sensitivity, its owner, Martin Vasquez Villanueva, announced
the official version in a bulletin. director@diariodespertar.com.mx
