The WHO experts have been accused of creating undue alarm about pandemic
The actual incidence of the common cold is six times greater calm and serenity, prescription necessary to combat the disease
Send it imposes calm as the best recipe against influenza storm. The peak of infection of the dreaded influenza is coming, but the alarms have sounded and apocalyptic intensity and dyes, putting the country "on the brink of a nervous breakdown.
We must lower the pitch and face the situation with a "serenity" that has been conspicuous by its absence, agree family physicians, pediatricians, and epidemiologists, who this week denounced the excessive fear of the pandemic. The alarm generates an "exaggerated fear" in the population, which blamed, in part, to the World Health Organization (WHO), which amounted involvement in 30% of world population.
The owner of Health, Trinidad Jimenez, praised for its ability to spread consensus, admitted that "we may be exaggerating a little." It is a fact that the new flu has claimed nearly 3,000 lives across the ally-24 in Spain, a drip of deaths broadcast live by the media, and that number will rise. But the vast majority of those infected with the virus here AH1N1-some 23,000 per week-as due to paracetamol and rest.
The virus now affects 54 of every 100,000 Spanish, but is much less deadly than the common flu, six to eight times more violent. The rate of seasonal flu, which kills about 3,000 people in Spain, has scored maximum of 400 cases per 100,000 population. The peak year was 220 cases. Of the 140,000 registered influenza processes since May in Spain, just a hundred showed severe symptoms. The 24 deaths are 0.018% of those infected.
Tackling the alarmism is a common objective of all experts, Send?n Jose Rodriguez, president of the Medical College Organization at the head. "He exaggerates and slips the question into the realm of fantasy" regrets this doctor from experience that gives "face flu campaigns in the last 32 years." "Touch have what is, compared with the past, and what happened in the southern hemisphere. No vaccine, mortality was not apocalyptic, and the incidence partner, if not less, to the common flu "he says. "If circumstances change, we change the answers, which so far have been exaggerated.
Dr. Rodriguez Send?n pledges do not distress by pointing responsible for the "epidemic of fear that is worse than the pandemic," based "on economic interests of those who want to sell masks, soaps or hydrous alcohol. WHO also points to the message that it has launched "very alarming". "They are technically excellent, but I think they have gone," says the president of the Spanish doctors. It is understood that this bird is compared with the misnamed Spanish flu of 1918 and to speak of hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide.
Jose Maria Cots, coordinator of the infectious diseases of the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine also believes that the WHO has fed the climate of alarm. "It's the ultimate global authority on health, but might have healed in health" he admits. He also is cautious, and though no one can know that will happen "commitment" to provide truthful information to the population ".
The decisive week
"Influenza A common difference of which is affecting us in the summer instead of the last weeks of the year, and in a small percentage strikes young people under 55 years instead of those over 65 who suffer most the common, "stresses Cots.
He believes that Health had acted "correctly" and too confident in the effectiveness of vaccine in the health system "tested eleven years ago with another influenza pandemic with much mortality."
A mutated virus and more violent it is possible but not probable. "The virus can mutate, but it is unlikely. The mutation occurs in animals, not humans. The pork comes AH1N1, large laboratory where he has combined genetic material from swine flu, some avian and human influenza anything. Previously, the virus remained in the pig, but it could mutate, allowing to jump between species and pass to humans. Unlike the flu that did not pass from human to human, this one, "concludes Dr. Cots, who calmly asks to meet the winter peak of infection" with all flu occurs in week 52 of each year. " "Family doctors are the vanguard, we must respond and prevent the collapse of the system. 95% of those affected will be mild and will seek primary care, where will also 5% of the bass, of which only 1 or 2% need to be entered. But in the midst of that peak, we continue to treat infarcted and all diseases that present us, "says the spokesman of the 20,000 Spanish professionals in primary care.
Also Jos? Luis Bonal, president of the Spanish Society of Pediatrics calls for calm and calling for "normalcy" to ensure the care they need small. "We must remove the drama of the situation and not to speculate" proposes. Health approves the decision not to vaccinate all children under 14 years, which affects influenza A less than common. "Mass vaccination is pointless. Should be vaccinated who have conditions that may apply, such as respiratory or cardiovascular ', coincides with Health. The children are currently the most affected group, which corresponds to adolescents and young adults. 54% of sufferers are male and 46% women.
Dr. Rodriguez Send?n appeals to the responsibility of a media alert to those killed by the virus and to "forget" to 95% of infected in excess of the flu. 'Broadcast live each death scares people, especially the chronically ill who are most threatened. "
