And another confirmed case ex Ukraine.

http://news.am/en/news/7924.html

Azerbaijani resident of Kurdamir region was tested positive for A/H1N1 virus, Azerbaijani APA news agency reports.

According to the source, he was taken to Scientific-Research Pulmonology Institute. Currently he is under medical supervision.

The infected citizen lived in Ivanovo-Frankovsk province of Ukraine and returned in the end of October.

Azerbaijan is among 90 states that World Health Organization (WHO) distributed 300 million vaccination doses against swine flu.

Re: Ukraine- Pandemic Influenza - Ministry of Health says 478,000 cases & 87 deaths

It is becoming clear that even the 400,000+ cases might be a severe undercount - it seems 5-10% of the country is ill, and that might be a couple million cases or more.

Swine flu reaches Kyiv, one death confirmed
Today at 12:35 | Staff reports Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko on Nov. 4 said the Heath Ministry has recorded the first swine flu related death in Kyiv obast.

She made the announcement during a closed-circuit video conference with the heads of the country?s regional administrations, during which Kyiv region governor Victor Vakarash reported that two people from villages south of the capital were recently hospitalized with flu-like symptoms.

"I've just received a report from the health minister confirming the death of a man from California flu [A(H1N1) flu virus]," Tymoshenko said.

One emergency health worker in Kyiv told the Post on Nov. 4 that at least two Kyiv residents have died from the swine flu and another 90 are sick with flu-like illnesses.

"We are forbidden to make this information public," the health worker said.

Re: Ukraine- Pandemic Influenza - Ministry of Health says 478,000 cases & 87 deaths

I want to highlight that Kiev is the capital of Ukraine.

Rome, conversely, is Italy capital.

Rome has more than three million of inhabitants and today alone has had at least two/three deaths cases of H1N1 2009.

This week Italy has reported ILI cases for 496,000 individuals.

Mutated strain?

Yes. It may be.

Further explanation, needed (but not excuses for unprepared officials...)
 
Re: Ukraine- Pandemic Influenza - Ministry of Health says 478,000 cases & 87 deaths

Re: Ukraine- Pandemic Influenza - Ministry of Health says 478,000 cases & 87 deaths

All options are stil open.

It was iritating to hear in diferent areas, the usage of generic namings ARD/ARV/.../viral illness, without naming it scientificaly.

With all these worldwide labs, an agent could be identified very fast, say it a week.

So why it is stil not? Does it the WHO name it out soon?

It will be seen, if such "generic" viral agent will be named before it will invaded all the European continent (and wider) if it is it to blame, not flu.


It remains the chemtrail rumour option also:
#332:
"What’s more, the dramatic appeal came amidst rumours of biological warfare in the capital Kiev. A plane was said to have flown over the city releasing powder containing a mutated variety of the virus."

Ukraine Nurses, Patients Make Masks as Flu Spreads (Update1)
Share Business ExchangeTwitterFacebook| Email | Print | A A A By Daryna Krasnolutska, Halia Pavliva and Kateryna Choursina

Nov. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Nurses and patients at the town hospital in Chernivstsi, Ukraine, came together in an unusual task today: making their own protective masks.

?We bought gauze, people sat down and stitched the masks for the doctors,? said Oleh Kaminskyi, a doctor who works at the hospital. ?Now we?re washing and ironing them.?

Ukraine, battling an outbreak of respiratory disease that?s sickened 478,400 people and killed 81, is struggling with a lack of protective equipment, antiviral drugs and laboratory facilities to confirm whether the H1N1 pandemic virus is causing the disease. Many residents are staying at home and turning to natural remedies such as garlic to ward off the virus.

Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko said in an urgent address to the nation today that the country?s flu outbreak is ?unique? because three flu strains are spreading at the same time. That increases the risk of mutations of the viruses into a new strain, he said, citing unnamed domestic and foreign experts. The World Health Organization sent a team of scientists and advisers to Ukraine this week to investigate the outbreak.

The country?s Council for National Security and Defense is taking over management of the epidemic now, Yushchenko said, adding that the government has failed to control the spread of illness from the western Ternopil region.

