Swine flu broke Turkmen border
Last week in Ashgabat urban infectious diseases hospital from complications of swine influenza (A/H1N1), two people died.
This is what we were able to confirm from their sources. No official confirmation of this, but the population of the Turkmen capital frightened.
No advocacy for the prevention of epidemic diseases, especially with the media, non-existent. Apparently the authorities feared spoil drawn by themselves, the image of a prosperous country, which largely bypassed by the economic crises and epidemics.
Teachers in schools require students to calm. But the only thing that teachers can tell students - is "Do not believe rumors." And according to rumors, which run in Ashgabat, the effects of swine influenza have died more than 100 people.
At the same time, some shops and barber shops, staff is respiratory masks. In the bazaars, can be also seen sellers in gauze bandages. In pharmacies, people are buying up all suppressing anti drugs.
However, respiratory masks, to our knowledge, there is only one pharmacy (№ 4) of the city.
Apparently, the public health services of the capital were not ready for the epidemic.
