Mexican VIRUS independent Bio News
Mexico.- In an interview to the spanish newspaper EL PAIS, Miguel Angel Lezana, chief epidemiologist of the National Centre for Epidemiologic Surveillance and Disease Control (Centro Nacional de Vigilancia Epidemiológica) says the surgeon mask everybody were carrying in Mexico was just for calm people, because doesn´t function as a barrier against the influenza virus.
Lezana recognize communication troubles between his institution and mexican politicians in Calderon´s government (april 30).
This confirms what mexicanvirus has report from the very beginning. The first outbreak was in La Gloria, Perote-Veracruz, where 30% of these inhabitants get ill. This last from march 9 to april 10. The second outbreak occurs in the same little township april 12. Was a woman survey worker, who dies the day after.
At the same time, the nightmare begins when alerts came frome the medical specialty hospital located in south Mexico City, the National Institute for Respiratory Diseases (Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias), where a serial serious pneumonia were killing young and strong people.
For Lezana maybe children and aged people could be less a affected at the beginning because they have received the seasonal vaccine, but by now this is only an hypothesis.
By her way, a La Gloria woman resident has contact Mexican virus and tell us how part of his family were affected. We´ll present this testimony in a next news dispatch.
The rightist trend Calderon´s government has drove the situation to a non sense level of ineptitude. The national university virologists were ignored and public wasn´t inform with clarity. Gov officials are still trying to use the pandemia alert for achieve political and economical objectives.
