10,000 hit by hand-foot-mouth disease in Vietnam

Laos News.Net Tuesday 12th March, 2013

Over 10,000 Vietnamese have been affected by the hand-foot-mouth disease, a contagious viral illness that affects mostly infants and children, the health ministry said Tuesday.

Nguyen Van Binh, head of the ministry's Preventive Health Department, said the disease has spread to 60 of the country's 64 provinces, Xinhua reported.

The disease shows symptoms of fever and a rash most frequently seen on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and inside the mouth.

In Vietnam, the most common strain is Enterovirus 71 (EV-71).

A four-month-old baby died in southern An Giang province Feb 28, just one day after contracting the virus.

The same viral toxicity has been seen in Cambodia, where 54 children recently died within 24 hours of contracting the disease.

Japan, Macau, South Korea and Singapore have also reported high numbers of new patients.

Vietnam expects an estimated 100,000 patients this year, the health official said.

The disease can be transmitted though digestive tracts. There are no vaccines or specific medicines to combat the disease and children under five are most vulnerable to it.

The main preventive measures are following hygienic practices in eating and drinking.

In 2012, the disease affected 151,100 people, of which 45 died, according to Vietnam's official records.

Novel coronavirus infection - update

12 MARCH 2013 - The Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia has informed WHO of a new confirmed case of infection with the novel coronavirus (nCoV).

The patient, a 39-year-old male, developed symptoms on 24 February 2013. He was hospitalized on 28 February 2013 and died on 2 March 2013. Preliminary investigation indicated that the patient had no contact with previously reported cases of nCoV infection. Other potential exposures are under investigation.

To date, WHO has been informed of a global total of 15 confirmed cases of human infection with nCoV, including nine deaths.

Based on the current situation and available information, WHO encourages all Member States (MS) to continue their surveillance for severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) and to carefully review any unusual patterns. WHO is currently working with international experts and countries where cases have been reported to assess the situation and review recommendations for surveillance and monitoring.

All MS are reminded to promptly assess and notify WHO of any new case of infection with nCoV, along with information about potential exposures that may have resulted in infection and a description of the clinical course.

WHO does not advise special screening at points of entry with regard to this event nor does it recommend that any travel or trade restrictions be applied.

WHO continues to closely monitor the situation. http://www.who.int/csr/don/2013_03_12/en/index.html

The patient, a 39-year-old male, developed symptoms on 24 February 2013. He was hospitalized on 28 February 2013 and died on 2 March 2013.

The above comments are from the March 12 WHO update.  Earlier media reports on February 27 cited two additional unconfirmed cases, which preceded the hospitalization of the above case.  The three most recent confirmed cases (61F, 69M, 39M) have been fatal in Saudi Arabia, and all but one of the 13 cases since the summer of 2012 have been from Saudi Arabia.

The high case fatality rate indicates the number of novel cornavirus infections is orders of magnitude higher than the confirmed cases, which have lacked detail.  March signals the start of coronavirus season, and more fatal cases are expected in the near term.

Parallels with the 2002/2003 SARS outbreak continue to increase.

Shanghai Races to Clean River After Dead Pigs Double to 5,916

hattip Pathfinder

By Bloomberg News on March 12, 201

Shanghai said it’s increasing the frequency of water quality checks after almost 6,000 dead pigs were found in a river that runs through the city.

The number of dead pigs found from the Songjiang section of the Huangpu river more than doubled from the previous tally to 5,916 as of 3 p.m. yesterday, the Shanghai government said on its official microblog. The retrieval of the dead hogs has slowed, it said.

Shanghai authorities had said in an earlier statement it had restored clean water to parts of the river in Maogang, where the carcasses were first discovered. Investigations by food regulatory authorities show that there’s no sign diseased pork has entered the city’s markets, according to a posting on the city’s website.

Preliminary investigations showed the dead pigs, which include piglets and mature hogs, had floated down the river from neighboring Zhejiang province, the Shanghai government has said.

