The news in the U.S. still is trying to push the Swine Flu as the next huge threat to humanity (no, not buying it yet) but it seems where people need to be paying attention is the Ukraine. As a sudden flu outbreak has taken place so has a round of viral pneumonia.
How bad is it in the Ukraine? Not sure exactly as I have no contacts there but it looks like the entire country is going to be quarantined. To me the numbers do not seem dire which would make me wonder what else is going on? Is this the swine flu going around or is this a new mutant strain?
Also, the Ukrainian government is worried about national security:
“The threat weighing on Ukraine’s national security which we cannot fight alone forces me to ask our close friends and strategic partners for urgent help,” Yushchenko wrote.
I wonder if President Yushchenko worried that a massive, country wide, outbreak will lead to his country being militarily vulnerable to attack…
