Leadership deaths is a portrait of a moment, says Tempor?o
The minister said he believed the framework of the flu is dynamic and that, within two months the situation should change
Ligia Formenti - O Estado de S. Paul
BRASILIA - The health minister, Jos? S?crates, sought to play down the fact that Brazil is the first place in the number of deaths from influenza A (H1N1) in the world. "This is the picture of a particular moment," said Tempor?o. The country is registered so far 557 deaths from the disease.
The United States, second place is 522 deaths caused by infection. Temporao said he believed the picture of influenza is quite dynamic and that within two months, when winter comes in the Northern Hemisphere, the situation would change with increasing trend of cases in northern countries.
The minister also said to be necessary to take into account the proportion of deaths according to the population of each country. In relative numbers, Brazil has the seventh highest mortality rate (from 0.29 per 100 thousand). "Something like the richer countries", she said. Argentina, with 439 deaths, has the highest mortality rate of 1.08, followed by Chile (0.75), Costa Rica (0.67), Uruguay (0.65), Australia (0.61) and Paraguay (0.61).