The discovery of the hogs is the latest scare in China, where leaders have come under criticism for the handling of health and environmental issues. The government announced on March 10 a plan for a regulator with broader authority to ensure food and drug safety and said the agriculture ministry will oversee the quality of farm products, underpinning its pledge to crack down on violations and better protect consumers.

Shanghai Bund

The Huangpu river cuts through the center of China’s financial hub, running past Shanghai’s historic waterfront Bund area. Songjiang and Jinshan are more than 30 kilometers (18 miles) southwest of the city center, which is home to the country’s largest stock market and the China headquarters of HSBC Holdings Plc and Citigroup Inc.

“As long as diseased pigs don’t find their way into the food supply, there won’t be any major impact on demand,” James Feng, general manager of Soozhu.com, China’s biggest independent hog researcher, said in a telephone interview from Beijing. “The government needs to better enforce laws governing the disposal of dead pigs and reporting of outbreaks, to discourage farmers from their habit of discarding the animals in ditches and rivers.”

Wholesale pork prices have fallen almost five percent since Feb. 1, according to Ministry of Commerce data.

Hog Disease

Porcine circovirus, a common disease among hogs, was found in a sample taken from the river, Shanghai’s agriculture department said on March 11, citing the city’s animal disease control authorities. Tests conducted hourly on the river, which provides drinking water for some of the municipality’s 23 million residents, were negative for other diseases including foot-and-mouth, swine fever, hog cholera and blue ear, it said.

There’s no evidence that porcine circovirus is a safety risk or causes illness in humans, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website.

The official Xinhua News Agency reported yesterday that ear tags from 14 of the hogs showed they originated from Jiaxing, a major pig-farming region in Zhejiang province. Investigations conducted since the carcasses were first discovered showed no sign of a “serious” epidemic among the livestock in the city, according to Xinhua.

The mortality rate of hogs in Jiaxing is currently within “normal” limits, Xinhua said, citing Jiang Hao, a deputy director of the Jiaxing husbandry and veterinary bureau. There may have been many factors that contributed to the deaths of these pigs, including farming techniques, environmental conditions, climate and illness, Jiang was cited as saying.

Pig Farmers

Jiaxing has more than 100,000 pig farmers and about 4.5 million hogs are slaughtered there each year, Xinmin.cn reported separately, citing Jiang. Farmers caught discarding dead pigs irresponsibly may face fines of no more than 3,000 yuan ($482), according to the newspaper.

China had more than 460 million hogs in inventory as of December, according to data from the Ministry of Agriculture. The nation is the world’s biggest consumer and producer of pork. Ministry of Commerce data showed prices of the meat fell 1.7 percent in the week to March 3, before the carcasses were first reported in Shanghai.

The discovery of dead hogs in Shanghai has become one of the most-popular topics on Sina Corp.’s Weibo microblog service, its website showed.

Bird flu not yet a problem in Laos

Laos is still free of the H5N1 avian influenza virus, despite recent outbreaks in neighbouring countries, the Head of the National Emerging Infectious Disease Coordination Office, Dr Bounlay Phommasack, told Vientiane Times on Friday.

However, the Ministry of Health has ordered the relevant sectors to work together to closely monitor for the virus, to ensure no outbreaks occur in Laos.

The virus has killed eight people in Cambodia in the past two months, according to a Xinhua news agency report last week.

“Since we received the announcement from the ministry a few weeks ago, the office has worked closely with central and local authorities to monitor people around the country who have symptoms like fits of coughing or headaches and runny noses, but we have not found any people infected with the virus yet,” Dr Bounlay said.

To prevent the virus spreading into Laos, the National Emerging Infectious Disease Coordination Office, in cooperation with various government agencies, will carry out more checks on livestock imports and exports as well as observing visitors in certain target areas.

“We had outbreaks of the H5N1 virus from 2004 to 2009, which resulted in two deaths in 2007, but most of the infections were restricted to poultry,” said Dr Bounlay.

