H1N1 flue KIEV:8 november live from Kiev streets VIDEO part 2

November 10th, 2009

Hi here is the video part 2! Enjoy the show;)…

<>

So , what’s up today? Apart from the fact that Ukrainian girls and cute and easy to talk to;), this video shows that at the moment in Kiev there is NO PANIC AT ALL…

Is it because for the first time on TV on sunday night some journalists show some statistic telling that the number of death was actually the same last year for the seasonnal flue? Is it because a lot of people say in the Social web (for ex in the russian facebook) that all this is very political and because at the moment in the polls the  called “pro-russian” candidate would win the election against the called “pro-european” actual Prime Minister? and that a situation of crisis is always good for the people who are in power in order ot show that they DO things for the people?

I do not knwo the anwser, but i can tell you that i was surprise to see so many people without maks and having fun and jking about it, or even receive some emails and coments where they show they do not want to hear about it ang do bakc to normal life:

Ex: an ukrianian girl wrote to me : “oh god.. calm down.. all this ah1n1 is a fake.. it’s all about politic and money before the election of president! even when pharmacy is one of the main and important property of Timoshenko and her branch. In 2008 people got flue and died cause of that in three times more then this year.. it’s original static! but why our goverment didn’t create panic around us.. why?? cause they have no need in this, it wasn’t useless for them!
ok, i have my own position about that :)  ”

and when i asked her about the statistics infos, her anwser was:

“  :) ))) in every channel, wich have news program, they show that static! that ah1n1 have been exsisted since 1971 year, in usa.. and that vaccine have been exsisted long time ago too!! wich from that 1971 started to use as an experimental vaccine at the american soldiers! usa told about it! but it wasnt show by our people
look, Ruben.. dont offence on me but many people won’t agree with me in this!cause all them with this panic look silly! like a herd of cows.. :) will tell us that we will die tomorrow and of course we believe in this..! :)
even Belarus have more problems with that ah1n1 much more problems! but they dont have an election in this year.. that’s why they are in silent. russia started to make that vaccine on people!! but what for!?? when people are already got that flue.. vaccine need a time to contact with your organism and specific of your body.. and as a rule it should be made a long time bofore that flue. not when you already have temperature and going to die soon :) ) every normal doctor will tell you the same! but not ous doctors.. cause they also recieve a lot money for that.. it’s useless for country them, cause vaccine coast a lot of money…
Rub! i dont wanna talk abut this actually.. :) i just want to see happy end and finally go to university!! :)

And when i tell her that she is VERY critic against  her country and if she thinks to go abroad and live with some foreign guys wiht who she actually is always very popular due to her cute style  (by the way Ukrainian woman car really be super critics about their country but DO NOT LIKE IF foreign guys do it;))… she anwsers:

“ hah)) thanks a lot! but.. that what i saw.. i’m sorry.. what my coutry show to me during my life.. i love Ukraine.. really! :) but our governemt destroy it from year to year

So as you can see, some people are actually very critizize about the situation… and i am glad wiht this blog and my web page www.kievculture.com to receive comments and opinions and to publish them so people form outside Ukraine hear the voice of the people of Kiev;)..

TO finish wiht a little bit of humour and lightness, i recomand u that video of Euronews where u will see how some ukrainian girls (very very very cute, too cute i think;)!!) protest half naked in the center of kiev (damned, i was not here with my camera or Mickey book agenda!!!) with maks as underwears to protest against what they call a political manipulation;)..

http://fr.euronews.net/2009/11/10/l-ukraine-craint-une-deuxieme-vague-d-epidemie-de-grippe/

But to be honest, they seem too cute to be just spontaneous womans… i mean they really are like models and i would not be surprised if they were paid for that job…

In june, when hot water was closed in Kiev (every year we do nto have hot warter for one month) also girls protested half naked.. but they really looked like normal student girls.. not like super cute model… and here is for me the diference between spontaneous action and happening and manipulation in order to create buzz or event…

It is only my opinion, (TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE) but i would be happy to have  opinions and comments of people from Kiev.. see the video, even if it is in french, you see the girls and how they look VERY organized;) do u think they were paid? and if yes, by who? a political party? or what??? u really think such cute girls just passed like this in Maidan?

Thanks for reading this blog and promoting it sending the links!!

 

OK take care and do not hesitate to make comments!

H1N1 flue KIEV:8 november live from Kiev streets VIDEO part 1

November 9th, 2009

Hi yesterday on sunday 8 november i finally went out of home (where i stayed lately not because of the flue but because of feet hurt dur to fall in a hall in the streets, very bad streets sometimes here, terrible!!!)
So i went to the center of the city, Krichyatyk and Maiden independance square to ask people if they wanted some masks, and also if not, why… and i was quite surprise to see the amount of people who actually do not believe ther eis danger in Kiev and who actually do not care to wear a mask or not…Some people still wanted masks, and on the 100 masks i had today i only have 20 left after 48 hours of distribution…

here the first part of the video: 8 november live from Kiev streets VIDEO part 1

>> 

As you can see , it was NO PANIC at all and often people were in a very funny attitude… So i do not know what they show in the internaitonal medias in rusia and usa, but here in the center of Kiev people are not afraid and do not panic…

As for today it is still possible ot go out of Ukraine, and to asnwer some people who told me in that in Rusia thae said borders were closed, i can say that at the moment on ly there are restrictions on the west of Ukriane at the Slovakia border:
“Today the borders that link Slovakia to Ukraine will be closing down to stop the spread of the h1n1 epidemic, it is still not clear whether this is the h1n1 or pneumonic plague. All border posts linking the two countries will be closed except one where Doctors and health officials will monitor people that pass and will be able to ban them from entering the country if they see fit”. http://fto.co.za/news/slovakia-closes-border-between-ukraine-and-slovakia-2009110815754.html

So it is not a glboal quarantain that woudl prevent people to go out of the country.. it is just a really strong control on the Slovak border!!!

