The 25 Canadian university students were beginning a language program in northeastern China.—more information you can see in www.9ico.com

Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu says the Jilin provincial government is keeping the students under medical observation for seven days in a hotel in Changchun city.
 
Ma says these students have normal body temperatures and are in good physical and emotional conditions, and are in his words “satisfied with this arrangement.”
 
Across China, authorities are detaining citizens from several different countries as part of efforts to fight the H1N1 influenza virus, commonly known as swine flu.

The U.S. Embassy in Beijing said four Americans were quarantined in China due to swine flu concerns, but two have already been released.
 
Meanwhile, a chartered plane from Mexico began collecting 70 Mexican citizens being held in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and Guangzhou.
 
In addition, 200 Chinese citizens have been stranded in Mexico City and Tijuana after China suspended flights in and out of Mexico. A China Southern Airlines jet has been sent to pick up those travelers.
 
Spokesman Ma says China and Mexico have kept close communication and contact on the issue of swine flu.
 
Ma says the two countries are working hand-in-hand to address this disease and further promote bilateral relations.  

But Mexican diplomats have complained many Mexicans detained were not at risk for flu and were held simply because of their citizenship.

China also suspended the importation of pigs and pig products from parts of Mexico, Canada and the United States. Ma says the temporary measure is meant to protect domestic animal husbandry and people’s health.

But four global organizations, including the United Nations and the World Health Organization, say there is no justification for bans on the importation of pigs or their products. They said as long as pork is handled properly it will not be a source of infection.
What we can do is try our best to help each other and try to decrease the number of victimed people. We hope we can work together and get through it.

Swine Flu Cases near 900,WHO warns against flu complacency

Filed under: health common sense — sportsboy @ 3:53 am

         The World Health Organization cautioned that almost 900 cases had been confirmed across five continents and authorities had to remain vigilant.——-nfl jerseys Press Release.

The world has 898 confirmed cases of the virus, known to scientists H1N1 virus, in a total of 18 countries, WHO said Sunday.

The United States has reported 226 confirmed cases in 30 states. The U.S. cases include one death — a Mexican toddler visiting relatives in the United States.

According to WHO, Canada has 70 confirmed cases; the United Kingdom has 15; Spain has 13; Germany has 6; New Zealand has 4; Israel has 3; France has 2; and Austria, China, South Korea, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland, Costa Rica and Ireland each have one.

In China, officials have quarantined 68 people, including 13 crew members, who were passengers of a Mexico City to Shanghai flight, which carried a passenger who tested positive for the virus, China’s state-run Xinhua news agency reported Sunday. None of the other passengers has exhibited any flu-like symptoms, one health official said.

About another 110 people who were on the Aeromexico plane went on to other destinations, and may face quarantines elsewhere, the news agency said. Fifteen have been quarantined at a Beijing hotel.

Shanghai’s airport is now barring other Aeromexico planes from landing there, a representative of the airline told CNN. Aeromexico is suspending flights to Shanghai until May 15, the representative said. The airline does not fly to Hong Kong or Beijing.

In the United States, New York has the most confirmed cases, with 63, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Texas has 40; California has 26; Arizona 18; South Carolina 15; Delaware 10; Massachusetts and New Jersey each have seven; Colorado has four; Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin each have three; Connecticut, Kansas and Michigan each have two; Alabama, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Utah each have one.

California officials suspended visitation and other “nonessential activities” at Centinela State Prison in Imperial County after an inmate was suspected of having swine flu. The case has yet to be confirmed with lab testing.

On Sunday, health officials in North Carolina and Pennsylvania announced the first confirmed cases in those states, and Louisiana’s governor said his state had seven confirmed cases. The cases from those three states were not immediately included in the CDC tally.

In Washington, U.S. Secretary of Health Kathleen Sebelius, appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” warned that even if the flu outbreak wanes, “it could come back with greater force in the winter and fall, when we get into flu season.”

“So, this is no time for complacency,” she said. “We want to stay out ahead of this.”

Dr. Anne Schuchat, the CDC’s interim deputy director for public health, told reporters Sunday that she was “heartened” by Mexican authorities’ reports but still is “very cautious.”

