Talked to my Ukrainian girlfriend. She said the epidemic reminds her of the movie "I am legend"
The situation in Ukraine is rather serious, especially in its Western part. According to the latest estimations, there are 70 persons, who caught this swine flu and there is one nurse, who has died. Living in Kyiv, I obsere the real panic - a lot of people wear protective masks (but there is still lack of them in drug store). The quiuis in drug store - has become a typical thing for capital of Ukraine. There is no available anti-flu medicines left on the shelves of drug stores. To my opinion, there is more panic, than reality...But still the situation is serious, cause our government was unready to struggle against H1N1. Yesterday (2 November) Ukraine has received medicines (Tamiflu) from Switzerland. Now this medicine is aailable for free in hospitals. We really hope, that everything will stabilize within couple of weeks.
Our Yulia has her mask on.........

Number of H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemy cases grows (already more than 30,000 deaths worldwide) and you or one of your family could have this fatal disease. If you want to protect yourself and your family, friends, colleagues -
only Tamiflu is effective now.
Please, send this to all who you know, stop Swine Flu H1N1 epidemy now. Tamiflu (Roche) is an antiviral medication for flu prevention and treatment in adults and children aged 1 year and older.
Tamiflu is recommended for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with swine influenza viruses.
Where is the press on this??? This is terrible!
Politicians in Ukraine are making the chaos worse because they're all using the swine flu for their electroal purposes, soon there will be elections so they make it worse then it really is and blame all the others except themselves

Ukraine shuts schools, halts campaign over H1N1
(Reuters)
31 October 2009,
KIEV - Ukraine closed schools and banned public meetings including election rallies and restricted travel on Friday for a three-week period after confirming its first death from H1N1 flu.
Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko announced the measures, saying the virus had reached epidemic levels in three parts of western Ukraine, where there has been an outbreak of respiratory illness since mid-October.
The epidemic coincides with the start of campaigning for a presidential election on Jan. 17. Tymoshenko, herself a front-runner, said the emergency would affect campaign rallies.
“All our pre-election events have been cancelled. They will not be held until the situation has stabilised,” she said in a televised statement.
President Viktor Yushchenko, a bitter rival of Tymoshenko’s, himself called off a public meeting in Kiev where he had been due to roll out his election programme.
He told journalists that 11 people had died of H1N1, also called swine flu, contradicting a Health Ministry report of only one death. An aide and a ministry official said Yushchenko may have made a mistake.
The government allotted 500 million hryvnias ($63 million) for medical supplies to fight the virus, agencies said.
Yushchenko said Ukraine, already suffering the effects of a severe economic downturn, would turn to international institutions and foreign partners for help if the situation developed beyond Ukraine’s capacity to handle it.
School holiday
“All educational institutions without exception ... will be put on a three-week holiday period,” Tymoshenko said. She indicated this could be extended if necessary.
“Apart from this, we will cancel all mass meetings ... for three weeks,” she told an emergency government session. “We will introduce a special system to stop unnecessary travel from one region to another.”
She said Ukraine was in touch with international football authorities to discuss whether the measures would have any effect on two international fixtures scheduled for November.
Ukraine is scheduled to host a UEFA Champions’ League soccer clash between Dynamo Kiev and Inter Milan on Nov. 4 and a World Cup qualifying play-off between Ukraine and Greece on Nov. 18.
“We are considering (imposing) a quarantine not only in the west but also across the country, because the virus is spreading very fast,” Health Minister Vasyl Knyazevych told reporters.
In Lviv, the main town in one of the affected regions and normally bustling on a Friday, there were significantly fewer people on the streets. Those who were wore handkerchiefs and scarves across the lower part of their faces.
“There is nothing in the pharmacies. What can I say? There is no medicine at all?” said one woman, Maria Shalyazhinska, queuing outside a pharmacy.
“How come nobody knew this epidemic was coming? Children are sick. The elderly are sick. There are no masks. People are queuing and waiting for supplies to come but nobody knows if they will come or not
