醫(yī)學(xué)：H1N1流感

Mexico says it’s winning the war against the H1N1 virus, President Phillipe Calderon says, aggressive government action helped get a grip on the outbreak, hundreds of patients showing symptoms are being treated in isolation units, but, the health minister says the number of new cases is declining so the shut down of Mexico City may ease soon, businesses there have lost $100 million a day by some estimates. Officials may also reopen schools across the country, but the government says it’s going to be cautious. World Health officials are stressing that you cannot get H1N1 from eating pork, but that isn’t stopping Egypt from killing all the country’s pigs, that’s lead to clashes between police and pig farmers. Farmers in Cairo battled Government forces with stones and bottles. There were several injuries and more than a dozen arrests. Egypt is a mostly Muslim country and most of the people there, therefore consider Pigs unclean. The number of confirmed cases in the U.S. has jumped, but officials say, that’s from catching up on a backlog of lab tests, the count now stands at 226, with confirmed cases in 30 states.
