The threat of aftershocks, still linger, China has multiple reservoir leakage, in particular cause for concern.

It should be noted that the second phase of relief work, can be said to be extremely difficult, one of the reasons is that this area of great disaster areas, thus greatly distracted rescue forces. Xinhua News Agency reported that the hardest hit Sichuan earthquake directly affected the number of more than 10 million, and their situation, no doubt still very grim. According to the official pointed out that the hardest hit area of Sichuan Province reached 65,000 square kilometers, involving Aba, Mianyang, Deyang and Chengdu, Guangyuan, such as six Ya'an city, seriously affected the counties reached 44, 1061 hit township , The population of about 20 million people. Therefore, the Chinese authorities continue to increase support for several days, but the rescue of more than one, the scheduling, command, control, coordination, it is not easy.

After these days, some dead bodies have begun to corruption, prevent the outbreak of the epidemic, it is not easy. On the 14th of China's Xinhua quoted vice governor of Sichuan Province Cheng-Yun Li pointed out that after the earthquake, ending on the 14th afternoon, the earthquake death toll has reached 14,463. He said that another 14,051 missing and 25,788 people were buried in the rubble pile, 64,746 people were injured. Remedial work, we must speed, but how in a short span a period of time as far as possible to find and deal with the tens of thousands of dead, is certainly a great challenge.Otherwise, once the outbreak of the epidemic, the problem will be even more complex.

Avoid aftershocks caused major casualties, is also imperative. Sichuan disaster areas so far appears on more than 2,000 aftershocks, the strongest a magnitude 6.1 to the strength of a radius of 200 km by the strong impact of the damaged houses collapse at any time of crisis. Victims are afraid to go home now, living in very poor health conditions in tents or even sleeping.The elderly, children less resistance, their health, has no doubt challenge.

In addition, many reservoirs are leaking, in particular cause for concern. Sichuan Province has all kinds of Reservoir Project 6678, of which five large reservoirs, medium-105, 1007-a small, small-II 5561. But God did not create the United States, on the 14th to the early morning, rain in western Sichuan have not yet stopped, seven counties in Chongqing reservoir in a total of 19 different levels of crack and leak, it was reported that the upper reaches of the Minjiang River reservoir could collapse Long map, the situation is very Dangerous. It was also the Voice of China on the 14th, the hardest hit in the earthquake near the Purple Ping Dujiangyan the reservoir "very dangerous" because the reservoir from the earthquake zone very close, 2,000 officers and soldiers have rushed to go to the reservoir proved the present situation, reports Administration may be forced to refer to the flood water to reduce the first down. If the scene Zipingpu Reservoir, downstream of the Dujiangyan Water Control Project even more unthinkable, tens of thousands of homeless victims have been the case may be more severe.

At present, perhaps in the global human concern for the safety of the Chinese victims. In any case difficult, the customs, also Deting the past.:tiphat: http://209.85.171.104/translate_c?h...stnn.cc/ed_china/200805/t20080516_780631.html

The group child has measles to fear has exploded plague

[Eastern daily paper special news]The Sichuan big earthquake steps into the fourth day, plague haze has covered in the pa, Mianyang, Deyang and so on six victimized persons. Because is buried the rubble to pile the corpse not to be able the stitch in time, the part starts to become stale rottenly, the over disaster victims momentarily hide the earthquake actually to hide plague surely. City of Deyang governs the Mianzhu mountainous area, had on the young child face to present the roseola, some doctors expressed that does not remove the epidemic situation to erupt, appealed the disaster victims flee the disaster area as soon as possible. But in the victimized persons Beichuan county, the local medical personnel has requested the villagers to put on the mouthpiece, guards against the infectious disease to be popular. Secretary of Health excel in indicated that if processes improper, plague has the possibility appearance extremely. ?the mountain that side has many corpses not to dig, heard that already became stale fiercely.?Mianzhu obeyed Dao Town gold village villagers Li Conlon saying that because the mountain road was unable to pass through the oversize vehicle, even if the rescue crew entered the excavation on foot, will only depend on the small iron shovel to be also unable to possess is dug by burying. ?looks like inside our village this kindergarten, now also has a child to bury in the rubble piles.?Located at the gold village's in happy kindergarten, razes in the earthquake, in the garden altogether has 85 young children, three teachers to die at least. Although knew perfectly well that still had the young child, but the condition limits, the police stopped the excavation the day before yesterday, the Medical department request nearby the kindergarten ruins the tent housing villagers, every day spurts 灑 the decontaminating solution unceasingly.

