BIO NEWS FLASH

A MAN DIED IN USA BY HUMAN INFLUENZA A H1N1, ARISING TO THREE THE FATAL TOLL.

LATEST REPORT A DEATH IN COSTA RICA. FIRST DEATH IN CENTRAL AMERICA BY THE SAME NEW FLU VIRUS.

BIO NEWS FROM MEXICO. CALDERON, PART OF CALAMITIES

Eye´s Hurricane is quite while Jalisco and Hidalgo has the worst of pandemia now

México City.- In the sixteenth day from the health emergency declaration here caused by a porcine influenza outbreak, the center of the country is quite while the states of Jalisco in the Pacific coast(with a jump from 15 to 26 cases ant three deaths, at the west) and Hidalgo (47 new cases near Mexico City), Chiapas at south (with no schools and 222 cases) are having now their respective boom of the infection, and also Baja California with one death person (northern border with the United States), when all world sustain their fears for an unknowing mutation that could be more fatal than the AH1N1.

Yes, the very centre of the dangerous outbreak declared in this city on Thursday april 24 is going slowly into normality, but Hidalgo and Chiapas (southern state border with Guatemala) –two of the poorest rural states that form the Mexican republic has the worst now. The still health emergency also include Chihuahua (northern border too), Guerrero (pacific coast) and San Luis Potosí. The two last ones also are so poor, but San Luis Potosí have been attacked by the influenza also at the very beginning. Anybody can conclude the health care in this part of the country has the lowest national standards. Maybe like African states could be when influenza attack them.

Now mexican government are promoting one of it´s beautiful epidemiologic model, with probable curves that never happened. But opinions are well divided. Some government analysts says Calderon and his health minister upgrade their image. But the mainstream and better informed opinion looks this regime as part of the calamity.

By it side, world maintain its fear for the atypical brand new influenza and its mutations. World Health Organization reports 3,500 in 29 countries, with 48 deaths in Mexico, two in USA, one in Canada and another one deadly case in Costa Rica. At this moment, USA has more cases than Mexico with 2,254 confirmed cases against 1,626. USA didn´t close all schools at national level as Mexico did. School closure seems to be essential to block instantly a pandemia like this whenever occurs.

Mexico close schools and get paralyze itself for almost twelve historical days: from 24 april to may 6, when students go back to activities nationwide. At the meantime we know that A-H1N1 virus looks less fatal than the first reports. The good reaction to some antiviral medicine was the first good new at all that can stop influenza deadly cases so fast in Mexico City, with 20 millions inhabitants.

Chief Epidemiologist refute mexican government

 

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.

INDEPENDENT BIONEWS FROM MEXICO



WILL BE TOGETHER THRU THE YEAR.

México.- This historical bio-alert has gone, but not for carefullness, we will be informing you all summer season, fall and winter too.
So will be together. Share mexicanvirus link with your friends.

In the latest news: United States health speakers recognize two deaths of swine flu. Both in Texas state.

Mexican scientists with high level of research and good equipment complaints to had been put aside during the emergency. Health minister, José Angel Cordova, ignored mexican specialists and depends badly in Canadian and US aid. 
 
     Cordova Villalobos is a gastroenterologist and a conservative politican and he was not prepare for an emergency like the swine flu outbreak that attacked mexico, said the mexican virologist community.

Mexican Bio News on New Influenza Pandemia

NORMALITY IS COMING, LOT OF QUESTIONS WITH NO ANSWERS REMAINS

México, (Mexican virus news).- 13 day and almost everything has happened. In Mexico, cases are still arising because they are coming from suspicious to confirmed, even if they are alive or dead. Then in United States health authorities change their recommendation on school closure because the virus appear to be lesser fatal as everybody thought. The latest scientific information calls for more caution when the expected virus reboot in winter time.

 Kathleen Sebelius, health Obama´s minister announce adopted the open school policy and sustain the home care for affected children when USA is counting now 400 cases of a less virulent A influenza  behavior.

In Mexico, the disease spread is irregular: there are only remain three influenza free states, when Yucatán report a confirmed case. A 8 years old boy. He and his family are receiving attention and medical surveillance. Not as the new cases in Mexico City (Distrito Federal), where AH1N1 influenza is masking as a season flu when it is less stronger. 