?Scared?

?Everyone is scared,? said Hryhoriy Stasiv, chief medical doctor at a division of Lviv?s First Clinical Hospital, in a telephone interview. ?We don?t have masks. We don?t have medicines. We see on TV that drugs are on the way, but it?s been a while and they?re still not here.?

Ukraine, an eastern European nation with 46 million people that borders the European Union, has asked the U.S., the EU, NATO and neighbors for anti-flu drugs. Poland and Slovakia sent protective masks and Roche Holding AG?s drug Tamiflu after Yushchenko said the country couldn?t fight an outbreak of pandemic influenza alone.

Tamiflu has arrived at the hospital in Lviv, near the Polish border, though the medicine can only be used for severe cases of people confirmed to have H1N1, or swine flu, said Natalya Pohmurska, a doctor who works there. Because the local laboratory is closed, samples have to be shipped to Kiev, and take three days to return with a result, Pohmurska said.

Garlic and Honey

?I tell my patients to eat garlic, honey, herbal tea, cabbage and take lots of vitamins,? she said. ?We lack masks. We got six for the week. Although they?re supposed to be used once, we wash them and iron them to be able to re-use them.?

Ukraine?s government closed schools and banned public events on Oct. 30. In Kiev, the capital, people wear masks on the streets, pharmacies hang handwritten signs that read ?no masks for sale? and theaters are shut. The Health Ministry today said the death toll rose to 81, up from an estimated 71 yesterday, according to a statement on its Web site.

The hospital in Kamyanets-Podilskyi, in southwestern Ukraine, sent home patients scheduled for non-urgent surgery and turned units devoted to drug and alcohol addiction into wards for flu patients, said Tetyana Ocheretenko, a local doctor.

?We weren?t ready for this outbreak,? said Kaminskyi, the doctor from Chernivstsi.

Ukraine?s 2009 state budget devoted 10 times less money to combating epidemic outbreaks than in the previous year. The money allocated to epidemics was 500,000 hryvnia ($60,423), down from 5 million hryvnia a year ago, according to the Web site of the Ukrainian parliament.

Flu Pandemic

The WHO declared the first influenza pandemic since 1968 on June 11 after raising its alert level three times. A pandemic means a new flu strain is sweeping across the globe. Seasonal flu kills as many as 500,000 people a year worldwide, according to the Geneva-based United Nations health agency.

Laboratory tests in Kiev confirmed swine flu in 17 samples taken from patients, First Deputy Health Ministry Vasyl Lazoryshynets said yesterday. The WHO?s Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza Samples in London received samples sent by the Ministry of Health in Ukraine, the United Nations health agency said. The laboratory will conduct confirmatory tests.

Viktor Yushchenko: Перейдены all border

Print Add commentary [6]

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

On Wednesday President Yushchenko appealed to the people, although this event was originally announced as a meeting with the media. "Meeting" by tradition started 2 hours later than scheduled time.

In his speech, the president actually has accused the prime minister and opposition leaders sit at a time when they already knew about the epidemic beginning.

Judging from the words of Yushchenko, he said that personally he did everything in order to change the health care system, but had no levers of influence in a situation where the executive is subordinate to the president. Therefore proposes to change the system. The system of government in general.

Dear compatriots!

I am writing to you, fulfilling his constitutional duty under Article 106 of the Basic Law of the state.

The reason - the emergency epidemic situation in the country.

Ukraine rapid spread of viral origin of infection, including influenza virus A/H1N1.

On the excessiveness of the situation says the scale of the epidemic: the speed and the geography of its distribution, blyskavychnist illness and an exceptional number of deaths.

Dying people. The epidemic is killing doctors. This - even unprecedented and inconceivable in the XXI century.

Any limits passed by - even those under the Constitution restrict my actions as president.

Therefore, motivated by the most important: the security of your life and your health.

So give a clear and frank assessment of the situation. And you should know about it.

We have special risk factors that burden the epidemic is in Ukraine.

This is evidenced by the findings of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, many of my consultations with national and international experts.

