Bird Flu Pandemic

The latest numbers out of Ukraine indicate that 1.25 million people have now contracted what is being called "the mystery flu". Over 65,000 of those have required hospitalization and 239 are officially reported to be dead. As the situation in Ukraine continues to become more dire, many health experts continue to be absolutely perplexed as to why the WHO continues to refuse to release the sequences from the samples taken from patients in Ukraine well over a week ago.  Meanwhile, there has been a dramatic spike in flu cases in neighboring countries such as Russia, Belarus and Bulgaria.  In addition, a dramatic increase in flu cases is being reported in Serbia, Norway, India and Canada.  In many of these nations there are reports of the flu virus absolutely disintegrating the lungs of patients just like it is doing in Ukraine.

Has the H1N1 swine flu virus in Ukraine mutated to become more like the 1918 Spanish flu that killed 50 to 100 million people across the globe?  Just like the current H1N1 swine flu virus sweeping the globe, the 1918 Spanish flu was a virus strain of subtype H1N1.  Just like the current H1N1 swine flu virus, most of the victims of the Spanish flu were healthy young adults.  Now news has come out that the patients that are dying in Ukraine are experiencing the total destruction of their lungs - just like the 1918 Spanish flu.

The pandemic situation in Ukraine has rapidly gotten worse.  In fact, the number of people in Ukraine who have contracted serious respiratory illness has almost doubled in two days to nearly half a million.  The number of confirmed deaths is 81, although there are some sources that suggest that the number of deaths is actually much higher.  While some mainstream media outlets still refuse to consider the possibility that the outbreak in Ukraine is anything other than the H1N1 strain that is found in other areas of the world, the reality is that the hemorrhagic nature of the respiratory disease in Ukraine has many health experts speculating either that the H1N1 swine flu virus has mutated in that region or that what is happening in Ukraine is an outbreak of pneumonic plague.

At this hour a team of experts from the World Health Organization is on the ground in Ukraine, but the search for solid answers about what in the world is going on there has not made much progress.  Some sources are insisting that it is just the same old H1N1 swine flu that is found in the rest of the world.  Others are speculating that the H1N1 swine flu there has mutated into a much deadlier form.  Other sources are absolutely convinced that the H1N1 swine flu simply could not produce the kind of deaths that are being seen right now in Ukraine.  (Read More).....
