春季应该是多发病时期,不但有常见的一些感冒和肠胃病,还有一些传染病,特别是一些跟动物迁徙有关的疾病,比如bird flu,禽流感,现在正在发作,全国一片紧张。相信这么严肃的态度和严格行动,很快就可以把这个禽流感的叛乱行为镇压下去。 注意到,英国的威尔士那边现在也是麻疹流行,病例已经达到588。过去几天以来增加了47例。 最近几个月的病例数目如下,过去半年内累计达到几乎600例。 相比较,以前数年的病例列图,2009年最多一年才有不到170病例: 当然,当地政府格外注意到这个趋势,估计有3800名孩子还没有免疫力,因此正在紧急进行小孩子们的免疫注射。 具体参考如下外文报道。 Swansea measles epidemic: Case numbers up to 588 The number of confirmed cases of measles in the Swansea epidemic has risen to 588, says Public Health Wales. The latest figure shows 47 new cases of the disease since Wednesday. Health officials have welcomed a rise in vaccinations but estimate 3,800 children have still not had MMR jabs. Drop-in clinics are being held at hospitals in the area on Saturday. Vaccinations will also be held in schools after pupils return after the Easter break. About 60 people are in hospital in Swansea after contracting measles, some with symptoms of pneumonia and others with dehydration. 斯旺西大约60人因为麻疹住进医院,有些出现肺炎症状,有些出现脱水。