Most needs the pure liquid medicine
Displays enormously with Li Conlon with the village villagers to plague frightened, they said what at present most needs is pure Shui He the medicine, ?our many old people the children are having diarrhea, now does not have the means to stop flows swiftly.?Obeys Dao Town located at the side hill, is Mianzhu most approaches the seismic vertical the town, the straight distance only 30 kilometers, although the disaster situation is serious, but because the villagers the worry are forced to leave native place have not safeguarded, rather chooses remains behind to take care of things the homeland to meet one's fate with resignation. However, compares in the position mountain clear Ping Town, obeyed Dao Town Shang Suan to be lucky. Clear Ping Town only with the outside contacting mountain road, falls in torrents the interruption by the mountain putty, several thousand people are stranded, the water scarcity lacks the electricity, the communication to interrupt. Because the mountainous area house collapse is serious, large quantities of victims are buried the rubble to pile are unable to select, is hot and damp gradually along with the weather, increases the risk which plague erupts. Yesterday had Sichuan's broadcasting station to indicate that clear Ping Town had on the part of young child face to present the roseola one after another, but locality, because the commodity was very scarce, at present did not have the medicine to be possible to govern, urgently needed outside donation disinfection pharmacological treatment.

The child catches an illness disseminates quickly

[Eastern daily paper special news]The Sichuan big earthquake occurs has surpassed for 80 hours, is buried the old and the weak child chance of survival is getting more and more uncertain under the rubble, the partial hands and feet the survivor who presses, the body are even appeared the similar roseola the symptom. The infectious disease expert pointed out that the disaster field has large quantities of schoolchildren to be stranded under the rubble, the environment is bad, once middle some person of itself contract the infectious disease, very quick will then infect to other schoolchildren, will make the disaster field epidemic disease tide.

Pushes is high in the same place risk
Once three disaster relief experience's infectious disease branch specialist Lao Yongle indicated that the Sichuan earthquake's special place is the wounded is in the majority by the old and the weak child, many casualty schoolchildren with are stranded under the rubble, is disseminated easily the infectious disease. ?if middle has the child himself to contract the infectious disease, infects with great difficulty for pushes in the same place child, but 痳 sickness and so on measles, chicken pox may disseminate in the air, easier to infect.?Although he will also say the corpse not to pollute the water source, but will actually attract harmful insects and so on cockroach, will increase the dissemination virus the risk; Even if some people spurt 灑 the disinfection liquid medicines on the corpse, but the soil and the corpse itself and so on organic matter can offset its disinfection. Lao Yongle reminds, the seismic failure canal and the excrement ditch, the drinking water supply and the pollution discharge were a problem, is worsened the disaster field health, has opportunity large-scale enteral infection diseases and so on eruption cholera, dysentery, after making the disaster, second wave death tide. Kernel peaceful hospital acute disease outpatient service vice-inspector general You Fangzhi showed that many pathological changes have the opportunity to form the roseola, but is being pressed by the rubble the disaster victims body grows ?the roseola?, because the trust is in vivo blood is unable the class to the four limbs and so on organ which suppresses, causes the organ organization necrosis result, if the situation continues, necrosis's organization will release the myo- red element and the harmful toxin or the compound, and will proliferate to bodily various part; ?these deleterious substances can affect other organs, if releases the potassium can affect the blood potential of hydrogen, but when the kidney agglomerates excessively many deleterious substances are unable the filtration, will then bring about the renal failure.?:tiphat: http://svsurl.systransoft.com/?t=ou...=11d1def534ea1be0--4fd0bfef-119ed63c158--1caa​

Immunization experts: post-disaster should be promptly killed Wenying rat

May 16, the city of Dujiangyan in Sichuan and the victims of urban settlements surrounding environment for disinfection, strengthen epidemic prevention work, Zhang Lei She ZXS [/FONT]​

May 16, that: The Chinese epidemic prevention experts: timely disaster killed mosquitoes, flies, mice​

