Prevention and control of avian influenza to avoid panic

Ocean News Time: 2015-01-29 Source: Guangzhou Daily Author: Wang He

Guangzhou Daily News (Reporter correspondent Wang He noble) "human avian influenza occurred in recent years. Such a death toll for the flu deaths accounted for only less than 0.5 / 10 000, and will not person to person, the death rate is very low in the cold, so selectmen Do you want to deal with this? "Yesterday, the Association of Guangdong Provincial Party informed the media during the two sessions this year, the province will present the" man of science to deal with bird flu prevention and control to prevent excessive proposal "proposal for the establishment of scientific and strict public health emergency mechanism to prevent excessive emergency response.

Public produce excessive fear

Proposal analysis, the current bird flu a day reporting system, too much attention to the media, the public had a human bird flu excessive fear, and even some false news of misinformation from time to time.

Proposal that the human bird flu is the flu, but far from the most harmful to human influenza. According to the Guangdong Provincial Health Department: As of July 2014, the world total of people infected with H7N9 influenza cases reported 451 cases (of which 435 cases reported nationwide, Guangdong 109 cases), 172 cases of death, mortality was 38.1%; reports of human infection 667 cases of H5N1 influenza cases (including 41 cases reported nationwide, Guangdong four cases), 393 cases of death, mortality was 58.9%.

Proposal analysis, from a statistical point of view a very high mortality rate, but this calculation is wrong. "Mortality is calculated by dividing the number of deaths due to illness should be the number of people sick, rather than the number of patients admitted to hospital with severe, but the number is how many sick? Very difficult to calculate, so far from these mortality is so high, it is difficult to make a statistical . "

The proposal also noted that the current bird flu is not transmitted person to person, and the person is not necessarily the source of infection of avian influenza in poultry. It is reported confirmed cases notified in the country and 40 percent said never in direct contact with poultry. Proposal believes that the current in the prevention and control of avian influenza evasive, the measures taken are open to question. Research indicates that human avian influenza virus can survive in the long-term infected poultry manure, water and paper towels, and the longer survival time in the cold environment; more objects in the freezer indefinitely survive.

Proposal as soon as possible to support and recovery-related industries

In this regard, the proposal recommends the flu as a high-fat, high dangers of infectious diseases, we must continue to be given high priority. But to establish a scientific evaluation mechanism to identify the greatest threats to health virus types targeted to take effective measures to prevent and control given the limited resources to where it is needed most. At the same time should strengthen correct guidance, eliminate the public panic over bird flu.

Since the Association of Political Party "proposed" that reporting bird flu cases each day by the Guangdong Emergency Service department is giving "too much attention to the media" no additional H7N9 cases have been announced.

This is a threat to public health. Recently 2 people landing in Canada from China, both infected with the H7N9 virus.

Government of Canada and British Columbia confirm case of H7N9 avian influenza in Canada: ex-China - January 26, 2015
