Ukraine flu

First heard of it a fortnight ago. They were just unprepared for it and it doesn't seem any worse than ours. The tv stations and newspapers are making a big ballyhoo about it and politicians are trying to make capital out of it in the run up to elections. WHO sent ateam to investigate about a week ago.

There's a thread on www.flutrackers.com

On the other hand, if this news report is accurate, it could be a more deadly mutation.


KIEV, November 12 (RIA Novosti) - The number of deaths in Ukraine from flu viruses has risen to 239, with 26 passing away over the past 24 hours, the Health Ministry said Thursday.

The ministry said earlier that 15 regions in the ex-Soviet republic had already crossed the flu epidemic threshold, while 11 provinces were close to it. The Ukrainian government imposed quarantine in nine western provinces in late October in an attempt to curb the spread of flu.

All educational establishments in the capital Kiev were closed, and people were obliged to wear medical masks in all catering establishments, shops and social services facilities across the former Soviet republic.

I read a thing that the Mossad agent that got arrested in the U.S a couple of months ago said in a radio interview that a virus had been released in the Ukraine.A week later he's arrested.

a thing you say, sounds serious.
