【新唐人2013年04月02日讯】全球首次发现人类感染H7N9禽流感病毒病例。上海及安徽3人感染，其中两人死亡，一人病危。由于至今未能查出感染来源，是否排除人传人的可能性也还不能确定，大陆很多民众感到十分恐慌，同时对政府延误公开病例，表示抗议和不满，有专家甚至怀疑这次禽流感，可能和黄浦江上漂流的死猪有关。
大陆卫生计生委员会3月31号通报说，3名感染H7N9新型禽流感病毒者，是上海市的两名男性患者，分别是87岁及27岁。他们在2月19号及2月27号发病，3月4号及3月10号死亡；另1人为安徽省滁州市的一名35岁女性，她在3月9号发病，目前病危急救中。
这3名病例，初期都出现与普通流感极为相似的发烧、咳嗽等呼吸道感染症状，随后发展为严重肺炎和呼吸困难。
大陆民众强烈关注H7N9新型禽流感病毒，一天之内，微博跟贴上百万，但有很多网民质疑，这次禽流感，是否与前段时间上海黄浦江上出现的大批死猪有关，香港传染病专家也认为，不排除这个可能，大陆当局有必要采集黄浦江死猪样本排查禽流感。
同时，官方的延误报导也备受质疑，不少百姓指责政府为了两会而隐瞒疫情、粉饰太平。
上海市民陆先生：“我们现在国家的体制，对老百姓什么事情都要隐瞒，像这种禽流感，包括原来的SARS他们都要隐瞒的，现在我们这个政府就是把老百姓给害了。有关对老百姓不利的事情，他们一概在媒体上不肯讲出来。包括我们这死猪问题。”
大陆官方宣称，之所以延误通报，是因为检测病毒类型，花费了很多时间，对此专家表示：根本不需那么长时间。
台湾动植物防疫检疫局：“如果要做病毒判定的话，其实不需要那么久，要在动物方面的话，我们做病毒检测的话可能几天，因为现在有些比较先进的技术。”
为了了解更多有关新型禽流感病毒H7N9的信息和防治，《新唐人》记者拨打了多个相关政府部门的电话，并以公民的身份进行咨询，结果大陆国家疾控中心、上海疾控中心多无人接听，有的卫生部门则表示：没有得到相关通知。
北京市卫生局热线：“我们这现在还没有最新的禽流感的疫情信息，现在还没有得到通知。”
北京市卫生局热线2：“这次北京这边还没有这方面报导这种疫情，应该禽流感的话都是之前的那种，现在没有报导有新型的禽流感。”
随后，记者又拨打了上海几家著名传染病医院进行咨询，得到的答复多是“我们不清楚”。甚至一家医院反问“我们没有接到禽流感病人，怎么会知道这种病毒？”
但是，官方对外声称“已部署各级医疗卫生机构加强检测”、“各级政府卫生部门已采取一系列相应行动和措施”，显然与实际不符。
相反的，港、台政府对新型禽流感病毒给予了高度关注。
台湾卫生署疾病管制局：“目前据我们这边所知的，三个人感染都是因为有接触到禽鸟类。0355所以就是人接触到禽鸟类的排泄物或粪便，然后会感染的。”
香港卫生防护中心透露，上海27岁的死亡病患生前是猪肉摊贩，安徽35岁女患者在发病前有禽类接触史。
台湾疾管局和防疫局还提醒大陆民众，应避免接触禽鸟类，如需接触要带口罩。一定要多注意个人卫生，最好经常用消毒液洗手。食用禽类、蛋类时要完全煮熟，以避免感染禽流感。

Hong Kong And Taiwan Governments Worried About Bird Flu
Recently, human infection with the H7N9 avian
influenza virus was discovered for the first time.
Three people from Shangahi City and Anhui Province
were infected.
Two of them died, and one is in critical condition.
So far, the source of this illness is unknown.
Human to human transmission cannot be ruled out.
Many people in Mainland China are panicking and protesting
against the government’s reluctance to report the cases.
Some experts question whether dead pigs drifting on the
Huangpu River might be related the outbreak of the bird flu.
On March 31st the Mainland Health Committee reported that
three people were infected with the H7N9 bird flu virus.
They were both male, 87 and 27 years of age.
They were infected on February 19th and February 27th.
One died on March 4th and the other on March 10th.
A female patient, 35, from Anhui Province was infected
on March 9th. She is in critical condition.
These three cases have the same symptoms; fever, cough
and other respiratory symptoms of common flu at the start.
Then followed by the development of severe pneumonia
and breathing difficulties.
People from the Mainland are very concerned about
the new type of H7N9 avian influenza virus.
Within a day, there were more than one million microblogs.
Many netizens wonder if the bird flu has anything
to do with dead pigs drifting on the Huangpu River.
Hong Kong Experts also believe that Chinese authorities
must collect dead pig samples to rule out the possibility.
At the same time, the officials’ delayed reports
were questioned.
Many people accused the government of hiding the epidemic
for “two sessions”, and aiming at window-dressing.
Mr. Luk from Shanghai: “This is our national system, which
conceals everything from the people, like bird flu and SARS.
That’s how our government hurts us, the ordinary citizens.
The media refuse to inform us of anything that is harmful,
including our dead-pig issue.”
Mainland officials claimed the reason for delay in notification,
was due to the time consuming process in detecting the virus.
Experts retorted that was not true.
Taiwan Animal and Plant Health Inspection Quarantine
Bureau: “To determine pathogens, it does not take long.
With more advanced technology, it would take us
only a few days to detect virus in animals.“
To understand more about the new virus H7N9, NTDTV
reporter called as an ordinary citizen to many government
departments to inquire about further information.
It turned out that Mainland National CDC and Shanghai CDC
had no one answered incoming calls.
Some health departments claimed that
they did not receive any inquires.
Beijing Municipal Health Bureau Hotline: “So far we have not
received the latest information about avian influenza outbreak,
and we have not been notified.”
The Beijing Municipal Health Bureau hotline:
”We do not have reports regarding this epidemic.
What we have is information of the old bird flu,
but not the new type.”
Subsequently, the reporter called several well-known
infectious disease hospital in Shanghai for consultation.
He was told, “We are not clear about that.”
One hospital even asked, “We don’t have any avian flu
patients, how would we know what kind of virus that is?”
However, the officials claimed they have deployed all levels
of health care institutions to enhance detection of this illness.
Government health departments at all levels
have taken a series of actions and measures.
That is clearly inconsistent with reality.
On the contrary, Hong Kong and Taiwan governments
have paid great attention to the new avian flu virus.
Taiwan’s Department of Health, Centers for Disease Control:
“According to our knowledge, three people infected were exposed to birds.
So when people come into contact with excreta or
droppings of the birds, they become infected."
The Hong Kong Centre for Health Protection said the death of
the 27-year-old patient from Shanghai was a pork vendor.
The 35-year-old female patient from Anhui also has history of
exposure to poultry before the onset of her illness.
Taiwan Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of
Disease Board put out a reminder to people in the Mainland;
Stay away from birds or wear a mask, wash hands frequently
with disinfectant, pay attention to personal hygiene,
and only consume fully-cooked poultry and
eggs to avoid infection with avian influenza.