Now is the turn of Hidalgo state, one of the poorest, with 99 reported and 20 new cases. Tabasco reports 6, four of them are already intact.

Economical consequences of pandemia seem to be the worst of all, says government, directing its effort to reanimate activities. Of course, tourism and food exportation will be the most affected.

Nonetheless, Mexican health authorities are still play the game of black and white ciphers. They say there were 942 confirmed cases, 77 deaths with no possible confirmation, 140 confirmed death (all of them before April 30th ). When crisis is becoming to be history, Mexican Calderon´s government reveals ineptitude, concealed and corruption.

The Mexican health system  is still a major problem, because is so abandoned, and when the influenza arrives take everybody with no defenses. People commonly die silently as the lack of medicines has become so normal. Especially the real respiratory morbidity and mortality cipher in Mexico City has been tagged as top secret since a long time.

Mexican president Calderon´s team only acts and reacts on international pressure, because in their conservative minds all social troubles, has it´s image media solution. We know the worst of Calderon´s catholic propaganda is forthcoming. In 2009 Mexico is going to celebrate intermediate elections for choosing congress and municipalities’ national wide.

The world pandemia causes by a dangerous virus is passing by and there´s no clear about reports on what happened with the Fort Detrick, Maryland losses of bio-weaponry. World public opinion will also has the same obscurity information mantle as best response.

The origin of virus seem to be artificial design, with different genetic parts of avian, pigs and human strains. A lot of questions are still in the air:

Why virus become lesser killer suddenly?  

Did military liberated to environment a lesser killer copy of the weapon as a manner of vaccine to compete this one with the very dangerous AH1N1 (first in USA)? 

Did Mexico (and the world also) has received a “friendly” attack this april 2009 ?

INDEPENDENT BIO NEWS FROM MEXICO CITY

AGAINST HEALTH´S MINISTER STATEMENTS, INFLUENZA IS STILL IN PROGRESS

Skeptical opinions on influenza are growing here describing it as a smoke screen

Mexico, 5 may (Mexican virus news).- Against health´s minister (José Angel Córdova) statements calling for a slow down in pandemia, influenza AH1N1 is still in progress here, even it´s supposed to be the fourth day with no fatal cases, but everybody wants this paralysis to an end. Today´s Mexico government is planning to reanimate activites at national wide on wednesday. WHO speakers made a call on prudence before sing a  victory in driving the historic and critic bio alert that has transform one of the biggest city worldwide.

Economy is rounding in mexican minds when we think on retaking the march of normal life again, but the porcine influenza has not cede at all. Everybody is suffering the harsh immobility, and people is at the brink of losing patience. The Mexican government information on confirmed cases grows from 506 to 568.

So that is why WHO is calling for patience. And also because the incubation period for AH1N1 could be larger than seven or ten days.

All conspiracy theories are rounding here. Also today, mexicanvirus news receive an announce of malfunction in it´s YAHOO mail service. We call our readers to intend to check out this peccata minuta to discard any suspicious of censorship against our this independent bio news service.

We have notice that in april 17, American military do exercises in Costa Rica including precisely a INFLUENZ A PANDEMIA scenario. We also need to discard a bio-aggression to Mexico from the cover agencies of United States against us.

For your best information, president Obama visited Mexico from 16 to 17 april, and he has in touch with Fernando Solís Olguín, the Antropological Museum´s director in his visit to this important shrine of modern culture. Solís has death in recent days of what it´s supposed to be a hearth attack, but first reports says it could be one of the most important and very first victims of this influenza.

So, the military exercise in Costa Rica feed a lot of sceptikal opinions about the real procedence of influenza. It looks like a perfect storm well defined and measured in the American military handbooks.

The American political analyst, James Petras, gave a polemic interview in Spanish language too, were he describes this bio alert as a smoke screen produced to give support to the weak conservative Calderon´s administration and when the carmaker Chrysler is announcing its bankruptcy in USA, and also when there are a lot of main items in the Latin-American political agenda.

INDEPENDENT INFLUENZA NEWS FROM MEXICO

REPORT NEAR TO PHASE 6 W.H.O. INFLUENZA ALERT 

NEVER WORLD HAS BEEN SO CLOSE TO THIS maximum ALERT

México City (mexicanvirus news).- When Spain´s AH1N1 cases climb to more than 60, World Health Organization is prompt to declare Phase 6 of the influenza emergency so its means a global pandemia. This phase, the last one, includes special measures through the planet. School closures, almost total economic paralization and else. In the sixth day from the very beginning of health emergency.

