In my city (Lviv, Ukraine), number of viral pneumonia cases is jumped by 4x since Jan 26, but we have no test kits to confirm kind of virus they caused by. They can be caused by regular influenza, as usual, or they can be caused by corona. Nobody knows yet. :-/
- kenneth 7y agoThat's very scary! Very unlikely to be a coincidence.
- agapon 7y agoAny link / proof ?
- 0x38B 7y agoI had a look at some news from L'viv: "Two people who returned from China were hospitalized in Lviv with signs of ARD (acute respiratory disease)" (1) "Last week, nearly 13,000 people became ill in the Lviv region with influenza and SARS" (2) Primarily among kids and young adults, in the article they say the weather is especially conducive to the spread of the flu right now; I wouldn't automatically link it to the virus in China... 1: https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&nv=1&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=https://www.unian.ua/m/health/country/10854659-u-lvovi-z-oznakami-grz-gospitalizovano-dvoh-lyudey-yaki-povernulisya-z-kitayu.html&xid=17259,15700021,15700186,15700190,15700259,15700271,15700302&usg=ALkJrhiP0VMq_OHDJca_ZgkXavvktzhe4g https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&... 2: https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&nv=1&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=https://zaxid.net/na_lvivshhini_na_grip_i_grvi_za_minuliy_tizhden_zahvorilo_mayzhe_13_tis_lyudey_n1497070/amp&xid=17259,15700021,15700186,15700190,15700259,15700271,15700302&usg=ALkJrhgBgKobNr3ZXPmJuQrY_sgnekrDnA https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&...
- netsharc 7y agoHmm, is that article using a different definition of SARS, because 13000 with SARS should double the panic of this coronavirus...
- agapon 7y agoIndeed! The original article says ГРВІ which is a local abbreviation of acute respiratory viral infection and a typical label for any viral cold-like illness. Now is a peak of flue / cold season in Ukraine, so there is nothing unusual. Some people are just panicky.

- brutt 7y ago4x increase of viral pneumonia cases over previous year is worth to investigate. It looks like it caused by H1N1 (Swine Flu), which is much less worse than Corona-virus, but still worse than regular flu.
- brutt 7y agoIt's A H1N1 (Swine Flu). https://wz.lviv.ua/news/404392-likarni-ternopolia-perepovneni-khvorymy-iz-virusnoiu-pnevmoniieiu-troie-liudei-pomerly https://wz.lviv.ua/news/404392-likarni-ternopolia-perepovnen...

- brutt 7y agoThank you. It looks like we have H1N1 again, but it better to be safe.
