The World Health Organization (OMS) today raised the alert for the outbreak of swine influenza at level five, which means health emergency declared in member countries of the body have been affected.

The guide Alert and Response to an Influenza Pandemic of OMS indicated that since the stage five are advised to limit travel to affected areas and to establish surveillance and infrared cameras that show the body temperature at points of entry and Out of the countries.

The closure of borders will be evaluated in the case of each State concerned in accordance with the evolution of the outbreak and the conditions of the country.

It is the responsibility of individual Governments to look after the health of its citizens, so that each State shall be free to determine the measures it deems appropriate to prevent the spread of the virus.

The five phase indicates that the pandemic is imminent and is a decision that is taken when you check the spread of the virus from person to person in at least two countries in a OMS region.

Phase six of alert is declared when it is the spread of the virus from person to person in at least two countries in a OMS region, with the community outbreak in at least a third country of a different region.

It is in this last phase (six) when declaring a global pandemic.

Since the April 27 raised the alert level from three to four, OMS advises countries not affected to prepare for the possible outbreak of the disease and points to consider health surveillance at borders.

The agency suggests that governments recommended for people with respiratory ailments to go to a doctor to ascertain the virus isolated and suffering in their homes the first symptoms of influenza.

It also advises closing schools, canceling public events and mass as they have the Mexican authorities. It invites health safety measures in public transport and workplaces.

OMS is responsible for coordinating the development of the vaccine, which at present is developing in four laboratories in different countries, although the process may take four to six months.

They, in turn, should monitor the availability of antiviral drugs, the state and disposition of medical staff, and consider using alternative facilities to be used as clinics and medical laboratories.

Similarly OMS suggests psychological support to health workers, employees and communities, especially to avoid hysteria and panic attacks.

With respect to communication, governments of affected States must commit to consistently inform the WHO, the international community and citizens of the development, statistics, behavior of the virus and geographic areas affected.

Governments and health authorities, OMS suggests, must be constant and transparent communication with the media to report in a timely manner to citizens on the development of the epidemic at national and international levels.

New name

As he had done the Ministry of Health, the minister also recalled that the European Commission considers that it should not be called a disease because the swine flu virus has not been detected in animals, which could be causing unnecessary damage to the sector pigs. Jimenez reiterated that the disease is not transmitted through food from the pork. "

The Commission considers it more appropriate to call it "new flu" in English, novel novel influenza or flu virus, to avoid a "disastrous and unjustified" in the pork industry, especially in the current period of crisis.

As highlighted at the meeting of the Scientific Committee of the National Executive Committee for the Prevention, Control and Monitoring of the epidemiological evolution of influenza virus yesterday it must remain vigilant and Spain is prepared to deal in If necessary, at later stages of the disease.

Swine influenza reaches Internet

As the theme of the swine flu epidemic continues to gain importance worldwide, the spammers have not been left behind. The Symantec security experts have been monitoring the spam and continue to analyze various messages associated with the topic. 29.04.2009, 15:25

Mouse .- In the past, the campaigns of spam-related events sought to send malicious messages on the mail user should click on links or URLs that claimed to be harmful or lead to a supposed video. But this time, it appears that spammers are more interested in using the issue of influenza to collect email addresses - perhaps as part of a collection tool for future campaigns.

One of the samples simply tells readers of the disaster, using headers or headers recognized agencies. They were also asked users whether they are in Mexico or United States and whether or not to know someone affected by this disease. Subsequently, users can share their experience by completing a form (via a URL) or to "reply" to their history and including information such as your email address and telephone number.

* USA 91 confirmed positive, the death of a baby and Obama wants to close schools
* Ten cases of swine flu in Spain, six in Catalunya, an indirect contact
* Mexico closed its restaurants to curb the epidemic of influenza, but only recognizes 7 dead

The announcement was made the director general of OMS Margaret Chan, having presided over a conference call with experts from the emergency committee of the organization.

"All humanity is under threat of a pandemic," said Chan, who made an appeal to governments, pharmaceutical industries and the business community for their efforts and resources to address this crisis.

