There are now 1.3 million infected in Ukraine, and over 75,000 hospitalized — IN FOURTEEN DAYS - and NOTHING IN THE MASS MEDIA!
Forward projection of the epidemic is difficult - Deaths globally may be in the millions.
The new flu strain, which I contend is spreading in Ukraine and Belarus, is characterized by a lightning form of viral pneumonia - very similar to what happened in 1918. The new flu virus appears to have profound tissue affinity for sialic acid receptors deep in the lungs, replicating in the alveoli.
To put it mildly, the lungs fill with blood. Quotes from Ukrainian officials included quotes such as “total destruction of the lungs.” Ukrainian Doctor Viktor Bachinsky has stated, “The virus causing the deaths is extremely aggressive — it doesn’t first infect the throat (as is common in flu), but strikes the lungs directly.” In Ukraine’s western Chernovetsky region, an epicenter of the outbreak, doctors have said lab tests showed at least some of the fatalties appeared to be caused by a flu dissimilar to both common flu and swine flu. In other words, a mutant flu.
I have multiple sources confirming spot outbreaks of viral pneumonia in Eastern Europe, including official and non-official entities.
Some may not be aware, but our government has spent immense amounts of money resurrecting the deadly 1918 flu virus which killed millions of people
If one examines the charts posted at the beginning of this article, it becomes apparent the Ukraine outbreak begins approximately Oct 28 – 30, 2009 if we are to believe the official statistics.
Additionally , we know the Ukrainian government’s daily statistical updates began on October 28th 2009, when the rate of infections began to increase from a previously established baseline.
What is curious is that this time frame coincides with reports of low-altitude aerial spraying in areas where the virus spread the most rapidly, particularly the Lviv region. In fact, reports to the Ukrainian government regarding low-altitude aerial spraying around Halloween reached such a high incidence, the government was forced to issue an official denial that were any aerial ‘flu reduction operations’ in progress.
Last year, Chicago-based Baxter Pharmaceutical sent deadly contaminated flu vaccine to multiple sub-contractor laboratories in multiple countries – to include, at minimum Czech Republic, Slovania, Austria, and Germany. Baxter’s vaccine product was represented as H3N2 “seasonal flu” vaccine material – but this product that was somehow “accidentally” contaminated with the 30-80% deadly H5N1 ‘bird flu’. Theoretically, this could have caused a terrible global plague had this egregious mistake not been caught by a sub-sub-contractor called Biotest in the Czech Republic , who by a miracle decided to inject their animals, and noticed all their laboratory ferrets contracted lethal illness after testing Baxter’s deadly vaccine material.
The death toll from the flu epidemic in Ukraine has reached 328, with 12 deaths registered over the past 24 hours, the health ministry said on Wednesday.
Last week, Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) chief, Raisa Bohatyryova, said there were "constitutional prerequisites" for a state of emergency amid the flu epidemic, which has left a total of 1,457,564 people infected as of November 18.
Dont know if this will come through but it's the Google-English translation of today's ZIK newspaper front page -- much information on that epidemic there-- Google Translate
^ "All victims of the virus in Bukovina (22 persons aged 20 to 40 years) died not from bilateral pneumonia, as previously thought, resulting in viral distress syndrome, ie total destruction of the lungs.""
"Since the virus was first identified in April, 129 children in the U.S. have died of complications from H1N1."
"The Geneva-based UN health agency recommends monitoring farm workers for signs of respiratory illness, given that 'the potential exists for novel influenza viruses to be generated in animals other than swine.'"
It's a pandemic. All it takes is one person to travel and spread it.
Look how quick H1N1 spread throughout the world.
This is not that "mild" swine flu virus. This is worse.
Agreed. Doesn't this remind you of the 'Hot Zone' scare in the 1980's? The guy that literally dissolved on the flight to the US, could have caused a Marbury pandemic if he had de-boarded. There was also the Ebola virus destroying whole villages in Africa. What happened to those?
