H7N9 update: Spreads to Beijing! Worse than first thought!

“It is possible that these severely ill patients represent the tip of the iceberg and that there are many more as-yet-undetected mild and asymptomatic infections.”-Human Infection with a Novel Avian-Origin Influenza A (H7N9) Virus, NEJM

A seven years old girl is now hospitalized in Beijing, with H7N9.  44 cases, 11 deaths since the end of March.

The girl developed symptoms of fever, cough, sore throat and headache on the morning 11 April.  By the evening she had been unsuccessfully treated with Tamiflu, her condition worsened and she was hospitalized.  Doctors say oxygen treatment reduced the severity of her symptoms.  Test confirmed H7N9.  Her family is involved in the poultry business.

This follows warnings from Chinese and international health officials, that H7N9 is much worse than first thought.

In a report published in NEJM researchers warned the H7N9 virus is more virulent than first thought, and they warned of global spread: “…the pandemic potential of these novel avian-origin viruses should not be underestimated……..We are concerned by the sudden emergence of these infections and the potential threat to the human population. An understanding of the source and mode of transmission of these infections, further surveillance, and appropriate counter measures are urgently required.”

  The report confirmed claims made earlier in the week by health official in Thailand, it’s new to continental Asia, and it’s never infected humans before:  “The transmission of H7 viruses to mammals has been reported only rarely in Asia. Human infections with N9 subtype viruses had not been documented anywhere in the world.”

Of interest is the first three people to die were treated with lots of anti-biotics, which is odd because anti-biotics don’t work on viruses, and “Antiviral therapy was initiated 6 to 7 days after the onset of illness.”

“North Korea will not be accepted as a nuclear power.”-John Kerry, U.S. Secretary of State

Today, the United States says it can not allow North Korea to have nukes.

Reports that on 10 April China evacuated the city of Huichen, in Jilin Provence, along the Korean border.

Local officials tried to calm things down by telling local media it was part of yearly air raid training.  250000 people were evacuated to underground bunkers!

World War 3: U.S. & China to be rulers of New Global Governance!

“….China hadn’t pulled its weight like it should…..we think the United States needs to do that too….the international governance system is facing a lot of challenges that will require these two countries to cooperate on….”-Scott Kennedy, Indiana University

On 10 April, the National Committee on United States-China Relations revealed a plan to make China and the U.S. the new rulers of the New World Order (aka Global Governance).  Notice in the above quote, the researcher doesn’t think the two countries have done enough!

Scott Kennedy of Indiana University’s Research Center for Chinese Politics and Business, and He Fan of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, presented their case at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, which can be watched in a boring hour long video by clicking here.

Essentially they said it’s time both China and the U.S. become more proactive in trying to control the political, economic and social life of humans around the World.  They encourage both to “clean up their own houses” and then “proceed with caution”.

Kennedy did mention their report had “mistakes”.

“Ministers welcomed the adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty by the United Nations General Assembly on 2 April……G8 Foreign Ministers continue their commitment to efforts that strengthen and enhance long-term sustainability, stability, safety, and security in outer space.”

“Ministers recalled the decision at the 2010 NPT Review Conference to hold a Conference on the establishment in the Middle East of a zone free of nuclear weapons…”

The G8/Trilateral Commission hypocritically pointed the WMD finger at Iran, but absolutely no mention of Israel, who already has at least 20+ nukes!

World War 3, West Asia Front: G8 +, Wars in the Middle East will not end, behind Arab Spring!

Syria: “…..reaffirmed their commitment to supporting a Syrian-led political transition, and the work of Joint UN and Arab League Special Representative Brahimi…..called for the UN Security Council to remain seized of this matter…”

Yemen: “….re-affirmed their strong support for the political transition process in Yemen, including the start of the National Dialogue Conference, as outlined in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Initiative and the UN Implementation Plan…urged all parties to comply with UNSCRs 2014 and 2051…..welcomed the generous pledges made by the Friends of Yemen….recognised the stability of Yemen remains essential for the stability of the wider region, and the maintenance of international security….advance security sector reform and ongoing efforts to counter the continued threat from AQ-AP and other violent extremists.”

Iran: “G8 Foreign Ministers expressed their deep concern regarding Iran’s continuing nuclear and ballistic missile activities….Iran has the ability to avoid further isolation and improve its situation only if it promptly addresses the concerns of the international community [meaning the Trilateral Commission, which is actually what the G8 is].”

Israel/Palestine: “Ministers expressed grave concerns about the poor state of the Palestinian economy, and the impact this has on Palestinian state-building efforts. Ministers affirmed their support for the Palestinian Authority and encouraged Arab countries, as well as emerging economies, to extend the fullest assistance possible to revitalising the Palestinian economy.”