喷洒消毒，控制蝇类的密度。​

To achieve the disaster after a large epidemic of the goal, we must immediately carry out epidemic prevention in the disaster areas, killing timely anti-mosquito, flies, mice and other vector of biological is the most important aspect - the China Disease Prevention and Control Center infectious disease researcher at the Luliang Proposed today: motor vehicle loaded convenient ultra-low-capacity aircraft to spray disinfectant spray Pharmacy, control the density of flies. He stressed that the environmental mess disaster areas, and various human and animal excrement and remains of garbage, flies to rapidly provide the conditions for breeding. If a gastrointestinal disease, the flies can quickly spread pathogens, and expand the epidemic, so fly control is the first to consider the issue.
Lu Liang recalled that the 1976 Tangshan After the earthquake, Wenying control measures at three levels: in the disaster areas spent the entire space ultra-low-capacity aircraft spraying in the community for the use of bear-spray insecticide spraying the constants in the family use of small handheld sprayer, if necessary When spraying small amounts of drugs.
He said that over the past 30 years, insecticide and pesticide types of equipment, preparations have been greatly different. But as long as an effective instrument to play and the characteristics of Pharmacy, for control of different objects and places, can be the vector for the biological control of the disaster areas to provide effective protection.
As ultra-low volume spraying can kill a fly, so the breeding ground for flies and habitat sites devoted to the needs of drug spraying. With deltamethrin can be satisfied with the results. For beneath the ruins of Wenying breeding ground, they can carry mobile bridge fog-dusting aircraft dusting, spraying, the use of strong wind can be sent to the ruins of Pharmacy at the bottom of the breeding ground. Although the hot smoke machine can produce a strong penetration of the smoke, but taking into account the risk of fire, should not be used in ruins.
Lu Liang pointed out that the major mosquito stay indoors and at night vampire, can be targeted for indoor residual spraying. The large area of mosquito breeding grounds, such as the long-term accumulation of stagnant water, such as depression, can be used to spray malathion treatment for the fish surface, it's best not to use pyrethroid Pharmacy.
As post-disaster rodent breeding ground for more and easier access to food rodents, their number could increase rapidly after the earthquake one month, resulting in various rodent infestation, including the plague may emerge. Therefore, we should strengthen the anti-rodent extensive publicity, set up anti-rat-running points and settings, or to avoid children or the elderly Eating poison bait. If possible, could be set up bait stations must also reserve the detoxification Pharmacy.
Luliang that the national Ministry of Health established an emergency "earthquake relief health and epidemic prevention work programme", the epidemic monitoring, food, drinking water hygiene, sanitation, vector prevention and control of biological, disinfection, chemical poisoning prevention and treatment, psychological treatment and bodies Crisis intervention to make detailed provisions for the vaccination to the disaster areas to provide technical guidance.
He disclosed that by the China Disease Prevention and Control Center 39 experts organized vaccination rescue team and the Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences deployed 45 experts, three earthquake relief health and epidemic prevention rescue teams, respectively the day before yesterday and yesterday evening arrived in Sichuan Disaster areas, carried out pre-study guide epidemic prevention.

[Sing Tao network - to achieve the disaster after a big goal of the epidemic, timely access to the disaster areas must carry out epidemic prevention work, disaster areas and drinking water sanitation is the most important link. China Disease Prevention and Control Center environment and health-related security experts Yuelin on the 16th of the recommendations: the current disaster areas the primary task is to ensure that health and safety of the drinking water supply, as soon as possible to strengthen the management of water sanitation. Wenchuan M8.5 nearly four days, the official said the death toll in Sichuan Province is estimated over 50,000, the hardest hit in Wenchuan, and so on, apart from housing to destroy, the more terrible is not yet tens of thousands of corpses dug up, Yingxiuwan a town of only nine adult materials were buried alive, have begun to Fachou, all township and kills people the epidemic may break out at any time.

Weather Forecast shows that the next few days the hot weather, but also increase the risk of large-scale outbreak.
China news agency reported that in 1976 Tangshan earthquake disaster areas during the national Ministry of Health health and epidemic prevention team captain, 40 years at the outbreak of large-scale epidemic environmental health research work experience Yue Lin said that after the initial earthquake disaster area health - Of the primary task is to identify as soon as possible for drinking water, sanitation supply various measures to ensure the health and safety of drinking water, reduce the incidence of intestinal infectious diseases.
She stressed that the post-earthquake disaster areas to be continuously monitors the epidemic and environmental pollution, especially rubbish, dirt removal, and focus on large area due to high concentrations of disinfection of the follow-up monitoring and do a good job rebuilding preventive health supervision.
After the earthquake so that the water supply will suffer serious damage to facilities, centralized water supply interruption, distributed water supply are also subject to different degrees of damage.

