Influenza A(H1N1): Deadly Hurricane in the Financial Tsunami

Source: Science Daily influenza virus has never gone away, it is constantly changing.
compared to the 1918 pandemic, which was remembered as a year, 2009 is not a distant year, but memories of influenza A(H1N1), better known as swine flu, seem to be blurred.
yes, today's flu is seen as a common flu.
in fact, it was also in the first day of the outbreak.
since March and April of that year in the United States and other places, Canada, Britain, France and other countries have been swept by the virus, AFP called the "killer", the Associated Press said it is a "fatal strange disease" ... Within 10 days, the virus spread to 23 countries and regions on four continents.
the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dropped the count of cases in June of that year and raised the outbreak to a maximum of 6 because of the high number of infections.
humans seem to smell the 1918 pandemic again.
it was not until August 10, 2010 that the World Health Organization declared the pandemic an end. The spread of the pandemic has been around the world for more than a year, with more than 200 countries and regions affected and more than 18,000 deaths, according to the
group.
in fact, the number of deaths is much higher than that due to factors such as the inability to count.
"prevention and control" and "out of control" line in late March 2009, a new influenza virus outbreak in North America. on April 15,
, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discovered a new type of influenza A virus in a sample sent by a 10-year-old child in California.
unlike most influenza strains, which usually only cause serious illness in children, the elderly and people with low immunity, the H1N1 influenza virus mainly attacks young and healthy adults, and the incubation period can also cause infection, which is more difficult to prevent and control.
confirmed deaths are mainly young people aged 25-45, and the symptoms of critical multiple disease patients and deaths, patients in the incubation period after infection hidden infection rate is high.
the first person to die from the virus in the United States was a child under the age of two.
this has attracted widespread attention in the American public.
the number of people wearing masks has increased significantly in Sacramento, Texas. Tom Nelson, who runs a pharmacy
, said that as soon as it opened that morning, four boxes of 20 masks were quickly snapped up and "the store had to arrange for four people to get busy."
and in the last two days, they sold fewer than 30 masks.
how does the U.S. government respond? Cases were detected, the World Health Organization was reported, vaccines were developed, a public health emergency was declared in the United States... And then, there's no.
in accordance with the U.S. Response Act, the process is gone, the right thing to do, we wait.
wait for the American people to adapt to the virus, and so the vaccine development success, and so the virus itself disappeared.
no closure, no "no-foot", no stop, no suspension, no extended vacation, the people of the United States should do what, fear of death don't go out, infected on the hospital.
no one knows how many people have been infected and how many people have died in the U.S. in this pandemic.
the only available data is that in 2011, the CDC used models to estimate that from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, there were 60.8 million infections, 274,000 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths in the United States.
a series of "Buddhist" operations in the United States, leading to the rapid spread of influenza A(H1N1) virus to the world.
at the time, most countries around the world were actively preventing and controlling the outbreak, while U.S. airports and borders were not "guarded": there were little or no additional checks on influenza A. The first confirmed case in
Chinese mainland was also from Chinese students from the United States.
the then acting director of the CENTERs for Disease Control and Prevention, Besser, believes that the initial detection and detection of the virus in the United States is not timely, is an indisputable fact.
a country that is out of control and the world suffers.
a 2012 study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, based on modelling, the H1N1 flu could cause about 151,700 to 575,500 deaths between April 2009 and August 2010, about eight times as many as 31 times the number of deaths reported by the World Health Organization.
global panic: the superfluous financial crisis is even more unfortunate, the H1N1 flu hurricane, hit the ravages of the financial tsunami, leaving the already fragile global economy teetering.
with the collapse of Lehman, the subprime crisis that began on Wall Street turned into a financial tsunami and spread deep to the world.
, the worst financial tsunami since the Great Depression of 1929 sent the global economy into turmoil.
the world changed its mind in the wake of the financial tsunami.
"Wall Street myth" with the transformation of Goldman Sachs and Damore, the global economy also plunged into the deepest recession since world war II, the global stock market crash, Brazil, Germany, India, Japan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the United Kingdom were hit hard, Iceland and other countries are on the verge of bankruptcy.
China has not been spared: exports have fallen sharply and economic growth has fallen sharply.
the closure of two factories in the hey-bean group, one of the world's largest toy-making industries, and the loss of about 6,500 jobs, the first and tip of the iceberg in the wake of the u.S. financial crisis that has affected China's real-world real-world business.
a major Japanese securities firm, based on an investigation, estimated that the global financial crisis caused by the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis could cause losses of up to $5.8 trillion, far more than the International Monetary Fund and other estimates announced.
H1N1 flu has plunged the world economy, which was struggling to climb in the shadow of the global financial crisis.
aviation, tourism and other industries suffered another heavy blow, Asia-Pacific stock markets have fallen.
just as countries are taking steps to deal with the flu epidemic, the international monetary fund and the World Bank meet in Washington, D.C., at their annual spring meeting, the theme of dealing with the international financial crisis.
flu superimposed financial crisis, panic hangs over the world.
many economists worry that, given the fragility of the U.S. and global economies, another severe shock could upend any progress made in easing the recession.
a 2008 World Bank report predicted that if a global flu outbreak occurred, the world would "pay for" $3 trillion, followed by a contraction of nearly 5 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) in all countries.
unfortunately, only a year later, that prediction became a reality.
H1N1 flu also has a severe impact on China.
the number of people infected in China exceeded 120,000, more than 600 people died, the central government allocated 5 billion yuan of special funds, local governments have set aside special funds to fight the flu.
look back now, tragically.
who would be responsible for these tragedies? How do you calculate this bill? What astronomical numbers would countries on the brink of bankruptcy in the financial tsunami, battered economies, unemployed individuals, people who lost loved ones because of influenza A(H1N1), countries that have paid a heavy price to fight the disease? In fact, no one did so than to blame.
people with a little common sense know that viruses have no borders and are common enemies of mankind.
but there is always a small number of people with ulterior motives.
when the virus attacks humans indiscriminately without any position, these people use it as a tool to attack a country or some one.
the damage of such attacks is more than the virus itself.
and such attacks are usually used under the guise of science, in the form of virus esnames and traces.
therefore, whenever a new infectious disease appears, there is always a lot of talk about its origin. The same is true
the outbreak of influenza A(H1N1).
some say the flu virus is from pigs, some say there is no evidence to support this conclusion, and even more believe that the H1N1 influenza virus is leaked from the laboratory.
began, it was found that many of the virus's genomes were similar to those of influenza viruses that typically occur in pigs in North America.
first called swine flu.
haste, in some countries, pigs have fallen victim.
with no flu cases in Egypt, local health authorities are planning to kill 300,000 pigs raised in the country.
this provoked an outcry from animal activists and Egypt's non-Muslim communities.
the World Organization for Animal Health also questioned the name, suggesting a "North American flu" and others suggesting "Mexican flu".
April 30, 2019, the World Health Organization announced that from that date, the organization will no longer use the term swine flu to refer to the outbreak, and began to use the word "A (H1N1) influenza", the Ministry of Health also issued a statement on the same day, swine flu will be changed to influenza A H1N1.
" is really hard to name diseases and viruses.
WHO always tries to avoid any form of harm to anyone, to avoid any form of panic, and to make the disease and virus esccothetly referred to by the public.
," said Thomas Abraham, WHO's spokesman at the time. Michael Ryan, head of the
WHO's Health Emergency Program, recently reiterated this purpose: "The virus has no borders, it does not affect people of race, colour, wealth, so it should be avoided to link the virus to certain people, the 2009 influenza A H1N1 pandemic began in North America, but people do not call it 'North American influenza'."
" is inextricably linked to naming the source of the retroactive virus.
since the first reported case of influenza A(H1N1) came from Mexico, where pig farms were initially the focus.
, Kira Ulrich, a spokeswoman for Smithfield, the pig farm's owner, said no virus had been found in pigs at the pig farm and staff had not shown symptoms of influenza A(H1N1).
in May 2009, the Washington Post said in an article entitled "Investigating the H1N1 virus" that as early as March 30, a 10-year-old boy in Santiago County, California, which is connected to mexico's mountains and waters, had been treated for medical treatment, the first case of influenza A(H1N1) detected in the United States, at a time when the outbreak in Mexico had not yet occurred. Scott, a spokesman for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at the
, said the source of the virus is not ruled out in California.
war of words does n'etre, the answer to the source of the virus can only be given by science.
Scientists around the world began studying the origin of the virus after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released eight chromosomal gene sequences for the A(H1N1) virus.
scientists have found that the H1N1 influenza virus is a complex recombination of four viruses from birds, humans and pigs (both).
two of its genetic fragments are suspected to have come from the Eurasian swine flu virus, while the other six are from the North American swine flu virus that emerged in 1998.
, therefore, some analysis, although the influenza A H1N1 virus was first prevalent in Mexico, but it is likely to first appear in the United States in a pig farm, but did not attract attention at the outset.
, as UnSecretary-General Guterres has said, the virus knows no borders.
where the virus comes from depends on scientific answers, and the answer to this question is to better understand the virus and deal with it, which is a scientific question, not a so-called "chip" of blame or claims.
, by contrast, the more realistic consideration is how humans can work together in the face of the virus.
facing influenza A(H1N1), no one cares about claims, no one accuses some countries of poor prevention and control, but to work together to fight the virus.
it's one of the most important revelations that will later be thought to have been left to humanity by the 2009 flu fight.
