Influenza A H1N1 pandemic will last at least two years, say
The influenza A H1N1 pandemic will last approximately two years, the doctor said today Ivan Allende, an official of the Ministry of Health and Welfare that works to combat the disease. In Paraguay the disease so far produced three deaths and hundreds of suspected and confirmed cases.

"The latest forecasts indicate that the pandemic could last two years," says the doctor 780 AM Ivan Allende, director of Health Surveillance in the country that continues the development of new and seasonal influenza A H1N1.
He said that this is an analysis made by the World Health Organization (WHO), which assesses the progress of the pandemic.
Allende said to be sick not only in the two months over winter, but in the summer and the following seasons. He recalled, in fact, the seasonal influenza that circulates throughout the year in the country.
He noted that the Ministry of Health maintains its strategy to prioritize the cases with symptoms, especially in the group considered at risk, "to prevent further deaths."
In this classification are pregnant, elderly, children under 5 years and patients with chronic heart, lung and diabetes.