When Mexico City possibly is going to reanimate activities as the porcine influenza cases reports are downsizing, news from Canada calls for a documented case of an infection between human and pigs in a farm. But this is not new. Scientific literature on porcine influenza has documented cases in that way, but no in this H1N1. The disease use to be a normal chronic problem in porks breeding industry until the pandemia outbreaks.

Mexico is the model of how influenza can be stopped. This proves some new facts:

First: We need more national budget for overall health issues ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Second: Never eat pork again.

Third: Disaster Capitalism take advantages from everything. Specially when mankind are endangered.

How “The NAFTA Flu” Exploded

Smithfield Farms Fled US Environmental Laws to Open a Gigantic Pig Farm in Mexico, and All We Got Was this Lousy Swine Flu

By Al Giordano

April 29, 2009

US and Mexico authorities claim that neither knew about the “swine flu” outbreak until April 24. But after hundreds of residents of a town in Veracruz, Mexico, came down with its symptoms, the story had already hit the Mexican national press by April 5. The daily La Jornada reported:

Clouds of flies emanate from the rusty lagoons where the Carroll Ranches business tosses the fecal wastes of its pig farms, and the open-air contamination is already generating an epidemic of respiratory infections in the town of La Gloria, in the Perote Valley, according to Town Administrator Bertha Crisóstomo López.

The town has 3,000 inhabitants, hundreds of whom reported severe flu symptoms in March.

CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta, reporting from Mexico, has identified a La Gloria child who contracted the first case of identified “swine flu” in February as “patient zero,” five-year-old Edgar Hernández, now a survivor of the disease.

By April 15 – nine days before Mexican federal authorities of the regime of President Felipe Calderon acknowledged any problem at all – the local daily newspaper, Marcha, reported that a company called Carroll Ranches was “the cause of the epidemic.”

May 1, 2009 Swine Flu Update: The Epi-Porcine-Center?

Epidemiological eyes turn toward Granjas Carroll in Veracruz


As I posted this update, an article appeared in the Wall Street Journal possibly linking A/H1N1 to California.

In Veracruz´s Perote Valley, only a few kilometers from the state capital Xalapa, an industrial pig farm turns nearly a million hogs a year intotocino and carnitas and provides work for the residents of a town called La Gloria.

Until two weeks ago, this tucked-away valley was far beyond the gaze of the international press. Now, news crews from around the world are headed there to get a look at¨patient zero¨ and the pig farm where some think this A/H1N1 swine flu may have originated.

¨Patientzero¨ is ÉdgarHernández, a five-year old boy who lives in Perote. He suffered and then survived, the swine flu virus. The Governor of the state of Veracruz, FidelHerrera, and other state and local authorities claim that Edgar is the only A/H1N1victim in his town. However, it turns out that during March and early April, hundreds of people in the area were sick, though local officials say they suffered from something other than swine flu.

This pig farm in Perote is a joint venture between Smithfield Farms, the world´slargest producer of pork, based in Virginia, and Agroindustrias de Mexico, a Mexican multinational that produces and distributes coffee, cacao, cotton, cornand pigs. Agroindustrias de Mexico even has an agro-finance business that lends money to its providers. The name of the joint venture pig farm is Granjas Carroll (Carroll Farms).

As journalists have begun to focus on La Gloria in the hunt for this swine flu´sorigin, Governor Herrera and other Mexican officials are pointing fingers at Asia and the US as the source. Mexico´s Health Secretary, Jose Angel Cordovaalso has rejected the spotlight cast on the Perote Valley.

INDEPENDENT BIO NEWS FROM MEXICO CITY

Global bio-alert: easy comes, easy goes

 México, 2 may.- The count of a week into this bio-anti-utopia has brought with itself not only bad news, but good ones too in the two consecutive day with no influenza deaths in Mexico City hospitals. This means we are going directly to daily normal life where anything has happens... The public conscience about cheap meat production with procedures that are risky to health in a global scale in Veracruz and elsewhere will remain with no changes. It´s powerful was demonstrated and the porcine influenza lost his original name by international health organizations duty.

