豚インフルエンザ情報

I’m a specialist doctor in respiratory diseases and intensive care at the Mexican National Institute of Health. There is a severe emergency over the swine flu here. More and more patients are being admitted to the intensive care unit. Despite the heroic efforts of all staff (doctors, nurses, specialists, etc) patients continue to inevitably die. The truth is that anti-viral treatments and vaccines are not expected to have any effect, even at high doses. It is a great fear among the staff. The infection risk is very high among the doctors and health staff.

There is a sense of chaos in the other hospitals and we do not know what to do. Staff are starting to leave and many are opting to retire or apply for holidays. The truth is that mortality is even higher than what is being reported by the authorities, at least in the hospital where I work it. It is killing three to four patients daily, and it has been going on for more than three weeks. It is a shame and there is great fear here. Increasingly younger patients aged 20 to 30 years are dying before our helpless eyes and there is great sadness among health professionals here.

下線したように、タミフルが効かない可能性があります。
ご心配な方は、まずは保健所に電話して下さい。

パンデミックを警戒しますが、出入国管理の杜撰さに腹が立ちます。何でも検査は任意だから、とのこと。こういった場合もこの国の危機管理はほとんど機能しませんね。主権国家の意識がほとんど欠如している。しかし豚からとは。鳥ばかりに気を取られている間に、人-人感染型に変異しているとは・・・。

追記：WHOは豚インフルの閉じ込めは不可能と判断し、渡航制限は見送り。パンデミックの可能性を示唆し、警戒水準をフェイズ4（人から人への感染が増加する証拠がある）に引き上げた（→記事）。株価もインフルエンザ関連が上げております。電車でもマスク着用の人が増えてきました。
