2009 flu pandemic in Argentina
editJuly 21: Press articles cite Manzur as "officially" recognizing "163 or 165" deaths [1] throughout Argentina, however in the following days the numbers coming from the provinces quickly surpassed the 200 landmark.
July 28: Impact on health services has diminished significantly according to various specialists, though the death toll continues increasing, partly because of delay in confirmations from previous fatalities. There´s no official report by the national health ministry since 14th July, and press coverage of the situation is couriosly scarce.
July 30: Official reports from confirmed deaths from the provinces situate the death toll around 260, while Critica Digital[1] publishes an interview with Jorge Yabkowski, president of the Sindical Federation of Health Professionals of Argentina (Fesprosa), situating an estimate death from H1N1 flu above 400 (while USA is at 340), based on the false death count in Buenos Aires, where many patients may have "entered the hospitals almost dead and were not tested for H1N1".
August
editAugust 3: It´s time to return to schools in all but 3 provinces, while awaiting a possible second outbreak. The estimated cumulative number cases is more than 400,000 Argentinians[2].
August 5: A new report was released by the ministry of health[3], reporting 762,711 of ILI cases up to Aug 1st 2009, out of which more than 700,000 were of the A(H1N1) swine flu type[4]. There are 337 confirmed deaths by A(H1N1) flu, 47% of which have history of cronic desease or any other risk factor. There are around 400 deaths in the process of being confirmed. The good news is that the number of cases is decreasing in 18 of 24 provinces.
