Re: wave 2

Thought this post should go here also. Thanks Liz!

This is a couple of weeks old, but it was just passed on to me. From H5N1: News and Resources about Pandemic Influenza


Quote:
Mexico: A second wave of H1N1
Thanks to the reader who sent the link to Clar?n.com, an Argentine news source: M?xico confirm? una segunda oleada de Gripe A. [Mexico confirms a second wave of H1N1]. Excerpt, with my translation:

El Ministerio de Salud de M?xico confirm? una segunda oleada de Gripe A, que dej? un tendal de 10 muertos en apenas cuatro d?as y oblig? a las autoridades locales a reforzar nuevamente las medidas sanitarias. Pese a las temperaturas c?lidas y sofocantes que recorren todo el pa?s, el rebrote del virus provoc? el contagio de 632 personas. La regi?n sur, en especial en el estado de Chiapas, es la m?s afectada.
The Mexican ministry of health has confirmed a second wave of H1N1, causing ten deaths in just four days and obliging local authorities to impose new sanitary measures. Despite the suffocatingly hot temperatures everywhere in the country, the new outbreak of the virus has infected 632 persons. The southern region, especially Chiapas state, is the most affected.

El epidemi?logo Hugo L?pez Gateli, uno de los directores del Centro Nacional de Vigilancia Epidemiol?gica, reconoci? que en Chiapas los casos "se han disparado", al punto tal que en menos de un mes se quintuplicaron los contagios. Actualmente, ese estado contabiliza 3.664 enfermos y 19 muertos. La zona de Yucat?n, al sureste, tambi?n experiment? una situaci?n similar, con la triplicaci?n de casos en pocas semanas (pasaron de 683 a 1.906). La ciudad de M?xico (2.161 pacientes) es otra de las regiones con alta tasa de infectados.

Epidemiologist Hugo L?pez Gateli, one of the directors of the National Center for Epidemiological Surveillance, said that cases in Chiapas "have exploded," to the point that in less than a month the cases have quintupled. Actually, this state now lists 3,664 cases and 19 deaths. Yucat?n, in the southeast, has had a similar experience, with the tripling of cases in a few weeks (rising from 683 to 1,906 cases). Mexico City (2,161 cases) is another of the regions with a high rate of infection.
While the Health Secretariat's own flu update page provides current case and death numbers, it doesn't mention a second wave. In El Universal, the health secretary says the country still has time to prepare for the new outbreak.