First. Unlike similar epidemics in other countries in Ukraine at the same time came the three agents of heavy virus infections: two seasonal influenza and "California."

According to the virologist, is a combination of infections due to mutation, can give even more aggressive, the new virus.


That's why I turned to the United Nations to make a virological examination in Ukraine and to create the appropriate laboratory to advance to take preventive measures.

Second. "California" virus is highly variable. In Ukraine, it appeared, after half a globe.

This means that the virus has become particularly pathogenic force.

This means that medical care is necessary to strengthen the means of emergency, critical care treatment.

The third risk factor. Admittedly, the only means of preventing any infection is vaccination.

As a result of non-professional and highly disorganized vaccination campaign against measles and rubella in Ukraine vaktsynatsiy practice compromised in principle.

Today we can say to the Minister of Health estimates in Ukraine vaccinated approximately 58% at the effective level of 90% and higher.

People stopped vaktsynuvatys against extremely dangerous infections: tuberculosis, diphtheria, and so on.

This led to a high risk of spread of infection at the time came to Ukraine virus California influenza that eliminating preventive vaccination against both seasonal influenza.

All this with more complicated general epidemic situation in Ukraine.

As head of state I ask you, dear compatriots, to reconsider its attitude to vaccination and, if necessary, but only, I emphasize - only after consultation with the doctor to do it.

At the same time, commend the Government, the Ministry of Health to immediately deploy preventive and promotional work in areas where there is no epidemic, Providing for honest primarily on special risk groups.

Require the Government to immediately cancel the existing order of registration of medical supplies, including vaccines.

Studying this issue at the National Security and Defense Council found that this procedure made it possible to deliver various dealers in the country of dubious medicines and vaccines that are not recognized in the WHO and other national institutions.

Under my direction, now the question is investigating the security services.

The fourth factor. And really - the fourth reactor.

This epidemic, the rapid spread of viral infections of the nature of the west. This was known to the government, the leadership of Parliament and the opposition in early October this year.

First, the most effective means of prevention - to prevent the gathering of people.

Ignoring this principle, in Kyiv was imported hundreds of thousands of people from different regions - and epidemic foci, and areas where there was no evidence of this epidemic.

It sharply increased risk of infection.

I emphasize: this was known. This is ignored: the head of the parliament, and opposition leader and first prime minister. And your duty is not complied with official and Chief Medical Officer and his subordinates in areas including the city of Kiev.

This is directly reminiscent of May Day demonstrations in Kiev after the accident at Chernobyl.

This is - an expression of criminal irresponsibility of politicians and complete indifference to the people.

Let me cite one example. 20 October in Ternopil declared the epidemic of influenza, schools, kindergartens closed for quarantine. 21 October in Ternopil stop teaching in secondary, primary schools in the increasing incidence of influenza and ARI. It is available to local authorities.

As of October 20 the incidence of ARI in Ternopil is 172.9 cases per 10 thousand people, epidemiological threshold for Ternopil is 160 patients per 10 thousand population. In other words - all services of the country, who control the figure, were informed and knew about the situation.

However, no ambulance or doctor banned the movement of people, nor their collection - including those in the city-heroes Kiev, October 24 when meeting the corresponding square.

I recall, my dear, to October 24, 2009 in Ternopil region itself has been reported 10 deaths, 6 deaths - in the Lviv region. And after the square, 7 days Kyiv was the circumstances under which reached the level of morbidity, followed by the announcement put a flu epidemic.

This seemingly simple problem of great politics. Neglect of elementary means, that begins with prevention against the disease in any country in the world, any society. And we must show conduct, we have concerts, I was already paid for 130 million has been spent.

This, dear Ukrainian, I see not only moral but also criminal liability.

I turned to the Prosecutor General of Ukraine to demand criminal charges of criminal negligence, which is found primarily Chief State Sanitary Doctor of Ukraine, Kyiv city sanitarian, officials who have daily information on the epidemic situation in the country, but for the political ambitions of dividends and is not stopped nothing.

Now only the principle of preventive measures at the national scale should be as follows:

We treat the West and all forces defending East, Central, North and South of Ukraine.

