By: JOHN M. CARDENAS JUAN M. CARDENAS / EL SIGLO de Durango / Durango - 05 of oct 2009.
"With the phylogenetic study of the virus and virologic characteristics of infection, we realized that the virus is so lethal, is just 1.3 per thousand, the transfer is not as strong as we had in 1918," said Emilio Chairez Arreola, director of Health Services of Durango (SSD).
Independence. The owner of Health Services in Durango reported that later this month will begin to operate the state laboratory, which will confirm results in maximum two days. JUAN MANUEL CARDENAS / EL SIGLO DE DURANGO
Background to fear WORST The official from the Ministry of Health stressed that the current situation is very different from an epidemiological alert that was declared during the month of April, when no one knew the virological characteristics of the disease and found that it was a new influenza virus called AH1N1/Suin 04/California 09.
"There have been four different strains of virus. When reviewing the historical background of this same strain was found a type AH1N1/Suin 01 / Massachusetts 17, commonly known as the Spanish fever, to review their consequences are that killed 50 million people , although there was no mass mobility, which has today. "
The owner of the SSD stressed that this was the cause of the alarm was generated in epidemiology centers around the world and take measures as strict in Mexico, which also proved successful.
"If we had a virology as strong as the one with the strain 01, we had so many deaths," said Emilio Arreola.
Germain Fajardo, head of the National Medical Arbitration Commission, published in the journal Public Health in Mexico, an article which revealed that the causes of mortality during the first days of the epidemic resulted from the delay in receiving medical care, as well of comorbidity in victims.
While some entities like the State of Mexico and Aguascalientes lethality level is above three percent, in others it is less than one percent. Mortality in Durango is 0.12 persons per 100 thousand inhabitants.
ENOUGH WITH GUIDELINES Chairez Arreola pointed out that most of the currently known viruses, and the highlight is that the hygiene measures recommended "can greatly help to control the pandemic." The guidelines that follow are the social distancing, such as avoiding places to go to mass if you have symptoms.
