Re: Egypt Human Cases Feb 25th +
OK, my friend translated this article a bit better for everyone:
Written by: Khalifa el Dessouky
Mohamed Youssef (Member of the parliamentary fraction of the Muslim Brotherhood of Tahta constituency, governorate of Suhag) recently visited two suspected cases of bird flu, for reassurance about them and the analysis held for them.
And the deputy explained that under the permanent declaration of the Ministry of Health that the situation is stable and the matter is under control, the fatal epidemic spread and invaded Tahta, an overpopulated city with few capabilities and many slums.
The deputy confirmed that one of the conditions [suspected cases] died yesterday Friday [Feb 22] and is called Amaal Salah Qubaisy Al Sayed (34 years), is married and has a four-month old daughter.
And the deputy explained what happened, saying "Our knowledge is that the woman was complaining of a coldness in the body, and by going to Dr. Khalafallah Fathi Abdul Aal (a doctor in the fevers hospital of Tahta) on Tuesday 19/2/2008, the case was diagnosed as a cold, and he reassured us by the absence of dead birds. Then the patient came once again on Thursday at 10 an evening 21/2/2008 AD and the was complaining of shortness of breath.
Youssef added: "The doctor immediately headed with the patient by himself to the central hospital of Tahta for X-rays and analysis for suspicion of the bird flu, and the doctor was not content with that, but for more reassurance he transferred her to the fevers hospital to rule out this suspicion, and confirmed by the joined diagnosis of the doctors that it is the bird flu.
The block member pointed out that the doctor has addressed all authorities from the police station, the veterinarians, the Environment and Health Department and the Fever Hospital Suhaj, and the doctor was not content with that, but went himself to Suhaj fevers hospital, accompanying the patient by a Tahta ambulance for her reception at 2:00 AM, explaining that he has drafted a report that was sent to the Minister of Health and the concerned authorities, until the horrible news came with the death of the patient on Friday 22/2/2008 at 4:00 PM and she transferred from Suhaj fevers hospital to the general hospital of Suhaj due to a lack of an artificial respiration device as said by the fevers hospital of Suhaj!
The deputy denounced the carelessness of the hospital of not taking a sample from the patient while she was there between 2 AM and 4 PM!
===========
The machine had left a few oddities (well, duh..LOL), and my friend had this to add:
"Anyway here is the corrected version of the translation. It might not be flawless, but it makes more sense than the machine version. Though I must say: The machine did a rather good job all in all, seeing how Arabic syntax and expressions can be. You must have wondered about the "blood money" thing somewhere in the middle of the machine translation. That's because of a typo in the Arabic text, and was just HILARIOUS when I read it the first time."
I hope this helps, and he will keep looking for more to translate or I can send him the more vital articles. Hopefully something will also pop up that he can spot in Egyptian news sources that us non-Arabic speakers might be missing.
Thanks for the welcome, and I'll be looking out, as always.
