Argentina Surpasses Mexico in Swine Flu Deaths

Deadly contagious.

Argentina has surpassed Mexico, where the novel A/H1N1″ flu virus seems to have first reared its ugly head, as the worlds second-ranked spot for flu deaths. So far the virus is responsible for 137 confirmed deaths, according to the latest data from Argentinas Health Ministry. That compares with just 134 in Mexico, according to the latest data from Mexicos Health Secretariat. Argentinas mortality rate appears to be the highest in the world, by far. As of TuesdayJuly 14th, Argentina had 3,056 confirmed swine flu cases, compared with 12,645 in Mexico. Chile, which has 9,549 confirmed cases, has just 25 confirmed deaths. In Mexico, confirmed deaths account for 1% of confirmed cases. Argentinas mortality rate truly stands out at 4.48% of total confirmed flu cases. Overall, the virus is still largely innocuous given that almost everyone who gets it, and is treated properly, recovers perfectly. Still, the 4.4% rate is alarmingly high even if Argentina is in the middle of its peak flu season, making it much harder to control the virus. Argentine President Cristina Fernández said Argentina is likely ranked second because its the one that really counts the numbers. It wasnt entirely clear exactly what she meant by this. I dont like those rankings, Fernández said.

ニュースアニメ「新型インフルエンザ、アルゼンチンの死者がメキシコ抜く」
アルゼンチン保健省は１４日、同国内での新型インフルエンザによる死者が１３７人に達したと発表した。１１日時点から４３人増加。メキシコで１３日までに確認された死者数­（１２４人）を上回り、米国に次ぐ死者数となった。冬で感染が拡大しやすい環境になっているうえ、政府の対応が遅れたとの指摘も出ている。これまでに確認された感染者は３­０５６人だが、保健省は１０万人にのぼると推計している。ブエノスアイレスの劇場は感染防止のため１６日まで１０日間の休業中。官公庁は急きょ９日から４連休を設定したほ­か、学校の冬休みも前倒しされた。政府に対しては、６月２８日に投開票した中間選挙への影響を恐れ、感染防止の取り組みが遅れたとの批判が高まっている。選挙直後には保健­相が辞任し、地元メディアは選挙対策を優先したフェルナンデス大統領と対立があったと伝えた。