“I know that influenza can be surprising, and the time course here in the United States is later. We believe we’re just on the upswing here, and in several parts of Mexico, cases began quite a while ago,” Schuchat said.

“From what I know about influenza, I do expect more cases, more severe cases and I do expect more deaths,” she added. “And I’m particularly concerned about what will happen in the fall.”

Acting CDC Director Richard Besser, also speaking on “State of the Union,” said U.S. health officials are examining whether people who received flu shots for the swine flu in 1976 may have some level of protection from the current swine flu.

“That’s going to play in very, very big as we move forward with our plans around vaccines, because that may help guide some of the issues around who is most at risk at getting this in the future,” Besser said.

Offering a general picture of the state of U.S. efforts to combat the virus, Besser said “there are encouraging signs.”

“We’re not out of the woods yet,” he said. “But what we’ve learned about the virus itself — it doesn’t contain the factors that we know are seen in much more severe flu strains.”

While the new virus strain in the recent outbreak has affected humans, Canadian officials said it has shown up at a pig farm in Alberta, Canada.

Officials said the pigs may have been infected by a Canadian farmer who recently returned from a trip to Mexico, the epicenter of the outbreak. The pigs have since been quarantined.

The World Health Organization says countries must not lower their guard in the response to the swine flu outbreak. It again is a global disaster for the whole world. The whole world should work together to defeat it.Be optimistic and feel ease. +u!!!

What is swine flu?

Filed under: health common sense — sportsboy @ 11:10 pm

9ico blog(Press Release)–May 03,2009.What is swine flu?It’s flu that occurs in pigs. In rare cases, humans contract swine flu from close contact with pigs. The strain circulating now is cause for concern because it can pass directly from person to person. Like routine human flu, cases of swine flu can range from mild to severe.

Is the disease the same in Mexico and the U.S.?

The virus appears to be the same. But the disease has caused at least 20 deaths in Mexico, while it has appeared more mild in the 20 confirmed U.S. cases, with no deaths and most patients recovering without needing to be hospitalized. It’s unclear why confirmed cases have been more severe in Mexico than in the U.S. A CDC official warned on Sunday that as cases continue to emerge in the U.S., some may prove fatal.

What are the symptoms?

Symptoms are similar to those of regular flu: fever, along with problems such as cough, sore throat, body aches, headaches, chills and fatigue. Some cases have also included reports of vomiting or diarrhea.

What should I do if I feel sick?

People with ordinary flu symptoms do not need to seek emergency care, New York City officials said. But people with certain warning signs in addition to basic symptoms should seek urgent attention. In children, those signs include difficulty breathing; bluish skin color; flu symptoms that begin to improve, then return with fever and worse cough; and fever with a rash. In adults, warning signs include difficulty breathing, pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen, sudden dizziness, confusion, and severe or persistent vomiting.

Can the swine flu be treated with drugs?

Two drugs, sold under the brand names Tamiflu and Relenza, are believed to reduce the severity and the duration of the disease. But most of the patients who contracted swine flu in the U.S. have recovered without taking the drugs. Both drugs have also been approved to reduce the risk of contracting the flu. But, unlike a vaccine, they do not provide long-lasting protection. So their preventive use is typically for short-term situations, such as for family members of someone who has the flu. The drugs, which are included in the federal government’s pandemic stockpile, are only available with a doctor’s prescription.

Does this year’s flu vaccine protect against the swine flu?

The CDC says the seasonal flu vaccine is “unlikely to provide protection” against the swine flu. The agency has created a “seed vaccine” specifically tailored to this swine flu. That could be used to manufacture a targeted vaccine if officials deem it necessary to do so. But manufacturing a new vaccine would take months.

Are there ways to reduce the spread of disease?

Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze. Wash your hands often. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Avoid close contact with infected people. People who have mild symptoms should stay home from school or work until 48 hours after the symptoms have passed, to avoid spreading disease, New York health officials said.

Be careful of  the swine flu.But at the same time, keep relaxed and feel ease. Take well care of yourselves and keep your cleaning well, you will be fine.Let us work together to get rid of it.
