UNKNOWN CAUSES!!! 4000 DEATHS MORE IN FEBRUARY!!! Spanish flu crossed the border, and became the Portuguese flu... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11498670 This is very scary... The thing that made Spanish flu so deadly was health and hygiene practices back then. Also it was during WW1 and people weren't as healthy as they normally are. My brother in law was affected by the Hong Kong SARS outbreak. He is a professor at the hospital that was raided and closed off by WHO - quarantining everyone inside. The eventually let him out because he no longer works with patients. Swine flu seem to have some promise. But that was the biggest let down in the history of flu's. |

UNKNOWN CAUSES!!! 4000 DEATHS MORE IN FEBRUARY!!! GREAT GREAT LINK THANK'S!!! Mortality in Portugal very high and increasing over past 3 weeks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted yesterday at 10:31 Mortality in Portugal increased in the last 3 weeks Nuno Guedes Mortality with numbers higher than expected. Flu and extreme cold can be the causes of this increase, but there is no certainty. Three weeks ago there are more people dying in Portugal than would be expected for this time of year taking into account the average mortality of earlier years. This excess mortality may be to blame the cold and a flu epidemic, but there is no certainty. Data from the National Health Institute Dr. Ricardo Jorge (INSA), consulted by the TSF, reveal that from 2008-2009, when there was the last major flu epidemic coupled with intense cold, that there was so much death in the country. In the last week for which data are available, 13-19 February, the mortality rate rose even more than the previous two weeks when the INSA has said that the weekly mortality figures was "above expectations". For the third consecutive week the Surveillance System of Daily Mortality repeats the assertion, but this time adds that this mortality is observed especially among those over 65 years. [link to m.tsf.pt] From the latest surveillance bulletin, the majority of cases are Inf. A/H3 with 1 Inf B specimen. The mortality chart is below; [link to www.flutrackers.com] |

UNKNOWN CAUSES!!! 4000 DEATHS MORE IN FEBRUARY!!! The flu epidemic sweeping across Japan has now affected people in all 47 prefectures, but the epidemic may not have peaked yet, the National Institute of Infectious Diseases said Saturday. The institute said that as of Feb 5, the number of flu patients in Japan topped 2.11 million, an increase of 380,000 over the previous week. The number of patients visiting hospitals and clinics for flu treatment has now exceeded that during the peak week of the swine flu outbreak in 2009, when 1.89 million patients sought medical help, NHK reported. [link to www.japantoday.com] Japan suffering from worst flu season in 10 years Face masks are being seen everywhere in Japan at the peak of flu season, as the number of patients is increasing at the fastest pace in 10 years. The number of patients who sought treatment at medical institutions subject to a survey stood at 42.62 on average in the latest week from Jan. 30 to Feb. 5. That was the highest at this time of the year since 2002. The total number of flu patients in Japan is estimated to be about 2.11 million. Starting this month, the number of patients who have contracted different types of flu strains is also increasing. This influenza season features the spread of a Type A Hong Kong flu for the first time in five seasons. About 90 percent of patients were contracting that type of virus until January. From this month, however, patients that are suffering from a Type B influenza are also increasing in some areas. [link to ajw.asahi.com] G.Y.!B.E. |

Trying to get a baseline before everyone panics ;) Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11287364 Look, do you know what is the problem, besides health care cuts and enforced austerity by the IMF/EU? Old folks are abandoned and not respected anymore like they used to in this country. The new generation shits on the ones that fought a war, starved, got tortured, and endured other kinds of suffering to provide them democracy and freedom after 1974. This is a fucking sad state of affairs. These news are not Doom worthy at GLP, "pity" or "indifference" are what comes to mind. |

Mysterious deaths of thousands of humans at once! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11478555 This is compleatly crazy!!! Only with swine flue we have all this deaths... i don't imagine what's going on... maby an unknown virus How long have we known that the plan is to eliminate what they call "useless eaters"? I would say that sadly, this is no real surprise, is it The only surprise is that it finally, actually is happening. No longer just a theory on GLP and elsewhere, but hard cold numbers from around the world The super rich "elite" have stated many times that their goal is population reduction. The rapidly accelerating economic and unemployment crisises in Europe and elsewhere have given them the green light to begin the culling process There is no global economic recovery. It is all being propped up and an illusion. The elite realize that the real threat are the millioins of people who have no hope in sight of getting a job, the millions of frustrated young people ready to violently revolt and overthrow the governments, the governments around the world who are bankrupt and running out of new buyers and taxpayers to prop up a mortally wounded welfare system Haven't you heard the drug companies have quietly been cutting back on the production of most anti-biotics and life saving drugs? Around the world, these basics are in shortage or very short supply. The next pandemic, an engineered mix of small pox/mouse pox and mutated spanish influenza no doubt, is poised ready to do its job I'll be happily surprised and shocked if we make it through 2015 without seeing another 1918 style global epidemic Sorry about what is happening, but I would bet you will be seeing similar news from Spain, Greece, and the other BK nations soon Last Edited by Harvey the Big Cat on 02/26/2012 05:09 PM |

Cold and flu may be responsible for mortality peak Quoting: Luisport RTP Feb 26, 2012, 12:01 / updated on Feb 26, 2012, 13:36 For the third consecutive week Portugal recorded a mortality peak between 13 and 19 February there were over three thousand deaths, the majority of cases in people over 65 years. The flu epidemic and low temperatures are likely causes, but the health minister revealed that the authorities are already investigating the cause of this mortality peak.
