Panic In The Ukraine: Deadly Illness Looks Like Pneumonic Plague

I’ve been watching this one for several days, reading first-person accounts out of the Ukraine. There is a deadly illness that is spreading so fast that vast parts of the country have been quarantined. So far, there’s no mention of it yet in our mainstream media.

Ukrainian officials have been instructed to call it “swine flu”, but it’s symptoms are much more like the 1918 Spanish flu. People are dying quickly after becoming ill, respiration becomes impossible because their lungs fill with blood. Has H1N1 mutated? An bug that kills in 3-4 days has to spread pretty fast to stay alive. And this one is spreading very, very quickly. Pretty dang horrifying.

There are almost 200,000 people sick from the disease, and about 15,000 hospitalized. The government has closed schools, quarantined at least 9 major regions, banned public events and put the January electoral campaigns on hold. In four of Kiev’s 10 districts, most drugstores posted handwritten signs in their windows that read “no masks.” A central info line for the city’s drugstores said yesterday most stores had run out of protective masks or flu and cold remedies such as paracetamol (acetaminophen.)

Ukraine has asked the U.S., the EU, NATO and its neighbors for protective masks and Tamiflu to Ukraine after President Viktor Yushchenko said the country couldn’t fight an outbreak of pandemic influenza alone.

The outbreak suggests severe cases and deaths in Ukraine occurred among adults aged between the ages of 20 and 50, according to the World Health Organization. Here is their statement on the pandemic. Please keep these people in your prayers- I am searching for a good charitable organization that is on the ground helping with this horror in the Ukraine. I’ll post if I find one– if readers know some good ones, hit me up in the comments and share it with us.
