Virus rampant in Canterbury
By KIM THOMAS - The Press

Cantabrians are being hit with a double whammy of swine flu and seasonal influenza as GPs don masks and gowns to stave off infection.

Canterbury virologist Dr Lance Jennings said the influenza season had "kicked in", with many cases of swine flu and the two strains of seasonal influenza being picked up.


Every year an average 400 people nationwide die from influenza.

It was likely, with the combination of the more contagious and nasty swine flu with seasonal influenza, that this year's total could be higher, Jennings said.

Within the next fortnight this influenza combination would hit the health sector, affecting its ability to care for flu patients and those with other illnesses.

Wellington Hospital, particularly, was already struggling with large numbers of staff off sick, he said.

Christchurch Hospital staff were reasonably well now but this was likely to change as influenza spread, Jennings said. It was estimated between 30 and 50 per cent of the population would fall ill.

It was likely elective surgery would have to be postponed if too many hospital staff became unwell, he said.

Elective surgery in Canterbury was cancelled for three weeks in 1996 when the region struggled with a particularly nasty bout of influenza, Jennings said.

Canterbury pandemic planning team adviser Dr Paul McCormack said that from yesterday every GP, pharmacist and district nurse was being advised to wear a mask and gloves while seeing patients.

"We want to keep our health workforce intact."

People with swine flu were contagious for up to two days before showing symptoms so health workers unknowingly be exposed, he said.

Medical staff would not be given Tamiflu to avoid getting influenza but it had not yet been decided whether they would be issued with it if unwell, McCormack said. Tamiflu could shorten the cycle of the virus and mean fewer days off work.

Health officials were relying on people to help slow the spread of influenza, and its effect on the health system, by being vigilant about personal hygiene, he said.

This meant frequent hand washing, containing sneezes and coughs and staying at home as soon as they became unwell, he said.

Disappointingly, some people with flu symptoms had visited Christchurch's 24-hour surgery over the weekend.

Mask-wearing staff were now screening people at the door to ensure those with influenza did not mingle with other patients, McCormack said.


The number of people in Canterbury with confirmed cases of swine flu yesterday remained at 93, although testing of all suspected cases has ceased.

Nationwide there were more than 300 confirmed cases of Influenza A (H1N1) infection, with two-thirds of cases confirmed in the past week.

New Zealand: Civil Defence prepares for flu pandemic

17th June 2009

Civil Defence is ramping up emergency plans in anticipation of having to back up health officials should swine flu cripple the country.

The news comes as it's also been confirmed the Bay of Plenty now has four confirmed cases of swine flu, and 74 people are being monitored.

The number of confirmed swine flu cases rose by 31 yesterday to reach 117 and is expected to rise further as it spreads within the community rather than just coming in with overseas travellers.

The Ministry of Health is set to abandon efforts to try to contain swine flu if the virus becomes too widespread to stamp out.

The Bay of Plenty Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group has said if the health sector became "overwhelmed" by swine flu, they would step in and help support the community by co-ordinating the delivery of groceries and meals through volunteers, including Neighbourhood Support.

Bay of Plenty District Health Board communications manager Carol Wollaston said about eight people a day had arrived at Tauranga Hospital's emergency department worried they had swine flu. None of the cases to date had turned out to be swine flu, Ms Wollaston said yesterday.

"Anyone who arrives with suspected swine flu is assessed very quickly, and taken to a designated isolation cubicle.

"At this time of year, we often get people coming to ED (emergency department) with seasonal flu."

Ms Wollaston said staffing levels at the hospital had not been affected by swine flu, with the number of staff off sick typical for this time of year.

Any staff member with an infectious illness was advised not come to work. "That would always be the case with any flu."

Meanwhile, Civil Defence is stepping into preparation mode in case swine flu does choke the health sector.

Bay of Plenty Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group co-ordinator Greg Wilson said at the moment Civil Defence were just the "backroom boys" making sure things were in place should they be required.

Bay of Plenty Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group encompasses the Tauranga and Western Bay of Plenty districts, Rotorua district, Opotiki, Whakatane and Kawerau.

The centres man their own emergency operations centres, except for Western Bay and Tauranga City Council, who man one together.