I now rely solely on the professionalism of our doctors. Today they are the true heroes of our nation.

Once again ask the government to order the National Security and Defense - to resolve the issue of wages of our doctors in this difficult period for the country.

Five factors. Dear compatriots, the challenges that repeatedly robbed situation - chaos in the system of health care and protection of human life.

Today we should recognize that Ukraine has no single area of health. Exclusion, ie, prevention of any infection, including - through vaccination, localization and overcome the consequences of epidemics are the sole responsibility of the State sanitary-epidemiological service of Ukraine.

It is headed by Chief Medical Officer. He appoints the prime minister.

The Constitution, after changes in 2004 gave the state policy implementation in healthcare to the exclusive powers of the government.

Practice the use of these powers, as evidenced today, a failure.

Executive power in Ukraine is not subordinate to the President, I plan zaproponovuvav holistic healthcare reform, and - for years - a set of instructions and recommendations that helped create the optimal model of the system. My remarks served only as arbitrary interference in the work of the government and beg criticism.

Back in April 2009 I asked the government to demand a special interdepartmental commission against the spread of influenza viruses, influenza finance center and take all measures to protect the country against influenza. Including, to have adequate availability of medicines, masks and all necessary.

Partial implementation of instructions is the result.

Ignored is not me - ignore the people, people. Of course why. For Ukraine still has an unfair system of care - one for power, the other - for the people.

We must change the system. We must change the entire system of government in Ukraine.

But now, at this moment time and waiting for vmovlyan no.

The main center of decision-making has become the National Security and Defense.

Failure of its decisions will be accompanied by immediate application to law enforcement.

I recall this all responsible persons and draws attention to all of my orders, made in Ukraine four days ago. After three days of the deadline expires orders.

His decision vvodzhu as Minister of Health and Chief Medical Officer of Ukraine to the Council for National Security and Defense.

I am conscious of its responsibility.

I express deep condolences to the families and relatives of the dead.

I express my deep appreciation to doctors who risked themselves today, save our people. I am impressed by this sacrifice. This commitment means that the epidemic will be stopped.

I ask all of you, dear compatriots, to show solidarity, mutual support, and strictly adhere to all the remedies of their own health and life.

State not for a moment did not stand aside.

Thank you.

It seems the deaths are coming from H1N1 and two other seasonal strains circulating at the same time.

Re: Ukraine- Pandemic Influenza - Ministry of Health says 478,000 cases & 87 deaths

Three strains: two ''seasonal'' and the pandemic one.

Earlier, EuroFlu indicated that in neighbor Russia regions an H3 driven influenza activity was reported.

The other ''seasonal'' strain may be a type B, since seasonal H1N1 seems to be almost disappeared elsewhere.

Co-circulation of H3 and H1N1 2009 was previously reported in South Africa and Hong Kong PRC SAR.

After some weeks, the H1N1 2009 became dominant.

Co-infections were repoted by France.

Clearly, the Ukraine situation needs urgent clarifications.

During Hong Kong PRC SAR summer epidemic peak, H3N2 was responsible of several fatal cases among older people and with other severe underlying conditions.

With the progression of season, Hong Kong has seen H1N1 2009 becoming dominant and no further notice of fatal cases caused by other subtypes have been released.

Re: Ukraine- Pandemic Influenza - Ministry of Health says 478,000 cases & 87 deaths

President's address to the Ukrainian people on the occasion of flu epidemic in Ukraine
Dear fellow citizens!

I address you in performance of my constitutional duty under the Article 106 of the Basic Law of the state.

The reason is the emergency epidemic situation in the country.

Infections of viral origin, including the A/H1N1 flu, are rapidly spreading across Ukraine.

The emergency is evident in the scale of the epidemic: the speed and the geography of its spreading, rapid progress of the illness and the exceptional number of deaths.

People are dying. The epidemic is killing doctors. This is absolutely unprecedented and inconceivable in the XXI century.

All the limits have been exceeded - even those under the Constitution that determine my actions as the President.

Therefore I am motivated by the most important: the security of your life and your health.

Therefore I give clear and frank assessment of the situation. And you should know that.