According to the manual phase of the OMS warning, grade 5 is declared when there is transmission of the virus from person to person in at least two countries.

The head of OMS recalled that influenza viruses are known to be unpredictable "and said that the pandemic virus may be present with the disease from mild to very severe." Chan also noted that a pandemic will be much more serious and devastating in developing countries with fewer resources.

This happens on a day that Health has announced that it had confirmed six new cases of patients suffering from swine flu, all in Catalunya, so the number of people have contracted the disease in Spain has risen to ten. In addition, the Councilor for Health of the Generalitat, Marina Geli, has confirmed that one of the new infections in Catalonia would not have traveled to Mexico, but would be a couple of those infected.

So far, the number of confirmed cases of swine flu in the EU amounts to 19 and Spain, with 10 confirmations, is the country with more cases. In addition 70 people were under observation in encunetran the Spanish State.

The fact that infection can occur in an indirect way, as the case of man infected by a partner in Catalunya, it means the virus can be transmitted from person to person, which is why the OMS has decided to raise the alert level .

How is the manufacturing of influenza vaccine?

Although for years the authorities recommend a flu shot at least to certain groups of people may be more affected by the disease the recent swine flu outbreak in Mexico has put the issue again today.

The flu vaccine is made from the three strains or variants of the virus to a panel of the World Health Organization considered to be more active each year.

Manual inoculation of huevosEstas strains often originate in Asia and must be reproduced in sufficient quantity for delivery to the laboratories that will manufacture the vaccine, something that only we know by now done using fertilized chicken eggs, which are inoculated with the virus either by hand or machine, and those for 48-72 hours to remove the amniotic fluid to isolate the virus that has been played there during that time.

Delivery of the "virus of reference for laboratories typically occurs in late March, and once there, you have to play again this virus in sufficient quantity to create as many doses of vaccine will be manufactured, extracted from Eggs which have been reproduced, and kill to make the vaccine that must then be packaged and distributed.

This whole process makes vaccination campaigns can never start until October.

The problem with the outbreak emerged in Mexico that has been caused by a variant of the virus has appeared in a place that was not expected and at a time that was not expected and no time to make a specific vaccine, a process it would take at least about three months, so we have to see how the quarantine and prophylactic protocols being implemented, and trust in the effectiveness of antivirals for treatment.

As is done in the influenza vaccine is a more detailed explanation of this process, a process that also have to start from scratch each year by the great capacity to mutate with the virus, which makes the vaccine a years is usually not effective to the next in Vaccine Manufacture: Egg-Based Vaccine Production is further details, but in English.

An herb that combats flu china (¿swine?)

Solutions in conventional medicine for the swine flu is overdue. Fortunately we have two drugs against the virus does not offer resistance, but unfortunately this variant of the vaccine virus does not develop until within six months.

Something, however, we can do to keep the hopes of healing before the pandemic that ravages the world. Alternative medicine is working on this, and in China we have news of a medicinal plant that could mean a possible cure to the swine flu if it is to understand better.

This is the Elsholtzia rugulosa, a plant commonly used in China to prevent and to cure the flu if it is already installed. Researchers from the China Academy of Medical Sciences have studied this plant, confirming its potential to fight the flu, and opening the door to speculation.

This plant contains five flavonoids (apigenina, luteolin, apiina, galuteolina and luteolin 3 '), which play a key role in preventing viral diseases, so with great effectiveness. The researchers hope that research on this plant to find in the near future a possible cure to the swine flu.

However, conclusions or speaking. The investigation of Elsholtzia rugulosa has reached this point. It would be interesting to explore it further and verify the effectiveness of the plant in what is promised as a wider pandemic of avian influenza.

Americans expect to have ready a crucial ingredient for the swine flu vaccine

Americans expect to have ready a crucial ingredient for the swine flu vaccine in early May, but told The Associated Press that the virus grows slowly in the eggs, the primary means of producing vaccines.

While all goes well, it will be months before we have a vaccine to try it with volunteers.

Dr. Jesse Goodman, head of swine influenza Food and Drug Administration, said the work científivcos to 100 miles per hour "to create the raw materials needed by manufacturers of vaccines.