Thousands of birds were culled to prevent the virus spreading, with outbreaks affecting the price and consumption of poultry throughout Laos.

“Most outbreaks occur in areas where poultry breeders seem not to care about prevention and ignore their responsibility to keep coops clean,” he commented.

“Laos will be at risk from bird flu at any time if all sectors, including government and private bodies, fail to cooperate fully to prevent its outbreak,” he added.

Annual flu epidemics kill 250,000-500,000 people each year and cause severe illness in 3 to 5 million others worldwide. But the new strains that jump from animals to humans can be even more devastating if the global population has no immunity to them.

More than 234 people have died of bird flu since 2003, mainly in Indonesia, Vietnam and China, according to Care International.

Shanghai authorities have announced the discovery of traces of porcine circovirus, a common disease among pigs which may be responsible for the over 2,000 animal corpses found in the Huangpu river. The virus is not known to be infectious to humans.

Porcine circovirus, a common disease among hogs that isn’t known to be infectious to humans, was found in a sample taken from the Songjiang section of the Huangpu river, Shanghai’s agriculture department said, citing the city’s animal disease control authorities. Tests conducted hourly on the river, which provides drinking water for some of the municipality’s 23 million residents, were negative for other diseases including foot-and-mouth, swine fever, hog cholera and blue-ear, it said.

The China News Service reported today the total number of carcasses has risen to 2,813, up from the more than 1,200 reported by the government earlier today. A preliminary investigation showed the dead pigs, which include piglets and mature hogs, had floated down the river from neighboring Zhejiang province, the Shanghai government said on its website.

“We have heard increased reports of outbreaks from our customers, and so far they don’t appear to be serious, although they can potentially develop,” James Feng, general manager of Soozhu.com, China’s biggest independent hog researcher, said by phone from Beijing. “Given the magnitude of China’s hog herds, it’s not uncommon to have thousands of pigs killed by diseases,” he said. http://shanghaiist.com/2013/03/11/porcine_circovirus_detected_in_shanghai_river.php

SHANGHAI, March 11 (Xinhua) -- A pig virus has been found in a water sample of a river where 1,200 dead pigs had been fished out, Shanghai authorities said.

Patrols boosted as dead pigs in creek hit 1,200

ANOTHER 300 or so dead pigs were retrieved from a creek in Songjiang District yesterday morning, making the total number of dead pigs removed from the creek more than 1,200 since last Friday.

The Songjiang District government said it has strengthened patrols on Hengliaojing Creek upstream in Zhejiang Province and found many floating carcasses. The district doubled the number of boats removing carcasses.

Ear tags on the dead pigs could not be made out but the Songjiang agricultural authorities said the dead pigs were likely from Pinghu in Zhejiang Province's Jiaxing City and some places in Jiangsu Province.

Shanghai collects dead pigs from farmers for biological treatment and farmers can receive some compensation for the loss. There is no such mechanism in Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces. The pig farmers there simply discard dead pigs in rivers, according to Jiaxing Daily. 

Zhulin Village, which has the largest pig breeding program in Zhejiang Province, experienced many swine deaths this year. More than 10,000 pigs died in January, over 8,000 in February and more than 300 every day this month. It was not known if the dead pigs came from the village, the newspaper said.

The Songjiang Environmental Protection Bureau has started frequent checks on water quality since Friday. No water pollution has been detected.  http://www.shanghaidaily.com/nsp/Metro/2013/03/11/Patrols%2Bboosted%2Bas%2Bdead%2Bpigs%2Bin%2Bcreek%2Bhit%2B1200/

IANS [ Updated 09 Mar 2013, 23:30:28 ]

Patna, Mar 9: Hundreds of chicken were culled and large quantity of eggs destroyed in Bihar's Purnea district following an outbreak of avian flu, officials said Saturday.

Purnea district magistrate Manish Verma said the administration had issued bird flu alert as a preventive measure. 

"We are fully prepared to deal with an outbreak," he said.

