Fantastic it's like playing Russian roulette.

Who would have guessed?

No one here, nope.

CDC Preparing for H7N9 Pandemic

[link to threatjournal.com]

From link:

Readers are reminded that while reported infection numbers are still relatively low, H7N9 clearly has world health authorities seriously spooked. So much so, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the CDC this week published a 1 BILLION dollar cost plus Federal Solicitation for the purposes of emergency experimentation with H7N9 Flu vaccines and emergency experimental antiviral treatments.

The Solicitation specifically references "preparation for a possible large scale national H7N9 influenza vaccination program."

Earlier this month, the CDC issued a presolicitation announcement of their intended $600 million dollar acquisition of 512 million syringes, alcohol prep pads and other related products necessary to meet the vaccine administration needs of the American public during a pandemic influenza event.

A truly heartwarming read. Sarcasm intended.

It is regrettable that the Health Ministry has so far not issued any official explanation to the punishment that it had handed out to Dr. Ali Zaki who uncovered the existence of coronavirus infections in the Kingdom and who also discovered a new type of the virus. 

Sad to see brilliant minds stuck behind the Muslim curtain. The dark ages are alive and well in the pages of their ONLY book. Too many sad things on GLP lately, I am getting depressed, and want to turn my face away from all of it. See ya later Vic-chick13.

However ugly things look right now,it might be better not to turn away,but face it.

Most of the sad and bad things happening,are not an accident.

And that includes diseases.

People that keep posting real information and others spreading it,are the only way to wake enough people up and fight what we're facing.

Everybody on this thread is doing a great job ,trying to get to the bottom of things ,and inform others.

Exchange of information saves many lives.

Always.

You are right my friend, I just get tired. Just tired. Thanks for the pep talk though!

Well said, friend. Thank you.

Saudi Arabia: Another MERS patient dies

[link to crofsblogs.typepad.com]

From link:
Within the framework of the epidemiological surveillance of the novel Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), the Ministry of Health (MOH) has announced the death of one patient of the previously infected cases in Al-Ahsa governorate. It is noteworthy that this woman aged 81 years, was suffering from a chronic kidney failure, as well as other chronic diseases, May Allah have mercy upon her. 

No new human cases of the deadly H7N9 bird flu strain were recorded in China for the second week in a row, national health authorities said Monday, suggesting the outbreak has slowed.

I could believe a few new cases, but absolutly NO NEW CASES? Seems odd.

WHO to help investigate coronavirus
The World Health Organisation (WHO) will help Saudi Arabia dig deeper into deadly outbreaks of a new SARS-like virus to draw up advice ahead of the annual haj pilgrimage, which attracts millions of Muslims.

The virus, which can cause coughing, fever and pneumonia, emerged in Saudi Arabia last year and has been found in 33 people there, killing 17. They are among 44 cases and 22 deaths worldwide, according to the WHO, which has called it the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV).

Seems odd to me too. Especially since the lack of news about h7n9 coincided with the crackdown on microbloggers.

No news is not good news in China.

Your right.

Beijing Reports 2nd H7N9 Case

[link to afludiary.blogspot.ca]

Today the Beijing Department of Health announced the detection of their 2nd lab-confirmed H7N9 case – this time in a 6 year-old-boy who fell ill and was seen at a local hospital on May 21st, and was treated for three days for fever, sore throat, headache and enlarged tonsils.  


It appears that H7N9 was not suspected, and he recovered sufficiently enough to return to a daycare facility on May 24th.
 

Samples taken from the child were analyzed on May 28th, and found to be positive for the H7N9 virus. The child was subsequently returned to the hospital for observation, and surveillance of his contacts is underway.

h7n9 drug resistant

Drug-resistant strains of H7N9 bird flu discovered
In a study published in The Lancet on May 28, researchers detailed three patients with the new avian flu strain that's hit China, known as H7N9, whose sickness could not be treated by Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and similar drugs.

"The apparent ease with which antiviral resistance emerges in A/H7N9 viruses is concerning; it needs to be closely monitored and considered in future pandemic response plans," the authors wrote.

Evening all! ( although it must be late for you, Prodlike )

Bit of an update re: the five new MERS cases
[link to crofsblogs.typepad.com]

Yes to late should be well asleep by now, it seems like the Saudis are just as slow as the Chinese if not worse regarding info coming out.

No one wants to be the country that kicks off a devastating worldwide pandemic.

Oh no! Anyone catch the story out of Africa- unknown disease kills 100 children in 24 hrs, vomiting blood! I don't known how to link on this iPad, but virus trackers, or is it flu trackers has the story. Damn, another one!
