That was the headline from an AFP news article posted Tuesday 11/11/2009.
Today RiaNovosti News reports 1.2 million and 213 dead.
What is alarming is these rates are about 10 times the rates of what is going on in the rest of the world with the H1N1 flu. There are reports of it being Hemorrhagic Pneumonia or the Pneumonic Plague.
WHO has only accounted for 70 cases of H1N1 and 17 deaths to H1N1. Thats a big difference to 1.2 million sick,53,000 hospitalized and 213 dead. They are staying steadfast that this outbreak is all the H1N1 and nothing else. That is about all you will find in the coverage of this in any Mainstream press.
A Commentary "Suspected Hemorrhagic Pneumonia Outbreak Hits Ukraine"
by Stephen Lendman of the Baltimore Chronicle and Sentinal 11/11/2009 Does a good job of filling in the rest of the stories and speculations going on with this epidemic.
I find some of the reports like planes flying overhead spraying the virus a bit to much conspiracy fear mongering but I still have to question why is so much of the news and coverage of this so hush hush.
Reports of Schools, Towns, Borders all being closed, Martial Law Declared.
What is the real story and why is their Flu 10 times more virulent than what the rest of the world is experiencing. Is this a new mutated strain that the rest of the world will be up against next??? The time is way overdue for WHO and Mainstream media to start filling in blanks and dispelling rumors.
I found this section Of the Global Research web site full of very compelling reading regarding the H1N1 flu.