Genetic engineering to create a strain capable of putting up the immune system without causing disease. At the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the head of vaccines Ruben Donis said that the work is finished in third party.

The EU is expected in Europe also has the swine flu deaths

The Center for Prevention and Disease Control in the EU (ECDC) provides that the swine flu also cause deaths in Europe, said today one of the experts of the agency, Angus Nicoll.
"We can expect death, but we do not know how," Nicoll said in a press conference broadcast from the headquarters in Stockholm.
Nicoll said that the EU expects "a similar development to which the virus is having on America", which means an increase in the number of cases, infections that occur secondary level (different from Mexican territory), and the death one of the hospitalized patients.
So far, the number of confirmed cases of swine flu in the EU amounts to 19, 10 of which have been recorded in Spain, including a person who had not traveled to Mexico, 5 in the United Kingdom, 3 in Germany and 1 in Austria.
Those responsible for the ECDC in Europe stressed that the close contact between patients and confirmed or suspected family is very controlled, very important to control the contagion of the second level.
Also, Nicoll noted that reducing the number of deaths in Mexico is a "positive signal" but that "before talking about the seriousness of the situation we have to see how the virus continues to evolve at the international level."
The expert explained that the dangerousness of this strain of flu is "solely because it is a new virus against which our immune system is not ready."
He added that the common flu has a mortality rate not trivial, "and that this proportion increases to one percent among patients older than 65 years.
On the possibility that the virus affects some population group, Nicoll said that most patients are young "because it is the biggest holiday travel to Mexico at this time."
To avoid possible contamination, the expert said it was valid "methods similar to those used for seasonal influenza, such as washing hands frequently, use of masks or avoid contact with the sick.

Across the world, Australia adopted new powers to detain suspects and disinfect swine flu to take if the crisis grows.

The famous resort of Cancun in the Mexican Caribbean, was not receiving cruises suffered cancellations were suspended for vacationers and conference specialists.

The new strain of influenza, a mixture of several viruses of swine, poultry and humans, represents the greatest risk of a pandemic from the avian influenza that emerged in 1997.

In Mexico City, where urban living nearly 20 million people, shopping centers, which remain with their doors open, they were practically empty and Congress met behind closed doors.

Although this patient was a late child of the virulent flu which has affected one way or another 60% of the 2,500 inhabitants of La Gloria, and some wonder if Edgar and his community, respectively, the patient zero, and people scratch, of swine flu.

The truth is that the situation is a bit confusing. Despite the small Édgar was officially considered to be the first affected by the virus H1N1, which has survived the reality is that, before him, many others were affected by a rare and virulent flu. Whether it was that killed two children in La Gloria. Therefore, one does not understand is that this community has only been recorded that case, the Édgar of swine influenza infection. The other, presumably, would have become sick, even killed, by common flu ...

But when the inhabitants, who had already protested and called for urgent action to reverse the weeks before the outbreak that were suffering terrible (and they thought they had the origin of the giant pig farm under the name of that Granjas Carroll's company Smithfields Foods), television news had symptoms typical of the swine flu epidemic made public at the April 24, had no doubts: it was like I was sick with them, the symptoms were identical.

But the authorities deny it: the Mexican Health Secretary Jose Cordova, noted that of the 30 samples from affected respiratory diseases in La Gloria, only to Edgar Hernandez was H1N1 positive, for what he considered "risky" place the origin of the epidemic there. According to Cordova, the community suffered from a common flu. For its part, the governor of Veracruz, Fidel Herrera Beltran, Granjas Carroll denied that was the focus of the epidemic. Apparently none of its 907 employees, or its more than 500,000 pigs are infected.

Representatives of the municipality of Perote, which belongs to La Gloria, told the press that half the residents of this community work in Mexico City on weekdays, so it would not be unreasonable to think that these people had spread the swine flu in the federal capital, where there are most cases.

On the other hand, increase every day the information and scientific reports pointing to the relationship between the swine flu and the conditions of animals on factory farms.

"The child was bad and his family took him to Southeast Texas, Houston, to be cured," the spokesman has informed the department of Health in Houston, Kathy Barton, a CNN.

