1 Is could do tests here Mexico? Yes and no. Yes, because the knowledge about the technology used is in common use among Mexican scientists from 20 years ago. In fact for this kind of evidence there are two laboratories with the highest requirements considered by the WHO. No. Because the reference strains have only retained the CDC and a case of a pregnant patient who died in 1978. Where the Canadians pulled out, so if you do not know at the moment. Perhaps an exchange of samples. However, by population size, economic resources and Mexico should have many more scientists, not only in this area, many others. Ten thousand scientific grade doctor is nothing. To see if this means those distributing the budget each year.
2 What do I say that the authorities acted quickly when it took two or three weeks to declare the alert? Well I say that it acted quickly. I ask, what if 6 months ago they had been told that the secretary of health and the government were to enact general epidemiological alert, ride a molecular identification tests days (capacity 10 times greater than the lab in Canada), logistics have to apply 1 million treatments, half a million vaccines and collect national information and coordinate with WHO, CDC, etc would have believed? The account is the St Jordi day here, not before. Imagine, one day a case of Oaxaca, one in DF then two in St. Louis. It's a puzzle and the data arrives at a trickle and change every day. Those who have done fieldwork of some kind in this country know how difficult to collect data and access to communities like the famous and immortal child. Actually I would focus my criticism of SEDESOL, Finance and Ministry of Labor. But that is for social scientists.
3 And then the cases of March? Context, in Mexico die each year about 40 thousand people from respiratory problems, more or less the same as in USA. If only it represents three times more because our population is one third of the United States. Many people die in our country of respiratory problems. Of these deaths are a large number of influenza. In March, seasonal influenza outbreaks detected, which were out of season. It's another strain. Were treated and sampled for molecular epidemiological studies and reference. When the first deaths and more outbreaks in April, these and other samples sent to CDC who puts them in line. For we ask that support Ontario and 36 hours gives the result. It is April 23. More context, one Chihuahua is about the size of Italy and the total Mexican territory is 4 times that of Spain. Yet the love I have for both countries and know a little health systems, I doubt they would have done faster. In the EU, only Germany, France and England, perhaps. North Norway or Sweden, but both have a population as the Iztapalapa and Ciudad Neza. "Canada? Chance. Africa. What is Africa? South Africa can not cope with HIV / AIDS that evolves over the years. Cuba is possible to react faster. The downside is that insurance also have sent samples to CDC. Do you realize that countries could have done as well or better?
4 But surely the Americans would have done faster. Maybe have the capacity, but in fact did not. With data on Thursday morning (just in New York 51 confirmed cases) is possible to assume that since there were cases for weeks and not detected. 5 Does
cumbia influenza is a good example of the creativity of the Mexican? NO
6 Why is that now there is less dead than before? Not having the ability to discriminate mounted cases with H1N1 molecular shape, it was decided to consider as such those who had the symptoms. With this approach has been more than 2000 cases. Are the suspects. Very ad hoc the term. As pears or apples are needed to make decisions. The 159 dead Famous last two days were all this together. In making the test only 7 were influenza virus. (There are now eight dead this morning)
7 What the hell is why the CDC and ask them for help? For several reasons, one formal lab is that it is our part as a reference in accordance with WHO. The reality is that the CDC is the largest center for the collection and investigation of samples from strains of pathogens in the world. Neither the Chinese nor the European Union. If YOU WANT to know about a virus that struck an African village in 1969, look no sample in Africa, safety is in Atlanta at the CDC.
8 Should we have a CDC? If clear, and also a NASA. And no joke, we should according to our capabilities far exceed our current infrastructure. However, the Indre, and Epidemiology are global, that is really young and only about epidemics size does matter. Today we will see how they work. The samples are now in charge.
9 And no, orgies are not recommended even with masks
10 Why there is a profile of those infected? Until they are confirmed with the molecular test is statistically irrelevant to know the data from a sample of 8. "5 men and 3 women? What does that tell us? No, wait
We
Does tomorrow May 6 will turn all to normal? Go figure. We hope so, do not you think? And yes, use the masks. We know that viruses are thousands of times more small. But I insist, is through saliva.