Environment Bay of Plenty is also included in the group, and is the administrating authority.

The Civil Defence Emergency Management Group, through their welfare advisory group, would co-ordinate the delivery of welfare services during a pandemic.

Mr Wilson advised that residents should be prepared incase things worsened, and they were stranded alone for several days.

Thanks to Y2K and ads for Civil Defence, people are much more aware of the need to have an emergency kit and stocks of food in case of an emergency.

However, Mr Wilson said latest figures showed only about 29 per cent of the population were prepared for a civil emergency.

The health messages at the time of the bird-flu scare in 2005 should have alerted people to the need for hand-washing, smothering coughs and sneezes and face masks - basic but effective precautions to slow the spread of infection.

Mr Wilson said prior to the outbreak of Influenza A H1N1, Civil Defence was looking to update their 2006 pandemic plan.

The organisation now had a modified version and a draft pandemic plan for 2009.

The 2006 plan looked at responding to a pandemic like the one that hit New Zealand in 1918, when Spanish flu swept the country and killed 8251 people.

Mr Wilson said the 2009 plan was written to include a more "milder scenario" and include some scenarios from New Zealand's 1957 pandemic.

Organisations like Civil Defence and police could be stretched maintaining public order - guarding chemists' shops and supermarkets - if distribution breaks down, as it might in a major pandemic.

Again, the pandemic plan has considered these possibilities and there are measures in place to cope with varying degrees of economic and social disruption.

Mr Wilson said there should be a revival of neighbourhood watch groups, and everyone should have the phone numbers of neighbours on either side of their home and opposite them in the street.

Recombinomics: Pandemic H1N1 Cluster in Buffalo New York Raises Concerns


Commentary

Pandemic H1N1 Cluster in Buffalo New York Raises Concerns
Recombinomics Commentary 12:44
June 22, 2009

Davis was an eighth grader at Harvey Austin School 97 on Sycamore Street.
News 4 talked to the 15-year-old's mother Lucretia Belton. Matthew attended Harvey Austin School 97.
His mother said complications from swine flu included pneumonia and MRSA.
She said his kidneys were failing, and he was being kept alive by machines.
A nine-year-old girl is also at Women and Children's Hospital with the H1N1 virus.
She's a fourth grader at Charles Drew Science Magnet School 59's museum campus.

The above comments describe two students of magnet schools in Buffalo, NY that are a mile apart (see updated map). Both students were on life support yesterday, and the middle school student (15) died after life support was withdrawn. The elementary school student (9F) remains on life support. The clustering of two critically ill students raises concerns about the emergence of a more lethal strain of Pandemic H1N1.

The two serious cases may simply reflect the high level of H1N1 infections in the area. 37 Buffalo area zip codes have registered at least one confirmed H1N1 case (see map and list below). Moreover adjacent Niagara County announced clusters of cases in two elementary schools, and clusters were also described for Hamilton Ontario, just across the border from Buffalo and Niagara county (see map). Moreover, H1N1 has been widespread in the Halton area, where infections have been confirmed in more than 30 schools in Oakville.

However, the state agency and media reports do not describe any pre-existing conditions for either student and these two cases follow two announcements by the city of New York of 14 deaths in May. Seven were announced on Tuesday, and seven more were announce on Friday, but these announcements lacked detail. All had died in May and all were between the ages of 25-64. However, there was no additional information and no mention of pre-existing conditions.

The significance of the failure to mention pre-existing remains unclear. Many of the prior death were said to have pre-existing conditions, but there was little evidence pointing to a strong role of these conditions in the deaths. In Mexico, most of the fatalities were in young adults who did not have pre-existing conditions. Although reports of US cases have stated that 70% of fatalities had pre-existing conditions, it remains unclear if such figures include the 14 cases announced by NYC or other cases that have been confirmed but not announced.

Recent comments in press conferences by WHO and the CDC have added to the uncertainty. At the WHO press release introductory remarks by Kieji Fukuda cited 249 deaths worldwide, which raised questions, since the official tally at the time was only 140 deaths. Last week at the CDC press conference, opening remarks by Dan Jerrnigan indicated that 40% of the fatal cases had pre-existing conditions, which was much lower than the 70% cited for the released cases. In both instances the press conference transcript was edited to reflect the numbers for the released cases. However, the delay in the acknowledgement of the cases in New York raises concerns that the higher number of fatal cases and the lower percentage of cases with pre-existing condition reflects the current number of confirmed cases, which includes a high percentage of fatal cases without pre-existing conditions.

