In last 24 hours, an unknown virus (presumed pneumonic plague) infected another 37 thousand and killed 12 more people. The authorities deny that this is pneumonic plague, and insist that people die from influenza, pneumonia and ARI.
Meanwhile, an emergency message from the President of Ukraine to the international community to immediately help in the fight against the virus, only reinforces the suspicion that pneumonia and influenza is not the cause.
"The current threat to national security of Ukraine, which we can not offset on our own, requires me to turn to our closest friends and strategic partners for emergency aid", - Yushchenko said in an appeal to the leaders of Belarus, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia Slovakia, USA, and EU Commission President and Secretary General of NATO.
According to the operative data of the Ministry of Health on 1 November, recorded through out the country more than 191 thousand patients with unknown disease of lungs. Of these, 83 thousand are children. Total number deaths recorded - 60, 123 people are dying.
Day before, on October 31, according to Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, 154 200 people fell ill, according to official data, 48 patients died, including two children.
Authorities officially called the disease "swine flu", "California flu", "SARS","pneumonia", but doctors say on the basis of clinical data and the rapidity of the epidemic, that it is pneumonic plague.
Many Ukrainians believe that Ukraine has been infected with pneumonic plague by Russian terrorist organization, the FSB of Russia, using bacteriological weapons to destabilize the situation necessary for the armed aggression of Russia against Ukraine.
According to unofficial information, the death rate in Ukraine from the alleged pneumonic plague is higher than officially announced.
According to unofficial data, "in Ukraine over the past week about 1500 people have already died. As noted by some doctors, the reason - pneumonic plague. High temperatures from the first day, a burning sensation in the chest, the desire to drink cold and nausea - all of these symptoms are frightening. People die within few days.
On the other hand, Ukrainian media reported that the virus is rapidly spreading in Ukraine and has already reached Odessa:
"1 woman died in the area of Odessa. Swine influenza has not been confirmed, most likely pneumonic plague was the cause.
Odessa and the region is already infected, most likely, is mutated pneumonic plague ", - said one of the doctors of private clinics in Odessa.
"The panic that spreads through the city, is so great that people are willing to sit at home even on just bread and water. Lack of gauze dressings in the city and surrounding areas - is just the beginning, and there is no elementary necessary ascorbic acid and inhalers.
Meanwhile, the first officially recorded death is because of pneumonic plague, and believe me in reality the are much more, "- says the Odessa physician.
All the doctors throughout Ukraine say that this is pneumonic plague.
"I have met with friends from the western Ukraine, the doctors say that the lungs of the dead were black. And that, perhaps this is not influenza but pneumonic plague. Well, if this is indeed a plague, then the news won't mention it for now, and certainly - it's 100% death (according to the U.S. for 1950-1994 - 41%, but the American health care, of course, not Ukrainian, and American doctors knew that they are dealing with a plague - KC).
With each passing day the picture becomes more and more dire, bloggers wrote and continued:
"The number of deaths is understated. The practice of health care service - to respond to anything after a really big problem. And "big" - far not 60 - as reported to the authorities at the moment.
All the actions talk about a really serious problem that the government is facing. The atmosphere in general - I recalled the early days of the Chernobyl accident - were the same "movement", and secrecy on the part of officials.
The regional center: converted the place to fit 200 beds, tripled the personnel of Precinct Therapeutic Services for special situation of contagious diseases (on materials of live broadcast 'Medchinovnika').
Amen to that!
Those poor people, my heart goes out to them.
Prayers going up!
Not only do the fleas live through the winter, they usually weigh over a pound.
Chernobyl?
Ping to Cindy...
The source of this plague article is questionable, as is the veracity of the information. It appears to be a jihadist web site for the Caucasus region. Elsewhere in the site is an appeal to students to join the jihad.

You are correct sir. It is possible there may be some antibiotic that could be helpful. Apparently large doses of vitamin c and fluids could help as they mentioned vitamin C being in short supply.
Thanks for the ping 1Counter-Morter-68.

I also went to youtube where much of this is being reported from the area...
Pneumonic plague is transmitted only by air. So coughing and sneezing spread it. The droplets get into the lungs and it’s pneumonic. If you get it on the skin it’s bubonic and you get the charateristic pustules and swollen lymph nodes.
I find the report from Russia today to be the most reliable and even that one needs to suspect, but if the Russians decided to ethnic cleanse the Ukraine what better time than now with wimp wristed ass kissing apologetic Obama in charge. I mean whats he going to do? It would take him 3 or 4 years to decide. God help us if they ever come to him and ask him what to do if they started launching missiles at us.

Well, I looked around at the news.

There are 3 types of flu spreading (including H1N1.
Now, here is a bit of an update here:

“I’m always suspicious of any of these stories coming out of these crack-pot leaders of what are really 3rd world countries. It may just be his excuse to declare martial law.”
Elections are coming up in January in the Ukraine. Read the wacky President’s screed above. He’s running panic central.
