77 dead in China Liaoning?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1529695/postsChina: 77 Avian Flu Patients Dead in Liaoning Province...Victim's Name Published on Internet
2005/11/21
In Liaoning Province of China, 6 people were infected with H5N1 Avian Flu and had died
recently, according to Nov. 20 report by an overseas Chinese language news site, Boxun, quoting
the article posted by a poster.
Six victims were 4 students in Beining City, 1 epidemic-prevention worker, and ano
ther person whose identity is unknown. According to
the post,
the number of dead people from H5N1 Avian Flu in Liaoning Province has reached 77, including
the six new victims. Fur
thermore, at one of domestic Chinese Internet site,
the name of 14 migrant farm workers killed by Avian Flu were published on Nov. 19.
According to
the post at Boxun.com, government gives monetary compensation to victim's family in return
for not divulging
the nature of victim's death. However, if it gets ever revealed, not a single cent of compensation would be given, and would be arrested
for endangering social order and security.
Of
the 6 dead,
the family of epidemic-prevention worker were given 240,000 yuan($30,000), and o
ther victim's family were given 120,000 yuan($15,000). Those families who got less complained to Beijing government, and this led to
the news leak to o
thers.
The number of people who were suspected of Avian Flu and underwent a medical test or were quarantined
for a short period of time has exceeded 150,000. Fur
thermore, rumors are spreading in
the local area, which say that Avian Flu can now spread from person to person. This plunged
the local residents into panic.
The number of infected people in Liaoning Province is estimated to exceed those of Qing-hai Province during
the previous Avian Flu outbreak(a few months ago.)
The name of 14 dead victims were published in a post at an Chinese domestic Internet site called 'Tienya
Forum.' It said that most of
the dead were farm workers from Sichuan, Hunan, Anhui Province, who were working at
the area of Liaoning Province where Avian Flu is raging.
The poster who published
the list said that he did so in order to in
form
the victim's family of what happened. Its detail are as follows:
According to migrant farm workers in Liaoning Province, most of
them has died from H5N1 Avian Flu or been placed in quarantine. If a person dies from Avian Flu and he does not have his family in
the local area, he was immediately cremated, leading
the victim's family to believe that he is just missing. Due to tight in
formation control, I could only obtain
the names of 14 dead victims.
The list is as follows. All died from H5N1 Avian Flu and
their bodies were cremated.

A new outbreak of
bird flu in China has res
ulted in 116 people being quarantined in
the Liaoning province after news came of
the third outbreak in two weeks in
the region.

* Authorities in China said Thursday
they have quarantined 116 people in nor
theastern Liaoning province after two new outbreaks of
bird flu
there.
* Kuwait reported
the first two cases of
bird flu in
the Gulf region but said it would not do
the tests to determine whe
ther
they were caused by
the deadly and virulent H5N1 strain.
*
The country has imposed quarantines in o
ther
bird-flu afflicted areas but in at least one case residents were restricted only from leaving
their village.
* Authorities also disinfected homes, water wells, and streets within 2 miles of
the latest outbreak sites on family chicken farms in Liaoning,
the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
*
The latest outbreaks of
the H5N1 virus in
the cities of Jinzhou and Fuxin in Liaoning began Sunday and killed 1,100 chickens on
the family farms,
the Agric
ulture Ministry said.
* China has not yet confirmed any cases of human deaths from
the H5N1 strain, which has killed at least 63 people elsewhere in Asia.
* But it has asked
the World Health Organization to help it determine whe
ther
bird flu killed a 12-year-old girl who died in a town where
there had been an outbreak.
*
The latest outbreaks in China added to concerns that fake
bird flu vaccines
for po
ultry were threatening public health after officials reported an unapproved product was sold in Liaoning province, site of
the three most
recent outbreaks.
* Sheik Fahd Salem Al-Ali Al Sabah,
the head of
the Public Authority, told reporters
the first case was found in an imported peacock at
the airport quarantine center.
*
The s
econd case, probably a migrating wild fowl, was found on
the beach, he said.
*
The entire Middle East region has been worried
about possible outbreaks because
the region sits on important migratory routes
for birds.

http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=55827Politics: 28 November 2005, Monday.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that
the avian flu virus is mutating and is already transferring to mammals.
So far
there have only been a few cases of human-to-human transfers of
the virus, but
they had happened in
bird farms.
China has announced that
for 20 days specialists have been testing an anti-
bird flu shot. However it would be at least two years be
fore an effective
bird flu prevention vaccine appears on
the market.

Екатерина ГАМОВА, 28 ноября, 19:23
Согласно данным Минздрава КНР, в Китае абсолютно точно установлены факты мутации вируса птичьего гриппа. Представитель министерства Мао Цюньань сегодня официально заявил, что в Китае от больных людей выделены штаммы вируса H5N1, которые по своим свойствам отличаются от таковых, выявленных у заразившихся этой болезнью на территории Вьетнама. Однако, он также сообщил, что данный факт пока не является поводом
для серьезных опасений, так
как эта мутация не изменила геном вируса до такой степени, чтобы позволить инфекции передаваться от человека к человеку.
Напомним, что согласно одна из теоретических научных гипотез выражает худшие опасения ученых. Согласно этому предположению, в ходе многократных пассажей среди птиц и людей вирус H5N1 может особым образом мутировать и
приобрести свойство рас
пространяться среди человеческой популяции, на
пример, воздушно-капельным путем. Следовательно, в таком случае по способу передачи он ста
нет похожим на вирус обычного гриппа, который,
как известно, имеет довольно широкую
область циркуляции. Это может иметь очень неблаго
приятные последствия
для человека, ведь заболевание, вызываемое вирусом птичьего гриппа, вполне может
протекать в тяжелых формах. Кроме того, пока наука не располагает достаточными сведениями о возможном спектре осложнений и перехода заболевания в хроническую форму.
Контролировать и, тем более, предупреждать
процесс возникновения мутационной изменчивости в популяциях вируса, осваивающего все новые и новые территории, практически невозможно даже
при помощи самых современных достижений в
области вирусологии, молекулярной биологии и генной инженерии. Получается,
медицина почти бессильна перед
природным напором птичьего гриппа. Сейчас врачам остается только дальше совершенствовать
процедуру диагностики заболевания, расширять спектр
противовирусных препаратов и готовиться к
новой атаке H5N1, пока вирус еще относительно "миролюбив", и
нет риска заразиться птичьим гриппом
через полотенце или поцелуй.

Минздрав КНР сообщил 28 ноября об установленных в Китае фактах мутации вируса птичьего гриппа у человека. Представитель министерства Мао Цюньань заявил, что "выявленный у заболевших в Китае людей штамм вируса H5N1 отличен от того, который был обнаружен у заразившихся этой болезнью во Вьетнаме". Вместе с тем, он подчеркнул, что "мутация недостаточна
для того, чтобы позволить инфекции передаваться от человека к человеку", передает ИТАР-ТАСС.
Согласно одной из научных теорий, вирус птичьего гриппа может мутировать настолько, что сможет передаваться между людьми,
как обычный грипп.
