[quote:ladyannie2009:MV8yNDM4MTM4XzQxOTM1OTYwX0FDQjFBMkRE] here are 2 of the sites that i'm using to monitor the situation. this first one is far from scientific.... as it's just people tweeting their own illnesses/symptoms. Obviously not everyone who is sick is being recorded & charted. however, in the past few days..... there's been HUGE jumps with the reports also - if you click on the individual tabs - many of the tweeters are offering details/additional info of their immediate area - information that never may 'make' the news at the link on the right side - you can click certain illnesses and/or areas to get updates. Sorta cool to monitor your own county/state. Just so you know what's going on http://www.germtrax.com/Map.aspx ------ I've shared this link several times..... but it's worth repeating. By monitoring the site.... you can use the information to do more complete searches. Again - most of this is only being reported by local news media. I haven't seen national news picking it up even close to the level that I think they should. All I keep hearing is vaccinate....vaccinate.....vaccinate.... hmmmm..... http://www.healthmap.org/en/ suggestion: take a screen shot of your county/state so you can see changes over time. Very dramatic to have that recorded to share later. :thumbs: [/quote]
Original Message
I was contributing to another thread (linked below) on the Madagascar pneumonic plague epidemic. It appears that this is really starting to spread.
There are many reported cases in/around Peru - one of which was a doctor who became infected after he was treating plague patients. It is unknown how many people he may have infected before he realized he was contagious.
There's also an unknown respiratory illness that's been reported near Houston, Texas (Montgomery County) which has resulted in 4 deaths thus far. Patients are said to have flu-like/pneumonia symptoms yet tested negative for the flu.
Here's the original thread:
Thread: NOW: Two PNEUMONIC plague cases have been found in Madagascar
I'll quote my comments below - and continue reporting any updates I find on this thread.