The clustering of the critical cases in Buffalo raises concerns of a Pandemic strain that is evolving and becoming more lethal. The 2009 Pandemic is tracking with the 1918 Pandemic, which produce mild disease in the spring, and was more lethal in the fall when previously healthy young adults.

One such change that could increase lethality is PB2 E627K. This polymorphism is present in seasonal influenza A, including the 1918 pandemic strain. It allows for optimal replication at lower temperatures, which may lead to a more transmissible and lethal Pandemic strain. This change has been reported for an isolate from Shanghai from a patient (22F) who recovered. The collection date, location, age and gender, suggests that the isolate came from a Chinese national who was a student in the US and flew to Shanghai on a flight that originated in New York with a lay-over in Hong Kong. Thus, the virus could have originated in New York, Hong Kong, or Shanghai, since the student developed symptoms shortly after arriving in Shanghai. The sequencers in China promptly released full sequences on all eight gene segments, and sequenced a clone to confirm that the E627K was not a sequencing error. The sequence of the clone exactly matched the original sequence.

However, this change may not offer much advantage at this time of the year in the northern hemisphere, but the change could appear in the southern hemisphere or could signal a change that is more widespread and circulating in the Hong Kong area. In any event, the presence of E627K in pandemic H1N1 strongly suggests that it will emerge in the fall, which is cause for concern.

The Buffalo cluster however raises concerns of additional changes, so sequencing of the isolate from the fatally infected middle school student would be useful.

Egypt: Although avian flu is endemic, the emergence of "pigs" Bank of viruses only .. awaits processing

Although avian flu is endemic, the emergence of "pigs"
Bank of viruses only .. awaits processing and support!!
Transferred to the "National Resources" .. The need for national
D. I made: reasonable!! .. Million pounds to be spent on research a year!!
We need .. Generators and two liquid nitrogen to preserve the virus

June 21, 2009

By: Zakaria Yusreya
With endemic avian influenza and the emergence of avian flu in pigs, the Agriculture Committee called for the establishment of the Shura Council of the Bank in order to refer to viruses at the emergence of new viruses and the discovery of vaccines and vaccines for viruses that threaten the current human resources.

"Evening," I decided to discuss the idea with experts and officials to discover that the bank already exists, "he told the Institute for Animal Health, and he began as just a small unit and then evolved into a bank is limited, but he needs a lot to become a bank and a national reference. And in the buildings, equipment and material support.
"Evening," visited the bank and confirmed by officials that the budget of the Institute of Animal Health million pounds only fully realized the bank!! Pointing out the need for generators to provide electricity for the operation of refrigeration systems in the event of power cuts in order to maintain the virus stored .. Well as the production of liquid nitrogen needed for keeping the virus for many years until the need arises.
Experts called on all the possibilities for the development of this bank so that they can study the genes of viruses and production of vaccines and appeals to address the deadly disease caused by, rather than relying on imports, which cost millions and put the State at the mercy of the other conditions that may be difficult.

D say. Made me director of the Institute of Animal Health Institute that the Bank of isolated viral and microbial and fungi .. The first is a small unit set up since the establishment of the Institute and has been developed and equipped to be the first of the Bank for the conservation and storage of isolates that cause animal diseases and common diseases.

Adds that it had submitted a project for the development of the bank two years ago the Academy of Scientific Research and was approved and began development through providing vital safety by contracting with the safety of U.S. vital to maintain the contents of the bank, as well as to researchers and Bank staff.

The development also included training courses for researchers and grants to persons outside the country for training in the laboratory reference methods of the European countries isolate the virus, classification and conservation .. And how to deal with them within the vital organs of safety .. The plant is currently preparing the safety of the third degree is vital to maintain the isolates and protect the environment from pollution.