The U.S. president, Barack Obama, said after hearing the news that the epidemic of swine flu was "worrying" and called "the most extreme precautions." Furthermore, the President has called on schools where there are suspected cases to consider "seriously" the possibility of temporarily closing the classroom.

In Mexico, as reported to the authorities, cases of infection appear to be decreasing and the number of deaths amounted to 159 suspects. The Government has lowered confirmed fatal cases from 20 to just seven, by matching the data with the record of the World Health Organization (WHO). "Of the deaths that we have studied so far only seven can confirm that this is the pig virus," said general director of the Center for Epidemiological Surveillance and Disease Control of Mexico, Miguel Angel Lezana.

In total, around the world are eight countries that officially confirmed cases of swine flu: in addition to Mexico, Costa Rica, United States, Canada, Spain, United Kingdom, Germany, Israel and New Zealand.
Egypt orders the slaughter of all pigs in the country

The government of Egypt has ordered the slaughter of the entire pig population of the country (about 300,000 head, according to official estimates) as a precaution before the crisis unleashed by the epidemic of swine flu.

The country's Health Minister, Hatem el-Gabali, said in a statement distributed by the official state news agency, MENA, the measure was implemented today.

The decision is the first of this type that takes in the entire world.

Swine flu: biological warfare and the business of Donald Rumsfeld.

A developer's research work Informative Pacifica, developed by the newspaper group based in California Pueblos Sin Fronteras, raises several questions that hegemonic media of communication have failed in its quest to create terror among the population.

What is the origin of the new virus has already killed over one hundred people in Mexico? Who benefits this epidemic? What other news is buried? What is being used in emergency Mexico?

The report mentions an article Fernando Velázquez of researcher Lori Price Globalresearch.ca on the website, entitled: "The flu away with the torture memos" (The Flu Kills Torture Memos), where it notes that influenza swine, probably manufactured in the United States military laboratory, has ended with the release of memos on torture ordered by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) against prisoners at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and secret prisons.

The article mentioned that an Indonesian biodefense researcher said last year that United States and could manufacture biological weapons laboratory in Los Alamos, using bird flu samples sent by Indonesia to the World Health Organization. Details on the subject appear in the book "Time to change the world: Divine Hands Behind Avian Influenza," written by the Indonesian Minister of Health.

Lori Price said that the current hysteria caused by the pig virus could make great profits at Donald Rumsfeld. Former Secretary of Defense manager for Bush is 20 years of laboratory Gilead Sciences, Inc. California-based firm that manufactures and has the rights of "Tamiflu, the influenza remedy alleged that terrorizes the world.

Fernando Velázquez also interviewed for the report to Ralph Schoenman journalist, producer of the radio program "Taking Aim" (pointing) to be transmitted at the station WBAI in New York. Schoenman militarized states that laboratories throughout the United States have been improving with biological viruses pork, poultry, Asian and other diseases for which there is no immune response.

"In laboratory level 4 and 5 in the country most virulent diseases have been altered so that there is no defense against them, and have been dropped in several parts of the world. Have been dispersed in Africa, and have been monitored by U.S. military, "says Schoenman.

Velázquez also mentions the book in its report "Clouds of Secrecy" (Clouds of secrets), professor of public health policies Leonard Cole, who documented that 40 years the Pentagon has been spreading billions of hesitation I in Metro New York in the public schools of Minneapolis and St. Louis, and in particular in the bay of San Francisco. In that city, the effects were increased by 10% of meningitis of the spine. The number of people impacted by the hesitation I amounts to 10 million.

Velazquez recalled the book "Killing Hope", where Bloom describes William in 1971, the central intelligence provided to Cuban exiles a virus which causes African swine fever. Six weeks later, an outbreak forced the Cuban government to slaughter half a million pigs. Ten years later the town was attacked by an epidemic of dengue fever transmitted by mosquitoes, which spread across the island sick more than 300 thousand people and killing 158 (including over a hundred were children under 15 years).

