【新唐人2013年04月02日訊】全球首次發現人類感染H7N9禽流感病毒病例。上海及安徽3人感染，其中兩人死亡，一人病危。由於至今未能查出感染來源，是否排除人傳人的可能性也還不能確定，大陸很多民眾感到十分恐慌，同時對政府延誤公開病例，表示抗議和不滿，有專家甚至懷疑這次禽流感，可能和黃浦江上漂流的死豬有關。
大陸衛生計生委員會3月31號通報說，3名感染H7N9新型禽流感病毒者，是上海市的兩名男性患者，分別是87歲及27歲。他們在2月19號及2月27號發病，3月4號及3月10號死亡；另1人為安徽省滁州市的一名35歲女性，她在3月9號發病，目前病危急救中。
這3名病例，初期都出現與普通流感極為相似的發燒、咳嗽等呼吸道感染症狀，隨後發展為嚴重肺炎和呼吸困難。
大陸民眾強烈關注H7N9新型禽流感病毒，一天之內，微博跟貼上百萬，但有很多網民質疑，這次禽流感，是否與前段時間上海黃浦江上出現的大批死豬有關，香港傳染病專家也認為，不排除這個可能，大陸當局有必要採集黃浦江死豬樣本排查禽流感。
同時，官方的延誤報導也備受質疑，不少百姓指責政府為了兩會而隱瞞疫情、粉飾太平。
上海市民陸先生：「我們現在國家的體制，對老百姓甚麼事情都要隱瞞，像這種禽流感，包括原來的SARS他們都要隱瞞的，現在我們這個政府就是把老百姓給害了。有關對老百姓不利的事情，他們一概在媒體上不肯講出來。包括我們這死豬問題。」
大陸官方宣稱，之所以延誤通報，是因為檢測病毒類型，花費了很多時間，對此專家表示：根本不需那麼長時間。
台灣動植物防疫檢疫局：「如果要做病毒判定的話，其實不需要那麼久，要在動物方面的話，我們做病毒檢測的話可能幾天，因為現在有些比較先進的技術。」
為了了解更多有關新型禽流感病毒H7N9的信息和防治，《新唐人》記者撥打了多個相關政府部門的電話，並以公民的身份進行諮詢，結果大陸國家疾控中心、上海疾控中心多無人接聽，有的衛生部門則表示：沒有得到相關通知。
北京市衛生局熱線：「我們這現在還沒有最新的禽流感的疫情信息，現在還沒有得到通知。」
北京市衛生局熱線2：「這次北京這邊還沒有這方面報導這種疫情，應該禽流感的話都是之前的那種，現在沒有報導有新型的禽流感。」
隨後，記者又撥打了上海幾家著名傳染病醫院進行諮詢，得到的答復多是「我們不清楚」。甚至一家醫院反問「我們沒有接到禽流感病人，怎麼會知道這種病毒？」
但是，官方對外聲稱「已部署各級醫療衛生機構加強檢測」、「各級政府衛生部門已採取一系列相應行動和措施」，顯然與實際不符。
相反的，港、臺政府對新型禽流感病毒給予了高度關注。
台灣衛生署疾病管制局：「目前據我們這邊所知的，三個人感染都是因為有接觸到禽鳥類。0355所以就是人接觸到禽鳥類的排泄物或糞便，然後會感染的。」
香港衛生防護中心透露，上海27歲的死亡病患生前是豬肉攤販，安徽35歲女患者在發病前有禽類接觸史。
台灣疾管局和防疫局還提醒大陸民眾，應避免接觸禽鳥類，如需接觸要帶口罩。一定要多注意個人衛生，最好經常用消毒液洗手。食用禽類、蛋類時要完全煮熟，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.
