November 1: Ukraine (UA): Situation update
source: non-english – Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko has introduced a decision of the Council of National Security and Defense Council on October 30 “On urgent measures to ensure national security in an outbreak of pandemic influenza in Ukraine.”
As UNIAN reported in the main office of information policy of the Presidential Secretariat, the solution put in place the relevant presidential decree.
In the NSDC decision indicates that the epidemic situation has gained an extremely threatening and unpredictable in nature and poses a threat to national security of Ukraine, the epidemic began in Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv regions during the period 10-12 October. The services of the Ministry of Health delayed reaction to the obvious trends and threats have failed to take necessary preventive measures to reduce threats to life and health. Real assessment of the situation was given only 27-28 October, but the appropriate response measures were not adopted.
Given the lack of willingness of the central and local executive authorities, said the NSDC, to take concerted decisions and inadequate funding of relevant activities, we can predict the further complication of the epidemiological situation, if not taken immediate effective action.
Health Ministry and local executive authorities have demonstrated a lack of willingness to treat patients. At present there is no sufficient medicines and protective equipment, causing panic among residents of the victims of areas.

November 1: Ukraine (UA): Normal life has stopped
source: non-english – The raging virus has paralyzed life in Ukraine. People have stopped contact with family and friends. They talk with relatives and friends only by phone. All now are afraid to even catch an ordinary cold.
As more and more of their relatives at home sees signs of a deadly plague. Florczukowie complain that they can not get any drugs, because everything you purchased at a pharmacy. Therefore cure homemade ways: at the moment łykają vitamin C, drink hot milk with honey and garlic.
The latest figures are striking. In Ukraine 185 thousand already sick people. Not only Ukraine is faced with a sudden wave of cases of influenza. Belarus on acute respiratory infections and flu-sick 65 thousand people and nearly a thousand in the hospitals.
The worst is in the neighboring Polish Lviv. There is suffering more than 69 thousand people, including almost 26 thousand children! In Lviv, the streets are deserted. On the usually crowded square in front of the opera in the heart of the city there is no one.
There are no customers in bars, restaurants, shops. Even in a nearby symbol of democracy – McDonald’s, where the queues are usually huge. A few passers-by go quickly to their homes. Most of them have their faces covered with masks.

The World Health Organization said Monday there was no evidence that Ukraine had a bad outbreak of swine flu but at the government's request it had sent a health team there to help the country cope.
"But this is not an indication that the situation is severe," said WHO spokeswoman Liuba Negru. "The information we have gotten (from the government), we have to double-check it and make sure it is real, evidence-based information."
