[Cz-L] Re: Swine Flu

The New York Times suggests political reasons for the Ukrainian
government's response to swine flu...

<http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/11/02/health/AP-EU-Ukraine-Swine-Flu.html>

According to the article:

The World Health Organization said Monday there was no evidence that
Ukraine had a bad outbreak of swine flu but at the government's
request it had sent a health team there to help the country cope.

"But this is not an indication that the situation is severe,'' said
WHO spokeswoman Liuba Negru. "The information we have gotten (from the
government), we have to double-check it and make sure it is real,
evidence-based information."

Ukraine's Health Ministry said Monday that 70 people in the nation of
40 million have died of flu, but did not say how many of those deaths
were related to swine flu. Worldwide, outbreaks of regular seasonal
flu claim 50,000 lives each year.