Bank confirms that the virus has a major role in supporting and assisting researchers in the National Laboratory for the control of poultry production of the Institute of Animal Health and by the discovery of the virus with the swine flu first appeared in Egypt in 2006 where they were isolated from samples of the virus and follow the developments of genetic research, pharmacy, by the production of vaccines and objects countermeasures.

Asserting that she is very happy for the attention of the members of the Shura Council of the Agriculture Committee and ask them to increase support of scientific research and the establishment of the Bank of viruses .. But the World Bank, we have already, but he needs the support of significant material, since the budget of the Organization of Animal Health, which follows the status of agricultural research are very small .. Have arrived this year for a million pounds spent on the project to develop fully the World!!

Confirm that the bank needs to provide a huge cost to generators to maintain the cooling of the power outages .. In addition to the need to produce gas, liquid nitrogen to preserve the virus for long periods of time and cost of the one-to two million pounds.

Was hoped that the removal of isolated islands in which the Egyptians to do the researchers in collaboration with the Bank to send a copy of the virus isolates that are isolating their research in order to preserve their names and bank records for the protection of their intellectual property while preserving the right of access at any time .. Even the World Bank a safe place to preserve the wealth of Egypt from the virus.

D say. Hamdi Walid Kilani President of the Bank of viral isolation Laboratory National Veterinary We are the electronic registration of all data on the isolates and the timing of isolation as well as the names of researchers and scientists who have received or discovered the lab.

Confirms that the viral isolation unit containing refrigeration equipment for the storage of isolated bacteria, fungi and viruses in the degree of e Hrar up to 80 degrees below zero .. There are about 500 of which 360 isolated isolated the bird flu virus since the appearance of 4 years.

Bank adds that the isolates with all the means of safety is vital to keeping the contents .. And the protection of researchers while working through the booths of the vital safety researcher sitting in front of The inside of the condom through the glass .. And the rest of the requirements of sterilization and disposal equipment autoclaves.
Adds that the bank provides all the means of propagation of viruses and detection by the activated periodically to ensure survival of non-living have these breeds for use in vaccine production as needed.

Many benefits
D stresses. Mamdouh Abdel Gaffar, professor of the Faculty of Agriculture viruses Ain Shams University, said the bank can bring many benefits to provide the most important pathogens Isolates girls or human or animal viruses, bacteria, fungi, and follow-up study of genetic mutations that occur with the passage of time .. So it can be dealt with in certain ways to weaken and other heat producing antibodies to it.
Adds: These antibodies used Kvaksin any vaccines or vaccines injected by the body to give lifelong immunity .. And can thus provide hard currency spent on the import of vaccines and medicines from abroad.

Adds that he can also keeping viruses and experimental animals by the injection of the composition of antibodies for diagnostic or treatment of various diseases of plants, animals and humans in addition to providing researchers and scientists all over the Republic during the easy and safe deposit bank loan and return ..

Dr. clarify. Professor Ahmed Snoussi microbiological agent and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Cairo University graduate said the bank also needs to scientific institutions for the management of large buildings, processing plants are equipped with the latest devices freeze because of a virus being careful when they are inactive molecules outside the cell isolated by the organism to infect, but after a very serious injury. . And have a certain specificity depending on the type of organism, which hit a rapid reproduction and mutation of this needs to freeze the high degree of up to 80 degrees below zero in the case of conservation for months .. Whereas long-term conservation of the liquid nitrogen cooling under 196 degrees below zero ... It also requires the bank to the cadres of the research potential of all universities and scientific centers and trained on how to deal with these micro-organisms by means of bio-safety, which will be provided by the bank for the conservation of these strains of viruses and other maintenance of the theft or death ..

Fear .. Of autumn
D demand. Ali Abdul Aziz, deputy director of the Center for the wealth of microbial cultivation, Ain Shams to provide all possibilities to the bank so he could prepare for the face of the fierce bird flu virus has been endemic in Egypt, which is still in the early stages and we fear the fierce attack in times of anticipated breeding in the autumn.

Wants to be processed is composed on the model of the World Bank or the status of the symposium held by the microbial Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University, and is one of 23 banks in the world .. And only at the level of countries in the Middle East, which is keeping all micro-organisms from bacteria, yeasts, and fungi found the Egyptian and the environment that benefits all its contents, as well as researchers provide industry with all the needs of these types of Egyptian origin.

