Any update on Brazil hemorrhagic pneumonia?

Does anyone have an update the Idiopathic hemorragic pneumonia that was posted around June 2nd from a promed news release?  There were 9 suspected cases and 7 dead at the time of the post.

Machine translation:

The State Office of the secretary of Health for Labor is monitoring the hospital admissions for pneumonia, because of the cases of this mysterious illness. It has already claimed as  victims seven persons in Rio Big of the North. 

According to the coordinating one of Vigilance Epidemiológica of Dioméia Garcia, the deaths in the neighboring State, still are being investigated and there is the suspicion that may have been caused by the hemorrhagic pneumonia idiopática (of unknown origin).  

Second Dioméia, was not identified no alteration in the behavior and in the pneumonia cases number in the Laborer, but the vigilance is important.  “To that be fact the diagnosis final of the cause of the deaths in Rio Big of the North, that turn through the result of the exams made by the Institute Evandro Sores, of Belém (EQUAL) should be on the alert, therefore do not know the etiology of the illness, however so far there is not indications of that she be transmitted between persons”, says. we we.  

She stands out that by means of exams made also by the institute were discarded any possibilities of that the illness be caused by the virus H5N1, cause of the avian influenza, that already killed hundreds of persons in diverse countries.  

The symptoms of the hemorrhagic pneumonia, as informs Dioméia are very sharp cough, with dispnéia (difficulty of breath), that does not answer the broncodilatadores and that I evolved for bleeding of the respiratory roads, being able to cause to the death.  “As has a sintomatologia specific and different, still was not possible arrive to a diagnosis.  The pneumonia can occur for diverse causes and is what is being analyzed”, detaches she.  

The cases in Rio Big of the North began it to be investigated in the month of March, when were recorded the first infants death cases with grave respiratory chart and evolution of the illness of quick form (around 13 days of the appearance of the symptoms up to death).  The cities where were notified the deaths suspects were:  Good Health, Canguaretama, Will Dine Little, little Roosters, Christmas, Parnamirim, Saint Gonçalo of the Amarante, Saint Tomé and Taipu.  “The cases still are in study and there is not corroborations to that the exams can reveal the origin of the evil”, stands out Dioméia Garcia.  

No further information.  Somebody has told them to keep the wraps on.  WHO?

As is usually the case there was no further announcement because the main stream media was no longer interested.  The last I heard on this item was that they confirmed that it was NOT Ebola.  Nobody ever denied H5N1 "as confrimed by testing."  YOU are left to wonder and scratch your head.

After the (supposedly H9N2) Bird Flu outbreak in Columbia, there was a brush fire like outbreak just across the border in Peru where the local Indians were dying of a hemorrhagic influenza like fever.  (This more than the reported deaths later in Panama made me suspicious that we had H5N1 in the Americas.)

In one report there were over 100 fatalities among the Indians (Yamamano Indians, I believe).  The local missionary station initially reported that it was tested NOT to be Yellow Fever. 

The Peruvian government immediately stepped in and maintained that it WAS Yellow Fever. Loud proclamations to that effect! (Which all the moreso made me doubt their veracity.)

Coverup?  We will never know, because the main stream media forgot about this outbreak, just like all the other outbreaks.

Thanks for trying.  The only way we will find out is to somewhat pester those people who can inform the world.

We know there is an unexplained pneumonia outbreak in Brazil and we know that southern Africa has a vicious flu outbreak that is killing people with pneumonia, but nobody will confirm the virus that is responsible.

During the winter, both the Ukraine and Moldavia had very high numbers of pneumonia deaths.  There was even a report from a newspaper that it was Bird Flu in Moldavia, but that was quickly covered up, just like the cow deaths in the Ukraine.

It is spreading.  Animals and people are dying, but ABBF still rules.