Fernando Velázquez also reported that documents declassified in 1956 and 1958 reveal that the U.S. military raised large amounts of mosquitoes in Florida and Georgia to see if the insects could be used as weapons to spread disease and that in 1969 more than 500 students from 36 countries have graduated in courses on the war in epidemiological Army Chemical School at Fort McClellan in Alabama.

Microsoft has made a very smart, taking advantage of the influenza outbreak in Mexico

Microsoft has made a very smart, taking advantage of the influenza outbreak in Mexico to offer those who have been confined to their homes and needing to continue working with his team, the Office Live Meeting service for 30 days for meetings virtual.

This is the press release:
Aware of the health emergency that our country and looking for work in economic activity in Mexico will continue as usual, Microsoft makes available to companies and employees to download a free tool that facilitates communication and collaboration, work remotely, can make real-time video conferencing, online meetings, publish a presentation, set up a project, edit files and negotiations, despite being separated by great distances, through a computer connected to the internet.

To use the product should be downloaded from the league for this special promotion and a series of steps a little cumbersome. But if you have patience to finish this process can work with your people, at least for the next 30 days, enough so that, hopefully, this terrible epidemic, let us return to work.

Swine flu, or how to terrorize the people

The recent outbreak of swine flu in Mexico, which has caused many deaths, and that is affecting other countries, has unleashed a wave of fear in the population. Everything is due to the way the media usually report, this form is not very different from using a film director in a thriller or horror.

Fear image drops down to the stock exchange, makes people exhausted the stock of chinstrap, which automedique but the fear of the swine flu comes to nothing more than misinformation. It is important to learn well and not pay attention to rumors.

The World Health Organization has declared a state of alert, but it's just more to tackle an epidemic. The technical term is a pandemic, a term that provokes terror who reads or hears. But he says the word, it has been declared a disease that affects many people.

The fear comes from the story, which relates the word pandemic outbreaks that have taken thousands of lives. But that does not mean that each pandemic is equal, since today is very different from the pandemics that killed so many people in the past. Before there were no antibiotics, the people were overcrowded rather than separate, no one knew what it was a virus, people were not informed, everything was very easy spread of the fatal cases of influenza.

The problem is that fear leads to irrational behavior, such as self medication for no reason. Therefore it is best to be informed in order to eradicate the fear of the unknown, and given a course, see a doctor. But never act on their own. Fear can make people take antibiotics on their own, without taking anti-reason.

Pandemic, it is not to be alarmed, terrified, as is the media, but knowledgeable, attentive and calm.

This question is to ask the doctor if in doubt, it is because you go to the doctor now. The swine flu starts suddenly with symptoms such as high fever, headache, fatigue, cough, body aches and boogers. If you have these symptoms, consult a doctor.

¿Healthy people and young people should worry about?

Protocolo de actuacion contra la gripe porcina

The swine flu goes across borders.

So far, all the fatalities, at least 160 people have already died because of this epidemic were recorded in Mexico. But a baby 23 months old, resident of Texas (USA) became the first fatalities in the country and outside Mexico. In United States, as in Spain and throughout most of the world, have detected several cases of persons who had contracted the H1N1 virus, but until now there had been no deaths that could be assigned to this infection.
The World Health Organization would raise the alert to Level 5.

At the time of this writing, in United States there are 65 other people we have confirmed the swine flu. Fortunately, most of them are in good health and only five are hospitalized. Barak Obama president is considering the suspension of school activities if it adds to the spread of new strain of swine flu, the situation is "serious" and must take the "maximum precautions."

The World Health Organization noted that all countries should "remain vigilant" and prepared for the evolution of a possible pandemic of H1N1 virus. Moreover, the international health agency said that the possibility of raising the alert level, now located in four-stage as they confirm new patients. He also noted that it should increase the measures implemented to control the spread of the virus. Some countries already have suspended flights to and from Mexico, while others seriously considering doing so.

Update: As reported by health authorities in Texas, the deceased child was a Mexican and not American as was assumed at first. The victim was in Matamoros, a city that shares the border with Texas. The child was brought to Texas by her parents for medical care, and then moved to Houston, where he died last Monday in spite of care.