He said bird flu was detected after 300 birds of a government poultry farm died suddenly a few days ago.

"We sent blood samples for test. The results confirmed bird flu," Verma told IANS over telephone.

Verma said he had ordered culling of birds as a precautionary measure to check the spread of the virus.

An official of animal husbandry department said 15 teams of officials have been formed to check the spread of bird flu and ensure that birds and eggs were not send outside Purnea, about 350 km from here.

"All the entry of border along the district have been sealed and additional officials deployed to prevent traders from sending birds outside," an official said.

Purnea is a major supplier of chicken across Bihar and neighbouring West Bengal.  http://www.indiatvnews.com/news/india/hundreds-of-chicken-culled-after-bird-flu-outbreak-in-bihar-20648.html

The Magical Mystery Virus Tour

Do we know where it came from.......NO

Do we know where it is going......NO

Do we have a vaccine for it?.......NO

Do we know how many have actually been sick?...NO

Do we have any  updates on it?.....NO

 Do we know why the CDC,WHO,ect, continue to hide the truth about infections?.....NO

Have you heard anything about the crony case in England?....NO
..IT'S BEEN ALMOST 3 WEEKS!

Do we have signs warning about it at ME or ANY AIRPORTS?....NO

Do we have any announcement about it on any plane?...NO

A brochure?...NO

  ...A thermal scanner? .... Big box of masks?...

We do know it might have come from bats..or a camel..or a goat..or a human. That narrows it down quite a bit, don'tcha think?

I am surprised the CDC did put out some information and travel alert this week, but they continue to leave out a few obvious statements.. such as

JORDAN HAD 11 Probable cases at least.. Which lets them claim the only H2H occurred in the UK. http://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/ncv/overview.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_content=54ba6da1-a699-4a15-bc85-2b563261db59

They say there are no known cases in the U.S., but drs should be on the lookout for it. I wonder how many got THAT message? 

They and the WHO have issued no travel warning for any of the affected countries, only a travel alert for travelers that may go to those countries. They should be warning airlines!

 The State dept refuses to acknowledge it is happening. People still have 10 days to cough the crony in your face before visiting a dr. Seems like a very laid back approach to an entity that has Disease Control in it's title! 

Maybe they should change the name to the Center for Disease Complacency.

They could also open up a new travel dept..to sell tickets for the new Magical Mystery Virus Tour..Saudi Arabia already has one. Buy your tickets early..Looks like the bus will be full. 

Flying

Flying is a great way to spread the new crony. Good thing the latest suspect was only pretending to have it..

..Chinese man in an office cabin crew earlier this month to Saudi Arabia, cough, fever and headache and other symptoms after returning to Hong Kong, to be the new suspected infective SARS coronavirus, at noon today, preliminary laboratory tests confirmed that the man infected seasonal flu.
http://news.ifeng.com/hongkong/detail_2013_03/10/22940460_0.shtml

I imagine stewardess and other flight crews will also have to be watched as closely as the reg passengers. I guess they are all being checked for influenza A ?
No mention of it, but HK says they will make a few airline changes.

Saudia joins global alliance, offers 14,700 daily flights  7 July 2012 

..Saudi Arabian Airlines signed here yesterday a landmark agreement with SkyTeam, the second largest global alliance, offering its passengers access to 14,700 daily flights operated by the alliance's member airlines to 958 destinations in 173 countries..“Saudia’s membership adds value to the alliance by opening up the considerable Saudi Arabian market to our customers,” said Wisbrun. “We are responding to passenger demand for increased travel choice within the Middle East by adding a significant player from the region.”

From its hubs in Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam, Saudia operates a comprehensive network throughout the Arabian Peninsula, the Indian Subcontinent and Northern Africa. Saudia adds 51 new destinations to SkyTeam’s global network, including 23 within Saudi Arabia.. http://www.arabnews.com/saudi-arabia/saudia-joins-global-alliance-offers-14700-daily-flights