We have special risk factors that aggravate the epidemic in Ukraine.

The conclusions of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, my numerous consultations with national and international experts show that.

First. Unlike similar epidemics in other countries, three pathogens of viral infections came to Ukraine at the same time: two of them are seasonal flu and the third is the A/H1N1.

According to virologists, such a combination of infections due to mutation may produce a new, even more aggressive virus.

That's why I have addressed the United Nations with the request to conduct a virologic examination in Ukraine and to establish the appropriate laboratory in order to take timely preventive measures.

Second. The A/H1N1 virus is easily mutating. It has travelled across half of the globe before coming to Ukraine.

This means that the virus has become particularly pathogenic.

This means that medical aid must be urgently reinforced by emergency, critical care treatment.

The third risk factor. It is generally known that the only way to prevent any infection is vaccination.

Due to unprofessional and highly disorganized vaccination against measles and rubella in Ukraine the practice of vaccination is compromised in essence.

According to the estimates of the Minister of Health approximately 58% of citizens are vaccinated today in Ukraine with the effective level being 90% and higher.

People have stopped getting vaccinated against extremely dangerous infections: tuberculosis, diphtheria, etc.

This led to high risk of A/H1N1 infection spread, when the virus came to Ukraine and made impossible preventive vaccination against both strains of seasonal flu.

All this made general epidemic situation in Ukraine even more complicated.

As the President I ask you, dear fellow citizens, to reconsider your attitude to vaccination and do it if necessary, but only, I emphasize it - only after consultation with the doctor.

At the same time I instruct the Government and the Ministry of Health to immediately start preventive and promotional work in areas where there is no epidemic, targeting primarily the special risk groups.

I demand the Government to immediately cancel the existing order of registration of medical supplies, including vaccines.

Studying this issue by the National Security and Defense Council shown that this procedure has allowed various dealers to bring to Ukraine dubious medicines, which are not recognized by the WHO or other national institutions.

Under my direction the Security Service is investigating the issue.

The fourth factor. In reality it is the Reactor 4.

I mean the epidemic, rapid spread of viral infections in the west of the country. The Government, the leadership of the Parliament and the opposition were all aware of that already in early October.

The first and the most effective preventive measure is avoiding large gatherings of people.

Ignoring this principle, hundreds of thousands of people from different regions were brought to Kyiv; from both the areas struck by the epidemic, and those where there was no evidence of this epidemic.

This greatly increased the risk of infection.

I emphasize: it was a well-known thing. And it was ignored by the Chairman of the Parliament, by the opposition leader and, first of all, by the Prime Minister. And Chief Sanitary Inspector, together with his subordinates in the regions, including those in the city of Kiev ignored their professional duty.

This directly reminds of the May Day demonstration in Kiev, held shortly after the accident at Chernobyl NPP.

This is a display of criminal irresponsibility of politicians and complete indifference towards the people.

Let me cite one example. On October 20 the epidemic of flu was declared in Ternopil with schools and kindergartens closed for quarantine. "From October 21 secondary and primary schools are closed due to the growing rate of flu and ARD sickness?. This was the order of local authorities.

As of October 20 the rate of ARD in Ternopil was 172.9 cases per 10 thousand people with epidemiological threshold for the city being 160 patients per 10 thousand people. In other words - all services of the country responsible for monitoring the figure were informed and knew about the situation.

However, not a single Sanitary Inspector has banned either the movement of people, nor their gathering, including those in Kiev on October 24, when people have gathered at the central square.

I would like to remind you, my dear, that on October 24, 2009 10 deaths were known to have occurred in Ternopil region itself and 6 deaths were reported in Lviv region. And in 7 days after the abovementioned gathering Kyiv turned out in the situation, when the rate of sickness demanded the announcement of flu epidemic. This is the behavior of the great politicians. The neglect of elementary means of prevention of a disease in any country in the world, by any society. Because they must conduct a show, they have concerts, because they were paid for and 130 million have already been spent.

In that, dear Ukrainians, I see not only moral but also criminal liability.