D say. Ismail Mohammad Reza viruses-time professor of the Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, the College has Talaptna since the 1998 establishment of Bank of viruses and issued a decision of the Minister of Agriculture set up a committee of professors of agriculture and veterinary medicine to develop the foundations for the establishment of gene bank of Isolates Alaatarat or viral genes on the model of bank assets, plant and animal their inception, which has been the ministry.

Adds that the past has not been the founding of the Bank so far, for many reasons, most notably the lack of large budgets necessary for the establishment of a national institution responsible for the management of the bank and processed at the highest level of technology is to isolate viruses and genetically Immunologically classified and preserved for study and follow-up Thoradtha and development that occurs each time.

Researchers say that the Egyptians had been Ieosoa claim the administration of the bank .. Especially with the spread of bird flu virus, and after the swine flu virus has been months since the submission of an integrated research project of the Bank of viruses of the Academy of Scientific Research and was approved to be on the implementation of a partnership between the Academy and the Ministry of Agriculture .. We are waiting for implementation so that the conservation and storage of viruses and the production of antibodies with Komassal manufactured locally.

D think. Nabila Shaker Dgedi professor of animal diseases of Medicine and Head of Veterinary Services National Center for Research said such an edifice of scientific need for the management of severe, such as those run by banks, financial operations until the deposit and withdrawal of isolates easily and safely at the same time and will be achieved by increasing the budget for scientific research, which currently does not exceed 1 or 2% of the budget of the state!!

D stresses. Hussein Hijazi, head of the Agriculture Committee of the Shura Council that the consolidation of scientific research and researchers has become an urgent need because they are the first line of defense for the health of Egyptians, especially after the fierce attack of influenza viruses from birds or pigs.

Adds that the establishment of scientific institutions, bank-virus or support existing ones to develop it must be concerned by the officials until the development of processing plants and to assist researchers in their work for the production of vaccines and serums.

The members of the Agriculture Committee are doing their best to increase the budget of the claim of scientific research .. And provide support to the Institute of Animal Health for the development of the Bank of viruses.

New Zealand: Mutation fear as swine flu spreads

By RUTH HILL - The Dominion Post
Last updated 05:00 22/06/2009


Fears are growing that swine flu which has killed 180 people worldwide will become resistant to antiviral drugs after confirmation that winter flu strains here are no longer susceptible to Tamiflu.


As the number of confirmed cases jumped to 258 yesterday, plus 745 probable or suspected victims, Wellington Hospital confirmed more infections, including a seriously ill teenage cancer patient.

However, Health Ministry officials says the actual number infected was likely to be "in the thousands" as doctors had stopped testing every patient.

A 30-year-old woman one of six affected Wellington Hospital patients remained critical in intensive care last night. A teenage cancer patient in the oncology ward was isolated on Friday night after being diagnosed and another patient who shared her room was also being treated with Tamiflu, along with nursing staff.

Swine flu currently responds to the antiviral drug Tamiflu. But Environmental Science and Research virologist Sue Huang, head of the World Health Organisation national influenza centre in Upper Hutt, said scientists feared it could mutate with a Tamiflu-resistant strain. All 18 seasonal influenza type A strains tested so far this year have been Tamiflu-resistant.

"Viruses are notoriously unpredictable ... if there was mixing of the novel virus with other AH1N1 strains circulating, such as in a person infected with both strains, the novel virus could take on resistant characteristics."

The ministry is stockpiling another antiviral drug, Relenza.

The ESR laboratory, one of only five nationally equipped to test for swine flu, hoped to clear its backlog of about 200 samples last night.

Egypt: The auspices of pleasure and the nose of the mountain ..The birth of Ms. Zainab Za

Sunday, June 21, 2009 - 19:15

رغم التحذيرات الخطيرة من وزارة الصحة حول عدم التواجد فى الأماكن المزدحمة بالمواطنين منعا لانتشار مرض أنفلونزا الخنازير، احتفل حى السيدة زينب مساء أمس السبت، بمولد زين العابدين فى ظل تواجد أمنى مكثف. Despite the serious warnings from the Ministry of Health about the lack of presence in the crowded places citizens in order to prevent the spread of swine flu, Zeinab neighborhood, celebrated on Saturday evening, the birthday of Zine El Abidine under intense security presence.