“The Ministers welcomed the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire of 21 November 2012 which ended hostilities in Gaza and southern Israel, condemned rocket attacks in contravention of this and urged all sides to uphold their commitments.”

There was no mention of ongoing/current atrocities committed by Israel against Palestinians since the November ‘ceasefire’.  There was no mention that the zionist government of Israel is the main reason the Palestinian economy is in shambles!

Arab Spring: “The Deauville Partnership with Arab Countries in Transition has played an important role in bringing together Middle Eastern and North African countries in transition, regional partner countries, G8 members, and International Financial Institutions in an effective and pragmatic partnership to promote successful economic and political transition.”

What this means is the G8/Trilateral Commission is behind the Arab Spring, and it is nothing more than the Western Christian Financier takeover of Islamic dominated countries, because Islam does not accept western christian financial (banking) policies.

The Group of Eight are: United States, Russia, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Canada, Japan, plus European Union.

H7N9 update: Human carriers spreading the disease?

12 April 2013 (12:08 UTC-07 Tango)/01 Jumada t-Tania 1434/23 Farvardin 1391/03 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

The Beijing Municipal Health Bureau is warning residence that the H7N9 virus is being spread by humans.  They are warning that they have reason to believe people traveling from China’s east coast are carriers.

The Beijing Ditan Hospital and Beijing Youan Hospital are now designated H7N9 treatment centers.

Beijing health officials are also warning that this is the time of year when many birds migrate south, which could spread H7N9, if the birds are infected.

H7N9 update: 11 dead! 43 confirmed cases! New testing will increase reported cases!

12 April 2013 (12:00 UTC-07 Tango)/01 Jumada t-Tania 1434/23 Farvardin 1391/03 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

In their daily updates, Shanghai health officials say another person has died and two more people are sick.  Zhejiang Province reports three new cases as well.

Medical reports indicate the common symptom in the early stages of infection is fever.  Then symptoms vary from chills to coughing to muscle aches.  The final stage is pneumonia.  The average time is five to ten days from contact to the pneumonia stage.

So far no body related to the infected people have tested positive for H7N9, although several have shown symptoms then recovered on their own.  A Japanese researcher said H7N9 is not detectable until the pneumonia stage.  Yesterday, Chinese health officials distributed 160000 new test kits in hopes of detecting the virus early on.

With the new testing kits you can expect reported cases to increase.

H7N9 update: Proof it’s human caused?

12 April 2013 (20:58 UTC-07 Tango 11 April 2013)/01 Jumada t-Tania 1434/23 Farvardin 1391/03 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

Health officials have released details regarding the first three people to die from H7N9.

Fudan University’s Huashan Hospital report: The first person to die was a 52 years old woman, came down with symptoms on 27 March, sought medical help on 28 March.  Doctors put her on anti-biotics and sent her home.  A few days later she returned still sick.  Doctors then put her on intravenous anti-biotics for the next three days.  She got worse, developing pneumonia.  By this time doctors finally diagnosed her with a flu virus. They started anti-viral treatment, but amazingly, continued the anti-biotics!    She died 03 April

My comments: Not only do anti-biotics not work on viruses, they destroy your own body’s immune system.  I wouldn’t be surprised if her death was actually the result of the treatment with anti-biotics.

The woman’s husband was also sick, but tests for infections came up negative, so he was not reported has having H7N9. He recovered.

Comments from Fudan University’s Huashan Hospital doctor Yu-Mei Wen, and doctor Hans-Dieter Klenk from the University of Marburg in Germany: The next two people to die were men, one 87 years old, the other 27.  Realize the H7N9 is being called a bird flu, and tens of thousands of poultry are being exterminated out of fear.  These two men had never been around poultry.  They had been in contact with pigs, but so far all testing on pigs show negative for H7N9.  From the time the men started showing symptoms (chills, fever) to the time of severe pneumonia was five to ten days.

My comments: The details of the first three H7N9 human deaths calls into question the idea that this bird flu (which according to health officials in Thailand is new to continental Asia) ‘jumped’ from birds to humans.  Early on Japanese researchers said this new H7N9 is not detectable until the onset of pneumonia.  Also, testing done on thousands of poultry, and even wild birds in China, since the outbreak began, has only revealed a handful of infected birds.  Bird flu is known to be able to ‘jump’ to pigs more easily than to humans, yet testing done on the thousands of dead pigs that were found in the Huangpu River showed none were infected with H7N9.  Note that the first three human deaths were all in Shanghai, it looks like the famous Chinese city is ground zero for this new virus.
