I am in Hamburg

Well, the seasonal flu is usually fairly mild, plus h1n1 and h3n2 are easy to diagnose these days.  I'm curious to see what flu is severe enough to kill 1 and hospitalize the other, and making others sick.

The H1N1 and H3N2 flu is in Germany since 3 weeks most subside according to RKI influenza...
Germany is now the same away as China...they don't say what is going...

A 49 year old policeman is dead, 5 other persons are ill and doctors are puzzled by this mysterious disease just outside of Hamburg. Andreas Breitner, Minister of the Interior, confirmed to the "Schleswig Holstein newspaper" the death of the 49-year-old policeman at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) on Tuesday (9 Apr 2013), after multi-organ failure. Another policeman, aged 38 years is in critical condition. He is suffering from similar flu symptoms, including severe pneumonia. A teacher from the Schacht Audorf area near Rendsburg has also died of multi-organ failure in the UKE, and according to unconfirmed reports, 3 other persons from the same region are seriously ill. All are suffering from flu-like symptoms but the doctors do not know what disease is affecting them. It could be a "degenerated virus" (?mutated), the "Schleswig Holstein" newspaper reporter quotes" an official.

District spokesperson Martin Schmedtje said: "Both policemen showed the same clinical picture. However, we do not know yet whether there is a pathogen or whether a pathogen was actually the cause." After investigation there are no known connections between both colleagues. Police spokesperson Sonke Hinrichs said, "the 2 policemen did not work in the same agency, were not on duty together, do not live in the same place. There is no visible connection, but naturally we are working together to try to find out what has happened." The hospital is also investigating a possible link. UKE spokesperson Christine Jaehn said, "At present no patients with unusual infectious diseases are being treated in the UKE intensive care unit. Moreover, no accumulation of patients exists in the Rendsburg area." Public health authorities in Rendsburg-Eckernfoerde have been activated since Friday (5 Apr 2013). But so far nobody knows what this deadly disease is. On Wednesday evening (10 Apr 2013) the Rendsburg-Eckernfoerde District Administrator announced, " Despite the efforts of the specialists involved we have not been able to identify a pathogen." However, the danger has been estimated as low. District spokesman Martin Schmedtje said, "a recommendation from the health services to close public facilities as a precaution is not necessary. General hygiene measures taken in times of rampant influenza, are sufficient."

Hamburg is the largest ship port in Europe,
the police worked at the Customs Office and have contact to ship from China...10000 of them every day come from China,
they do not recognize the Virus,
they are afraid of restriction
trade and money are more important as people
2 or 4 cases they will give nothing to...
only if they can it no longer deny for example explode the contagions

I don't know why, however this virus creeps me out more and the situation in China. Perhaps it's because Hamburg is a port city. Yomi thanks for keeping us updated.I'm going off to reinvent org my preps.

I contacted the major, no reply yet.

H7N9 is very unlikely with so few cases in China

In Hegenauer's Chemotaxonomie der Pflanzen, Band XIb-2, p. 280, he treats the Indigofera. We choose Indigofera heterantha because of one of its constituents, acacetin. Because prion studies were carried out at Pullman, Washington, and because remains of the giant camel, Megatylopus have been found on the area, the Legumonisae are of special interest. It is a region known for lentil growing (Legumes) and Megatyolpus stood 14-16 ft. tall and ate out of trees much like a giraffe. Some of these trees were undoubtedly Acacia (Legumonisae).

This was from 09.04.2013

In shaft Audorf fear is spreading. The residents in the 4500-strong community feel insecure. "My uncle is suffering from a severe fever. He is doing very badly, "said one resident. He knew of three other people who prostrate subject with the same symptoms. That a woman had already died, he had heard. This is obviously a teacher. "We thought at first, which is a severe influenza. But who knows what it really is, "said the man he make serious thought about the many cases.

The health department in Rendsburg is in constant contact with the UKE. "We have to get from Hamburg no evidence of a pathogen," said spokesman Martin Schmedtje authorities, who stressed that "in the office keep a low profile." Both policemen were apparently admitted with pneumonia. How Schmedtje stressed that the number of reported cases of flu in the region with 300 cases in March 2013 was extremely high - in the same month in 2012 there were only 30

The Hamburg Specialists do not have any evidence of a suspected pathogen. As a possible cause also the reportable Q fever came again this week. "But so far no case has been made known to us," said Schmedtje. Last year there were 23 reports in the country, where cows were diagnosed in 2013 there were only three. "Maybe it will cause the end of the week to give certainty," said the spokesman authorities.

The Late on Tuesday police officer is ill four weeks ago and died of a multiple organ failure. The younger officer who is the UKE in the ICU, lit alleged to be two weeks ago. Interior Minister Andreas Breitner has responded to the news with deep grief and the widow and relatives expressed its deep sympathy. "I know the fellow personally. He was for many years in the city service where I'm at home, "said the minister. They left behind many questions, and the fingers crossed and praying for the sick colleague from the other Rendsburg police station.