احتشدت أعداد ضخمة قدر عددها بأكثر من 5 آلاف مواطن من مريدى زين العابدين القادمين من مختلف المحافظات، ونتج عن ذلك التدافع والتزاحم، الكثير من حالات التحرش والمشاجرات العنيفة والسرقات. Rallied as much as the large numbers of more than 5 thousand residents from Maridi Abideen from various provinces, resulting in the stampede to overcrowding, many cases of harassment and violent fights and thefts.

هذا الاحتفال طرح السؤال الأبرز، أين الجهات المعنية من مثل هذه الموالد، والذى يعد بيئة خصبة ورائعة لانتشار فيروس أنفلونزا الخنازير والعديد من الأوبئة التى بدأت تظهر على الساحة فى الآونة الأخيرة، ولماذا لم يتم إلغاء الموالد بقرار حكومى تفادياً لانتشار المرض، وأين وزارة الصحة من مثل هذه الموالد، ولماذا لم تتحرك وتضع فى خططها مثل هذه الموالد فى الوقت الذى وضعت فيه دور السينما والمسرح ومترو الإنفاق وغيرها من الأماكن التى تشهد حشوداً من المواطنين؟ This celebration was the most prominent question is, where relevant, such as those of birth, which is a rich and wonderful environment for the spread of swine flu virus, and many of the epidemics, which began appearing on the scene in the recent past, and why is not the abolition of the government's decision to birth in order to avoid the spread of the disease, and where the Ministry of Health such birth, why not move and take their birth in such a time when it was the role of cinema, theater, subway and other places, where crowds of people?

مكمن الخطورة فى هذه الموالد مثلما حدث فى مولد زين العابدين، أن عددا كبيرا من الأجانب من مختلف الجنسيات قد حضروا الاحتفال وذابوا بين الحشود، واختلط الحابل بالنابل، ولذلك فإن مثل هذا الذوبان بين الحشود من البشر، والذى وصل عددها إلى أكثر من 5 آلاف مواطن يعد بيئة رائعة وقوية لنشر مرض أنفلونزا الخنازير بقوة.

Lies in the risk of birth as it happened in the birth of Zine El Abidine, a large number of foreigners of different nationalities have attended the celebration and mixed with the crowds, and merged in a confusing tangle, and the melting of such a crowd of people, who number more than 5 thousand people environment is a great and strong for the deployment of swine flu strongly.

الأمر الأخطر، أن هذا الاحتفال جاء تحت رعاية الدكتور فتحى سرور رئيس مجلس الشعب، والذى تصدرت صوره جنبات ساحة الاحتفال، ولم يخلُ جدار من الساحة دون أن يتم تعليق صور رئيس مجلس الشعب عليها.

Even more serious is that this celebration came under the auspices of Dr. Fathi Sorour, Speaker of the People, which topped the forms throughout the Square celebration, did not breach the wall of the arena without comment that the Speaker of the pictures it.

مصادر بوزارة الصحة أكدت لليوم السابع، أن الوزارة لم تضع فى خططها محاربة أنفلونزا الخنازير فى التجمعات والموالد، مشيرة إلى أن هذه الموالد بيئة خصبة بالفعل لنقل المرض، أسرع مما يتوقعه الخيال، خاصة وأن مريدى الموالد يأتون من مختلف المحافظات، وعندما يعودون إلى محافظاتهم فى حالة الإصابة بالفيروس سينقلونه لأقاربهم والمحيطين بهم، وهنا مكمن الخطورة، خاصة وأن هناك المئات من الموالد التى سيتوالى تباعاً الاحتفال بها خلال الأيام القادمة، وأبرزها موالد فاطمة النبوية والسلطان أبو العلا والسيدة سكينة والسيدة نفيسة والسيدة رقية وعلى زين العابدين وأحمد الرفاعى والسيدة زينب والإمام الشافعى وحسن الأنور والسيدة عائشة.