 Now the panic and fears are transforming in discrimination against any mexican voyager at international airports checking desks. The old porcine influenza virus has left its born-house -United States and Mexico (where the first acute cases were reported)- and takes its suitcases to go walking around the world. Now the center of the disease is going calm, but ripples of pandemia are just arriving to peripheral countries in a circular wave that begins in Mexico and ends with the first cases in Asia, Korea and Hong Kong reports.

 The porcine influenza is doing medical history and the alert could be passed with less fearing than the anti-mexican club in United States could desire. President Obama never approved south border closure. The influenza chapter could is closing and could be the opening of a new cooperation era between health ministries.

 The could be scenario for porcine influenza future is the get back´s disease passing autumn. So up to that date, the world can develope a more effective than one vaccine for AH1N1.

 All time mexican government concealment and distortion of information protected big corporation. Now this conservative gov are preparing a big catholic celebration when virus almost has gone. Biochemistry culture in media on this days will say goodbye and pave the road to religion and obscurantism policies and everything comes into normality. Ineptitude and corruption will be the new heros and Mexico are preparing for one of the most important election time ever happens here in july 5.

 The Canadian author, Naomi Klein´s book  -The Shock Doctrine- describes how capitalism are shocking third world economies to prevail forever. She cites the case of the Chilean etait du siege financing by CIA in 9/11.

 Yes, 9/11 in 1973. Then a fierce anticommunist and killing taste dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet introduce the Milton Friedman´s monetarism manual in the southamerican country.

 Years later, Friedman´s monetarism evolves in today´s neoliberalism. Well, following the Shock Doctrine the bio-attack theory against Mexican population and reputation is not a novella, specially when all Latin-American countries are turning into a left wing governments and only Mexico has a stupid Bush´s-neocon-style one, Calderon´s regime.

INDEPENDENT NEWS ON PANDEMIA CRISIS FROM MX CITY

Why Mexican influenza virus strain seems to be more fatal?

México City, april 30.- While scientists all over the globe question themselves why Mexican influenza strains are more deadly than the exported ones, scandals and protest coloured the sixth day of the influenza crisis here, when federal health minister statements create a scandal, porcine influenza has loss its global identity, and also when many ill people is lacking of minimal medical attention. Health staff are dying too so.

Mexican press patience has broke down on wednesday when Health Minister, Dr. José Angel Córdova Villalobos try to reduced the deaths public figure, from 20 to 7. The reports calls for far more than 150. The concealment became evident when the Labour Minister, Javier Lozano Trejo, begin to mark the hard swing of the conservative Calderon´s regime policy to hide information about the real influenza virus spread.

Then, suddenly the real deaths figure of pandemic porcine influenza in each state of the country became top secrecy. The Calderon´s staff negligence and ineptitude are translating into a bigger toll than could be expected. There are reports on fatal victims between medical personnel caused by the lack of the most basic biosecurity equipment in the national respiratory diseases hospital in the Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias (National institute of Respiratory Diseases).

People in the city complaints of have not receive adequate medical attention or not at all. You can read dramatically testimonies of flesh and bones people in throw daily press. They are complaints of high monetary debts for treatment`s costs in public institutions. Althought the government has said it has a million of antiviral treatments, patients has to buy the expensive Tamiflu or Oseltamivir by their own.

At international level, the course of events are doesn`t driving better: big meat corporations has succeed in their quick plans for changing the pandemia name, from porcine influenza to human influenza at the highest level. So the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the new denomination for the virus. Now its human influenza virus AH1N1 what is killing people in Mexico.

Beside this, other factors are seem to be involved in the H1N1`s fatal toll in the aztec country, like malnutrition and delays in treat all ill person. Maybe government are hiding this millions of Tamiflu doses for the military and for the government officials preventing a worst level on the pandemia crisis.

Althought, Mexico was ranked by OECD as the 13 world`s economy, the country has struggle with poverty, low well-being indicators, an could has the government corruption world´s guiness record if it exists.

United States with 109 cases until this day has some schools still open. One of the main crisis measure took in Mexico was to close all schools at national level. So –incredibly-, the health policy in USA to stop the virus spread it seems to be softness than mexican.