I have addressed the Prosecutor General of Ukraine with the request to institute criminal charges of negligence committed by first of all the Chief Sanitary Inspector, Kyiv City Sanitarian and the officials, who, despite having daily information on the epidemic situation in the country, neglected it in pursuit of political dividends and ambition.

Now, the only principle of organizing preventive measures at the national scale should be as follows:

We treat the West and defend East, Center, North and South of Ukraine amain.

I now rely solely on the professionalism of our doctors. Today they are the true heroes of our nation.

I once again demand the Government to comply with the order the National Security and Defense Council to resolve the issue of wages for our doctors in this difficult period for the country.

The fifth factor.

Dear fellow citizens, the key threat that is aggravating the situation is chaos in the system of healthcare and protection of lives of people.

Today we must recognize that Ukraine does not have a single healthcare system. Prevention of any infection, including through vaccination, the localization and overcoming the consequences of epidemics is the responsibility of the State Sanitary-Epidemiological Service of Ukraine.

The Service is headed by the Chief Sanitary Inspector. He is appointed by the Prime Minister.

The current Constitution after alterations in 2004 makes the Government solely responsible for conducting state healthcare policy.

The practice of using the power, as evident today, is a failure.

To the executive power, which is not subordinate to the President, I have suggested the holistic healthcare reforms plan and a set of instructions and recommendations that would help create the optimal model of the system for years to come. My remarks were presented as the groundless interference in Government?s work and as the unfounded criticism.

Back in April of 2009 I addressed the Government with the request to establish a special interdepartmental commission on fighting the spread of flu viruses, to finance the establishment of Flu Center and to take all measures to protect the country against flu. That included providing adequate availability of medicines, facemasks and all other necessaries.

Partial implementation of the instructions has its consequences.

They were not ignoring me ? they were ignoring the people, the citizens. It is clear why. Because Ukraine still has unfair system of healthcare - one is for the power, the other is for the people.

We must change the system. We must change the entire system of government in Ukraine.

But now, in this moment there is no time for waiting or remonstrance.

National Security and Defense Council should become the center of decision-making.

Failure to comply with its orders will immediately result in application to the law enforcement authorities.

I remind all the responsible persons and draw attention to all of my orders, made in Lviv four days ago. In three days the deadline for compliance with these orders expires.

With my decree I put Minister of Health and Chief Sanitary Inspector of Ukraine into the Council for National Security and Defense.

I am conscious of my responsibility.

I express deep condolences to the families and relatives of those who have died.

I express my deep appreciation to doctors, who are saving our people risking their own lives. I am moved by this sacrifice. Such a commitment means that the epidemic will be stopped.

I appeal to all of you, dear fellow citizens, to show solidarity, mutual support, and strictly adhere to all the safety regulations regarding protection of your health and lives.

For not a single moment you will be left alone by the state.

Thank you for your attention.

Re: Ukraine- Pandemic Influenza - Ministry of Health says 478,000 cases & 87 deaths

Here is a possible cause for the large number of cases in a short period of time - there were apparently large political rallies during a flu outbreak.

http://www.euronews.net/2009/11/05/a-mix-of-election-fever-and-flu-in-ukraine/

The swine flu has spread into the political arena in Ukraine.

President Viktor Yushchenko has accused opponents running against him in a January presidential election of criminal negligence in the way they have handled an outbreak of swine flu.

And there is a shortage of available face masks in the country, according to two pharmacy customers:

?I have the flu but I do not know what type. They did not do any tests on me, But I?m fine. I hope I do not infect anybody.?

?They promised to bring in anti-viral medicines, but warehouses are empty. Do you have facial masks?
No, we do not have any.?

The search for facial masks and medicine has prompted some Ukrainians to cross the border into Hungary. More than 80 people have died since mid-October of the flu and other respiratory illnesses. The World Health Organization says it assumes most flu cases in Ukraine have been caused by the H1N1 virus.

President Yushchenko claims his arch rival, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and former premier Viktor Yanukovich were aware of a flu epidemic when they organized mass rallies to support their presidential campaigns.

He has asked the General Prosecutor?s Office to open a criminal investigation into negligence among top government members.