Health Ministry sources confirmed for the seventh day, that the ministry had failed to take their fight against swine flu in the groups and birth, noting that the birth is already a fertile environment for the transfer of disease, faster than expected by the imagination, especially since the birth Maridi come from various provinces, and when they return to the Mhafezathm Singulwnh of HIV and their relatives around them, and here lies the danger, especially since there are hundreds of birth Modules, which in turn during the celebration of the coming days, most notably the Prophet Fatima Mwald Sultan Abul-Ela, Mrs., Ms. Sakina Ms. Nafisa paper and Zine El Abidine Ahmed Rifai and Ms. Zainab and Imam El-Shafei, Hassan El Anwar and Ms. Aisha.

NY: Flu prompts warning to stock up on food

Published: Sunday, June 21, 2009

KINGSTON — People should have a three-week supply of food on hand in the case the current swine flu pandemic worsens, the leader of a town supervisors’ group said last week, and he warned that 40 percent of the workforce could be kept away from their jobs this fall if the outbreak lasts that long.


John Valk Jr., the supervisor of the town of Shawangunk and the president of the Ulster County Supervisors Association, said a worsening pandemic of the H1N1 influenza strain means “our workforce would be slower. Deliveries to stores would slow down, and that is the point of stocking up on 21 days’ worth of supplies. ... As things (get) backlogged, you’d have the things you need at the house.”



Greene County Public Health Director Marie Ostoyich has also advised readiness in the event the flu outbreak becomes more serious. She said briefings from state officials have emphasized that residents be prepared for the disruption of both municipal and commercial services.



“They did talk about (how) it won’t be business as usual,” Ostoyich said. “We don’t know about schools, businesses, whatever there may be — sort of like when we have a major snowstorm and we’re down to bare-bones basics and people aren’t to be out on the road traveling unless it’s absolutely necessary.




“We urged all the municipalities to come up with their plan,” she added, “but I don’t think I could, in any way, predict exactly what that’s going to look like when we’re there.”



Dr. Michael Caldwell, the Dutchess County health commissioner, said federal guidelines have varied during previous flu outbreaks, from keeping food supplies for as little as three days to longer periods based on the severity of the problem.



“You need to have a preparedness plan, maybe even more than three days of food, because, if there was a slowdown in travel, you would see a decrease in the ability to move food to your local shopping center and your local grocery store because a lot of those foods come in everyday,” Caldwell said. “We saw this with SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome, in 2002), and it went on a couple of months, and it was really causing a lot of trouble globally, particularly in the Asian part of the world and in Canada.”



Information being used by local officials in preparing for swine flu problems includes U.S. Department of Health and Human Services data about three influenza pandemics during the 20th century: the 1918-19 outbreak, which caused at least 675,000 U.S. deaths and up to 50 million deaths worldwide; the 1957-58 outbreak, which killed 70,000 in the United States and up to 2 million worldwide; and 1968-69 outbreak, which claimed 34,000 lives in this country and 700,000 around the world.



Valk said his grandmother died in the 1918 flu pandemic and he hopes medical science has advanced far enough to lessen the effects this time around.



“What I’ve read is that it was just like now, where it was, at first, minor and people thought we’d gotten through the flu season, and then it came back with a vengeance after the summer,” Valk said. “That’s when they lost control. Of course, they didn’t have flu vaccines” or flu treatments at the time.



Valk said even if there are fewer cases than expected in the current pandemic, it still could affect community services and be complicated by other events.

“If we had a snowstorm in the middle of winter and we had four of our highway guys (home sick) out of the 11, how would we get the roads clean?” he said.



Woodstock Supervisor Jeff Moran recently noted that, during the 1918 outbreak, there was a “lockdown” of the town.

“We stopped the traffic between Woodstock and Kingston, what traffic there was at that time, and closed the road,” he said.



The current flu outbreak — which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization earlier this month — has been confirmed in 74 countries and all 50 states in this country. In the United States, there have been 21,449 cases of swine flu and 87 deaths associated with the disease. New York state has had more than 1,700 confirmed cases, and New York City has had 23 deaths.



Locally, there have been 30 confirmed cases of swine flu in Dutchess County, four in Ulster County, three in Columbia County and one in Greene County. There have been no reported flu deaths in the region during the current outbreak.
