	Venezuela on alert over mysterious, deadly disease Author: Helena Poleo, View from Venezuela Contributing Columnist, hpoleo@influencecomm.com Published On: Sep 17 2014 10:15:49 AM EDT Updated On: Sep 17 2014 10:17:25 AM EDT The deaths of 10 people in the past week of a mysterious disease in several cities in Venezuela, including the capital of Caracas, have caused panic within the population and has prompted doctors to sound the alarm. A government spokesman minimized the warnings and described efforts to notify the public of a disease that has killed four adults and four children as a "campaign of disinformation and terrorism." Despite the government's indifference, the country's doctors insist there is plenty of reason for concern about a highly dangerous and contagious disease of unknown origin. We do not know what it is," admitted Duglas León Natera, president of the Venezuelan Medical Federation. In its initial stages, the disease presents symptoms of fever and spots on the skin, and then produces large blisters and internal and external bleeding, according to data provided week stop by the College of Physicians of the state of Aragua, where the first cases were reported. Then, very quickly, patients suffer from respiratory failure, liver failure and kidney failure. Venezuelan doctors have not been able to determine what the disease is, much less how to fight it. The government has denied the existence of "a mysterious disease" and described the information provided by the doctors as a "media campaign against Venezuela." The governor of the state of Aragua, Tarek El-Aissami and Communications Minister Delcy Rodriguez, refer to the warnings as a "defamatory" strategy to "distress to the population." Some theories being examined include the possibility that the disease could be a new type of very aggressive and severe dengue, an atypical version of the Chikunguña fever or an Ebola virus appearance in Venezuela.

	Caracas, Wednesday September 17,2014 TalCual: The Truth Shall... Make You Sick! The Venezuelan government certainly has an original way to muddy the waters. In the wake of recent statements by leaders of the College of Physicians of Aragua state, who reported the deaths of eight people caused by a “strange” disease, the governor of that state (Tareck El Aissami) replied – with his usual fascist-style tone – with an accusation against one of the complainants for belonging to the Acción Democrática opposition party, which is not a pathology but a constitutional right, and then threatened all those daring to spread the word on the outbreak with sending them to trial and imprisonment – did we mention he called them “terrorists,” too? By TalCual The Venezuelan government certainly has an original way to muddy the waters. In the wake of recent statements by leaders of the College of Physicians of Aragua state, who reported the deaths of eight people caused by a “strange” disease, the governor of that state (Tareck El Aissami) replied – with his usual fascist-style tone – with an accusation against one of the complainants for belonging to the Acción Democrática opposition party, which is not a pathology but a constitutional right, and then threatened all those daring to spread the word on the outbreak with sending them to trial and imprisonment – did we mention he called them “terrorists,” too? What that kind of response does, regarding its content and layout, is to undermine the credibility of the person who gave it. Since we already know how the Government operates, believing what it says is something very naive for anyone to do. It is worth remembering how it treated the issue of the ailment of the late president Hugo Chávez, and that’s more than enough not to trust it. Or the way it manipulates the information about the actions of the National Executive, for example, that of the Misión Vivienda housing program, as to not have serious doubts about everything it says. There are several other examples underscoring the transparency failures of the Government. For instance, when it didn’t agree with the country’s official weekly murder figures, it simply had the press office of Venezuela’s scientific police, or CICPC, shut down and subsequently this kind of information ceased to be disclosed to the public opinion. Unfortunately, that decision did not solve the problem and murder rates, as we all know, are still reaching unbelievable levels. The same has been happening with the data that necessarily has to be released by the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) with regard to monthly inflation and the scarcity index. In light of the useless chavo-madurista policies for dealing with the problem and that the bolivars received by Venezuelan workers as part of their monthly salaries will never be enough for them to go buy some decent amounts of food, the solution of the State is to not reveal information of any kind as if consumer prices will stop rising. In the present case, the reaction of El Aissami has made his own version of the facts lose a lot of credibility. If the complaints by one of the members of the College of Physicians are false and do not correspond to reality, it would have been more than enough if he denied the outbreak rumors with an accurate information in a respectful and calm tone of voice. By claiming it was all about “acts of terrorism” and “fascist” campaigns against the Government, he distorted the official information. We understand that El Aissami wants all citizens to believe that Venezuela is heaven on earth, but unfortunately for him they all have contact with reality as well as they are aware of the sorry state of the national healthcare system. It is enough to see the huge amount of medications that have vanished from pharmacies for anyone to be terrified of the possibility to suffer any kind of illness. Let’s just hope that what El Aissami said is true. It would be best for all of us if there were no viruses, bacteria, or any other agent that may give rise to a “strange” disease that causes horrific deaths. On the other hand, we tell El Aissami that it is dangerous in politics, as much as it is in any other activity, to act with so much hate. This sentiment can cause greater ills than any known bacteria. There is no need to go very far in history. Just keep in mind what happened in Rwanda.