Where the virus has born

Is very probably that one of the first strains of swine virus has been born in the nearby of Perote.
In the satellite photograph (thanks google earth) you can see the circular oxidation lagoon.  

We recommended this article from The Guardian

article from THE GUARDIAN

 

The swine flu crisis lays bare the meat industry's monstrous power

The Mexico swine flu outbreak should alert us to a highly globalised industry with global political clout

The Mexican swine flu, a genetic chimera probably conceived in the faecal mire of an industrial pigsty, suddenly threatens to give the whole world a fever. The initial outbreaks across North America reveal an infection already travelling at higher velocity than did the last official pandemic strain, the 1968 Hong Kong flu.

Citizenship get organized themselves against Mexican Government ineptitude

SWINE FLU UPDATE MEXICO CITY,  28 APRIL 
 
Two bits of vital info:
 
1.
This blogspot contains concealed information about the original source of the swine flu virus.
The journalists' English might not be pristine, but the research is admirable.
I know one of them personally, a very reliable first-hand info source.
 
Hope you all spread the word so as to push for closing down that swine farm in Veracruz ASAP.
http://mexicanvirus.blogspot.com/ 
 
 
2.
The Colonia Condesa, Roma and Hipódromo nighbourhood committees conducted a survey in our 3 districts over last week-end interviewing 500 residents, foreign and local, on the flu issue and recent breathing conditions. From all the info gathered thereof, including doctors residing in the area:
 
We concluded smoking should be banned altogether, that is: in public, private, open and closed areas, streets, cars and homes alike, as it is greatly to blame for the deterioration in air quality and lung health, immunity and capacity of all city dwellers to fight off any respiratory virus, be it the swine flu, the common cold or any other virus in vogue. 
 
Cigarrette smoke impairs membranes lining the throat, lungs, nose and eyes to eliminate and wash off viruses, bacteria and infection in general. Any virus floating around will easily settle and spread in dry, polluted, intoxicated tissues. 
 
Mexico City dwellers can't afford cigarrette smoke in their air quality, it's too polluted already with other inevitable toxins. Using the car, bus or metrobus is inevitable. Smoking is a selfish, stubborn whim.
 
3 cigarrettes pollute the lungs, throat, nose and eyes more than 1 modern car. A smoker is far more of a global warmer than a car.
 
A chain smoker is a danger to the planet and the melting of the poles, and dying of species like the polar bear, producing more toxins than car engines and more CO2 in his lifetime than any old bus or truck.
 
Check out youtube British, Canadian, Spanish, European and Australian videos with keywords:

Remember, life is OXIGEN. Cigarrette smokers are OXIGEN THIEVES, but they don't have to be, they just want to.

The cat is right now out of the bag

México, april 28 -2009.- Today is day 5 of the mexican alert, and secound day we are in WHO level 4 of pandemia alert just one step to be global. Maybe someday this testimony could be historic. We don´t know how this porcine swine virus could evolve in the very next future. Mexican health authorities has demostrate unless big ineptitude, concealment and unexperience for treat with this big problem. We have made ours the demand of clear information about the outbreak in the community La Gloria, Valle de Perote municipality, state of Veracruz, about 280 kilometers southeast of Mexico City where a pig breeder, Granjas Carroll, has a massive production and where almost every inhabitant of La Gloria fall ill in late december (2008) with symptoms such like porcine swine but local, state and federal authorites denies this fact and decided to protect a big businness.
Today, an article writed by Terry Jones, who has worked in influenza virus research teams, said some facts: 

1.- the cat is out of the bag. Or we don´t know what could be happen. The situation is out of control.

2.- The virus of influenza now affecting Mexico seems to have airborne ways to spread by itself.

3.- In the first aviar influenza international teams has succeed in cancelling the airborne way of infection killing some ill birds. In Mexico we have the problem that authorities hasn´t political will to recognize the truth and, just and only then, to cancel the problem in Veracruz.

4.- Mexican gov only acts and reacts just as prompt as international pressure is on it. 

5.- In Mexico are more important big businesses than people or health. 
i.e. the first ecologists that reveal the truth of what a pig breeder are doing in Veracruz and against humanity, Granjas Carroll, are in jail right now.

6.- Influenza is a very big political issue. You can learn that studying the spanish influenza pandemic in early twentieth century.