Was the height of summer when the Tangshan earthquake, people urgently need drinking water. In the absence of available drinking water sources, including people had to drink rain water, pit water, pond water, swimming pool water, or even industrial wastewater, the incidence of intestinal infectious diseases caused by sharp rise.
Yue Lin said that testing has proved that widespread organic water pollution, coliform bacteria generally exceeded health standards, resulting in post-earthquake early, the incidence of intestinal infectious diseases dramatically increased, there was the treatment of gastro-intestinal diseases shortage of drugs there.
She suggested that the disaster areas should be undertaken as soon as the water quality testing, identification of drinking water, while vigorously carry out disinfection of drinking water quality and a wide range of health supervision in order to effectively reduce the incidence of intestinal infectious diseases. "It is dispersed or centralized water supply, the most important thing is disinfected, but also the prevention of body alkali poisoning the water around as soon as possible to remove the bodies."
Yue Lin pointed out that in cleaning up the remains should be wearing anti-virus with activated carbon filtration masks and gloves, with special attention to prevent the hand injury to avoid stained bacterial toxins cause poisoning after operate and must be carefully wash their hands before meals. To prevent tetanus infection, such as trauma, vaccination sera; approach should not be burned body to prevent contamination of the atmosphere and prevent the crowd inhalation poisoning. In addition, the buried bodies, we must pay attention to the local soil and groundwater may cause pollution must be conducted on the remains of sanitation.
"Although Sichuan disaster areas and the Tangshan disaster areas natural conditions, different living environment, is also a difference in an earthquake in more than two months, but the disaster area health and epidemic prevention problem is the same; environmental disaster areas in particular climatic conditions, the proposed pollution prevention The higher requirements. " Therefore, the "earthquake-stricken area health and epidemic prevention will be a tough battle." :tiphat: http://209.85.171.104/translate_c?h...ww.stnn.cc/china/200805/t20080516_780693.html

Our survey of the founding of the past, major natural disasters, particularly earthquakes and floods over, there will be major zoonotic disease epidemic.

Li Jinxiang that evoked the epidemic number of factors, involving animals: First, because a large number of livestock in the earthquake directly in the course of post-earthquake killed or missing due to lack of water and feed issues such as death, each animal is a bacteria and The breeding of the virus will damage the environment. Second, the earthquake destroyed the local natural environment, some of the bacteria in the soil, such as Bacillus anthracis and Clostridium tetanus, this type of bacteria can survive in the soil inside a few years or even decades, because of surface damage, these bacteria Exposed the outside, very easily lead to infection and livestock. The third is due to reduced resistance to animals, the survival of animals is likely to become virus spread of germs in the media. The fourth is the environment in the presence of bacteria and viruses easily through food, drinking water and wounds caused by infection of humans and animals. According to expert analysis, the threat of more human and animal diseases, such as viruses, for example, as bird flu, Japanese encephalitis and rabies; major category of bacteria have anthrax, tetanus and Streptococcus suis, and so on. 。 In addition, there is a class of parasitic diseases, such as swine cysticercosis, schistosomiasis, and so on.

China fights animal disease spread in quake areas
Sat May 17, 2008 10:25am EDT

BEIJING (Reuters) - An earthquake that killed at least 29,000 people in China also badly hurt livestock and crops in Sichuan province, and disinfection teams are spreading out to prevent more damage, officials said on Saturday.

The earthquake killed about 792,000 of Sichuan's estimated 60 million pigs, Li Jinxiang, head of the veterinary department at the Ministry of Agriculture, told reporters.

However, the number of breeding sows nationwide is up on last year, which could help stave off inflation, he told Reuters.

Rescue work is still going on for thousands buried in rubble after the May 12 quake, but with bodies in mass graves and water supplies disrupted, efforts now also include disinfection campaigns to prevent disease spreading among animals and people.

Poultry made up most of the 12.5 million birds and livestock killed by Monday's quake.

The quake has damaged infrastructure just ahead of the hot, humid summer, the peak season for diseases such as swine flu or blue ear pig disease, which decimated the hog population in 2007.

"Preventing disease is one of our largest responsibilities," Li said at a news conference in Beijing.

Li told Reuters the breeding sow population was now about 20 percent more nationwide than it was this time last year, when disease and poor profits discouraged breeding, helping to feed inflation which is now running at a nearly 12-year high.

The quake badly damaged fish farms and about 15 percent of vegetable production in the afflicted areas near the epicenter, the officials said. As many as 50,000 greenhouses were damaged.

Sichuan accounts for nearly 15 percent of China's rapeseed production, nearly 7 percent of summer grains and 5 percent of vegetables.

Although a national surplus of fertilizer should be able to make up for fertilizer plants damaged in industrial towns such as Shifang, damage to irrigation infrastructure would be harder to overcome, the officials said. Sichuan is releasing water from reservoirs to reduce pressure on weakened dams.

"Some rice paddies may have to be turned into dry fields this summer," said Wei Chaoan, vice minister of agriculture.

"Maybe, as this develops, many other problems will appear, including some we don't know about yet."

