Over 1 Million Sick, 50,000 Hospitalized As Mystery Flu Virus Pandemic Ravages Ukraine

Could we be witnessing the beginnings of one of the plagues of the end times? Over the past week, a mystery flu-like illness has been absolutely ravaging Ukraine. The western media has been strangely silent about this massive outbreak, but panic is sweeping not only Ukraine but also the surrounding nations. According to the latest official numbers, over 1 million people are reported to have contracted this flu-like illness, over 52,000 of them have been hospitalized, and 174 are officially dead at this point. Although there are rumors that the true death toll is substantially higher than that. A WHO team took samples from patients in Ukraine over a week ago, but at this point they have still refused to release the results of their testing to the public. This is rapidly raising concerns that the H1N1 swine flu virus may have mutated into something much more virulent in that region.

Giving fuel to those fears are reports about how patients are dying in Ukraine. Recombinomics has posted a translation from an official announcement by the Ukraine Ministry of Health that graphically describes what the virus is doing to patients in Ukraine and how the lungs of these victims are being absolutely devastated by this virus:

The symptoms are observed at different stages of disease - a fever with a temperature over 38 C, cough, respiratory disorders. When cough was characterized by negligible allocation phlegm or dry unproductive cough with blotches of blood. All the patients come to hospital on average by 3-7 days of onset, were in serious condition. Period of time from onset to death averaged from 4 to 7 days. In all patients during a hospital for signs of respiratory insufficiency of various degrees, which quickly rose and manifested accelerated respiration rate, shortness of breath and effectiveness of independent breathing. X-ray studies were performed on 1-2 day hospitalization. Most patients experienced a double-headed particles of lower lung lesion, followed by a trend towards total destruction.

Reports such as the one above, along with the fact that the WHO is still refusing to release the sequences from the samples taken from patients in Ukraine is leading Recombinomics and other observers to fear that the H1N1 swine flu virus has mutated and become much more like the 1918 Spanish flu that killed approximately 50 to 100 million people in the early part of the last century.

In fact, infectious disease expert Dr. Donald Lau says that the chance that the pandemic virus in Ukraine is exactly the same as the H1N1 virus that has been circulating around the rest of the world is very, very low: "The statistical probability of this being the same H1N1 virus are infinitesimally small."

But now there are fears that the pandemic virus in Ukraine is starting to spread to bordering nations:

-Russian Chief Public Health Official Gennady Onishchenko recently announced that most Russian regions are now on the verge of a flu epidemic.

-The Belarusian capital of Minsk has seen approximately 10 deaths from pneumonia that was preceded by flu-like symptoms just like we are seeing in Ukraine.

-A national swine flu epidemic has been declared by the Health Ministry in Bulgaria based on the fact that the number of people that have contracted the flu has reached a level of 210 per 10,000 persons.

So just what in the world is going on in Ukraine?

Has the H1N1 swine flu virus mutated?

Why are the lungs of patients in Ukraine being absolutely destroyed and being filled with blood when we aren't seeing that take place in other areas of the world?

Why is the WHO not releasing the results of their tests on patients in Ukraine?

For now there are a lot more questions than there are answers.

Hopefully the WHO will come forward with some honest answers as quickly as possible.

For now this is a situation that we all need to keep a super close eye on.
