It has been a while since we heard about human H5N1 infected cased in Egypt since the month of January unfortunately the virus is back and is staying as long as domestic poultry is there and as long as people do not get rid of it.
A 4 years girl in Minya was infected by H5N1 , surely she got infected from the domestic poultry in her house and of course her immunity system made her the most vulnerable member to be infected especially with the terrible weather condition in Egypt right now .
Strangely today I read a very interesting statement for the head of the doctors' syndication famous Dr.Hamdy El-Sid who is struggling currently in order to raise the minimum salaries of the doctors in Egypt
He said that all the hospitals in Egypt do not have any emergency plan in case of H5N1 evolution in Egypt "Human to human condition" !!
It is kind of scary statement to come from a man like Dr. El-Sid .Yet you must be sure that the government this time is watching carefully the hot zones ,still they have to get rid from the dirty pigs farms and make plans for the worse scenario and to be frank with the people once in their damned life
Z...as long as it doesn't hit the big hard currency earning tourist destinations like Sharm, Hurghada, Luxor & Aswan well then I doubt the government will do much to protect the general population unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteAt least Dr. Hamdy is honest when he says they don't have the capacity to deal with an epidemic or major outbreak. Rabbina yistor!
@N.American on the contrary the gov't is scared from the outbreak in the cities in Delta and Cairo and Upper Egypt "Near Luxor" , it is not like what you think , if you check in my old posts you will know that the government is watching any evolution for the H5N1 because if this happens and we reached human to human stage, it will not the big currency that we are going to lose and they know this very good
ReplyDeletethe hopsitals in Egypt in general are facing troubles without flu
anyhow certaintly Rabbina Yistor