Decent treatment and prevention of plague victims can have both

日期:[2008-05-18] 版次:[A28]​

Being the highest vaccination command of the Ministry of Health, should provide uniform treatment options, so that each province is responsible for one county, is the implementation of specific responsibilities to enhance efficiency. However, in order to avoid or deal with the victims there are very decent risk of outbreaks of plague, or dealt with quickly or thoroughly disinfected has hurt the feelings of the victims in the appearance of things, Mianzhu the local government deal with the victims buried the way are worth considering.



Wenchuan major earthquake has occurred more than 96 hours a. With 72 hours after the earthquake "golden time" gradually and more distant, people now can only hope a miracle, but also prefer to believe that miracle. Although the occurrence of this miracle is very slim, but we will not abandon statement.

However, as time goes by the day, rescue teams to rescue people, the people with a desire to look forward to the miracle at the same time, the risk of disaster areas outbreak of plague has quietly approaching.

May 14, the State Council earthquake relief headquarters, head of health and epidemic prevention, the Ministry of Health Gao Qiang secretary of the party group in the State Information Office news conference that at present there was no disaster areas in Sichuan epidemic and other infectious diseases public health emergencies. The Ministry of Health decided to adopt the method of Baogan, responsible for the disaster areas of the county health and epidemic prevention work, early 14 vaccination teams had arrived on the 13th.

Anti-plague is the biggest problem - the handling of bodies of the victims. Not only because the bodies of the victims may have an impact on the environment, ground and water pollution, and dissemination of the gas and Canzhuang may greatly affect the work of rescue efforts, to be processed early.In the battlefield ambulance, the handling of the war dead bodies to burial or cremation of the general law. The cremation of the body while the sound of more thorough treatment, to the accumulation of dead bodies, add fuel burning, and then to burn. This approach will help prevent the epidemic, but the traditional Chinese people, from the mental and emotional seems difficult to accept.

15, the State Council earthquake relief headquarters, head of health and epidemic prevention, the Ministry of Health Gao Qiang secretary of the party group at a news conference that as soon as possible to properly handle the bodies. It is understood that the bodies of the treatment, has become a major challenge, on the one hand related to immunization, on the one hand to confirm the identity of the bodies.

The Ministry of Health leadership on this issue are very cautious answer, according to media reports Benbu, a media report that the disaster areas to take pictures after the cremation of the bodies by pouring petrol way, Gao Qiang said that to do so is estimated to be a lot of ideological work, the Ministry of Health Emergency Chen Xianyi, director of the Office said that this situation does not exist, the Ministry of Health medical affairs Secretary Yu said that too sensitive, is to study and solve.

The Ministry of Health on May 15 published on its website earthquake relief health and epidemic prevention programme of work, which dealt with the bodies of a series of note.

首​

First of all stressed that the natural bodies of murder victims do not normally cause epidemics. In the treatment of the bodies, we must be fully respected in accordance with the local clean-up and promptly buried the principle, kept as short as possible time.

According to another report, 16, Mianzhu of Sichuan death toll rose to more than 4250, due to the crematorium in the quake collapsed, in order to prevent high temperature after heavy rain caused the epidemic, Mianzhu deal with the local government bodies buried more than 3,600 of the total, nationwide mobilization spraying syrup Xiaosha bacteria.

Recalling the past, the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, urban nearly 100,000 bodies, is transported to the outskirts of the People's Liberation Army officers and soldiers buried. 1976 winter, Tangshan vaccination skeleton staff and more than 2,000 militia, all dug up the bodies, to move into the outskirts of eight cemetery buried enshrinement. Transfer only after the body disinfected with lime, a standardized buried. To test results buried, health and epidemic prevention experts in 1977 to bury the bodies of a comprehensive evaluation form, and from bacteria, viruses, chemicals, chemical, biological, pathology, soil, vegetables and other aspects of research. The facts show that the bodies buried after the transfer, the environment in good condition, caused no biological, chemical pollution, there is no source of infectious diseases.

Mianzhu deal with the local government buried the victims and the way in Tangshan earthquake enshrined Cemetery manner similar to the feelings are not only acceptable to the people, can effectively prevent an outbreak of plague; As for the Shifang In some areas, such as the use of one person, one pit, for the victims The number of the town, thousands of people simply can not do, and there are media reports of a disaster area to take pictures after the cremation of the bodies by pouring petrol way, the traditional Chinese people, from the mental and emotional seems difficult to accept .

Being the highest vaccination command of the Ministry of Health, should provide uniform treatment options, so that each province is responsible for one county, is the implementation of specific responsibilities to enhance efficiency. However, in order to avoid or deal with the victims there are very decent risk of outbreaks of plague, or dealt with quickly or thoroughly disinfected has hurt the feelings of the victims in the appearance of things, Mianzhu the local government deal with the victims buried the way are worth considering. :tiphat:
