It has been just over a month since the first death of the Mexican flu 2009 began killing and spreading around the world. The WHO has categorized it as a Pandemic but yet the world does not want to over react.
A good example of an inconsistent policy maker is the mayor of New York City. Mr. Bloomberg went from closing schools to calling the Mexican a nuisance to once again this past week he is closing schools. I understand do not worry about anything, just don’t go to school or you may die.
The WHO annual meeting is stating today May 18, and Dr. Margret Chan will recommend that a vaccine be produced to fight off this new and deadly strain of the flu. But first many things must be decided like how much to make and who should receive the vaccine and where it should be distributed. I understand that these decisions are necessary before the 5 to 6 month process of creating a new vaccine should even starts
At last report there are over 8,480 people that have been infected in 39 countries with 75 deaths. The death toll in Mexico has been downsized since many of the earlier reported deaths are unconfirmed because the family members buried their dead without test out of fear.
One good thing has happened; China and Taiwan are willing to cooperate to help stop the spread of the flu virus in their countries. If the rest of the world can work together, this pandemic will not kill off a generation of young people. 200,000 deaths occurred in one month during the 1918 pandemic and it could happen again.
I just do not understand the WHO’s delay in the start of the manufacturing of the vaccine. The excuses for not starting it has to do with what to do with the vaccine once it is made not that it should be made. With a 5 to 6 month process, this should have already started. It will be November before any is ready for distribution but politics has stood in front of the welfare of people once again and this just might give the Mexican Flu 2009 the time it needs to kill more efficiently.