I see lately a lot of blogs and videos where people are scary and scarying (for ex:  http://ukraineplague.blogspot.com)

ok. but in the streets of Kiev you see NO FEAR AND NO PANIC…

According to the authorities today, the virus would be decreasing since the number of people affected every day is decreasing…

Still they talk about total, almost one million touched by the epidemy since mid october, (969.000) , almost 49.000 were in hospital, and 155 died, said a précisé M. Lazorychynets , assistant health minister of Ukraine.

http://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-actu/2009/11/09/01011-20091109FILWWW00573-h1n1-l-epidemie-ralentit-en-ukraine.php

So, is it the reason why the panic is not in KIEV? already we hear about a scond wawe for mid winter and a third one in february…. we will see… and i will be there to report the reality of Kiev streets;)!!!

Hope u enjoy the video, and DO NOT HESITATE TO MAKE COMMENTS;)!! Part of video 2 coming soon;)!!!

Garlic and Honey to prevent againt the Flue;)….

November 5th, 2009

Since at the moment we are still not sur 100% what is happenning, it is not a bad idea to boost the Immune system in order to be able to prevent agaisnt the flue or any other winter desease, and also get more energy…

After looking in internet about garlic, i found that web page  http://blog.easy-immune-health.com/disease-treatment/the-fluswine-flu/flu-prevention-using-the-antiviral-activity-of-garlic/  that gave me the idea to preparea a delicious breakfast meal today, and i can tell you that it was hard to eat, i did it in 6 times and 30 minutes;), but after, i felt really great and energetic:

Here the video;)… 2 minutes videos to see!!!

 <>

So like in the video, you take one garlic and 5 big spoon of good honey, you cut the garlic in little pieces, you lix with the honey and then you eat it;)…

I do not know for sur if, like they say on this web page , “garlic is a safe and effective antiviral, immune system modulator and detoxifier”, but i can tell you that all day ans still now i feel good, better and great! so i guess Garlic is not bad at all, i will put more in my pasta tonight;)…

Take care, and do not hesitate to coments my videos or texts;)..

Comments on my videos of KIEV H1N1

November 4th, 2009

You will find here some coments about my videos of Kiev H1N1…
do not hesitate to coments the videos, or to coments to coments;)…

“YES….. all is true, and i very tired about it.
Im very good, thank you ,for your interesing. i hope its virus very time closed. i wait finish, its “global catastrofa for Ukraine”/ more people in Ukrain in panic, and no more pl. think about of ’simple game”. its no fun…. people death from H1N1, realy . i dont know, what think about me. im shok” .

“As to a flu epidemic in Ukraine…
My family very much is anxious by it, as all near relatives at us live in the Western Ukraine. And all of us very much worry about them! In Russia more and more people consider that all is pr, pre-election pr. We hope for it! We hope that soon all will be adjusted also all it will be again good.
I planned to go in January to stay for a while to Ukraine. Therefore I would like that at you there all was stabilised =) I have seen your videos) not all as it is a lot of them)) but, I hope, all is fast will be seen)) very interestingly and fascinatingly. Thanks)”

“Hello, Ruben! I’m fine, thank you. Just worried about this situation.
And my opinion about this situation is not optimistic. I see that there really are different opinions, but I feel very sorry for those people who scorn the advices to wear the masks.
Of course all this can be connected to our future President election, meanwhile it doesn’t make it less dangerous!
There is a lot of hidden information. It really might be even worse than it might look. There are opinions about “swine flue” but today also appeared opinions about “pneumonic plague”. Anyway you should be prudent. It’s good that you’re wearing a mask. Just don’t forget to iron it from both sides ( if it’s a gauze mask) or to change it every four hours ( if it’s an ordinary one). And please try not to visit public places or to ride transport without a huge need! (at least during this three weeks). I’m really worried about all my friends so try not to run the risk (or danger) that might be here. It’s always better to get reinsured. I’m impressed with the video and angry with those people who think that these all are games! Like those from the first video, who were “against the flue”! It was very unthinking from their side.
And you should be more careful!” .

“Bonjour, Ruben! Ca va? How was the opera? What performance that was? For me, I’m at optimist side:) I do not believe in all this fuss about the epidemie, and majority of info in mass media is coming from politicians, public people that are not doctors and know nothingabout medicine/ They even confuse names of cures. And doctors that appear on TV tell what they are told to say.
Last week I called to my family doctor and asked what to do: her reply was very shot – turn off TV:)))
But you know, i think each person should judge for itself. Each of us has intuition and internal voice that knows better how strong its health and immunity are. So if you are afraid of the deasese, then you should protect yourself – stay at home, wear masque, take medecine.
But if you feel that everything is Ok it means that your health is strong enough to survive and pass through any flue. That’s all”

“Hi ruben
i’m fine thank you. and i’m not afraid of any flu cause i dont believe in it!
this is a” political flu ” i think and i hate the panic that they impose on our people who are very very easy to panic((((( so thank you for the video its interesting – and take care of yourself! dont listen to anyone and enjoy your stay in kiev – just wear warm clothes)hope to see u soon..maybe in Caribbean club)))”

“Hi Ruben. I am glad to hear that all ok with you. I am healthy and this fact is good for me :-) My university is closed for 3 weeks, and these time I have to spend at home because my parents very worry about my health, anyway i will find what to do (to study,now it is very necessery for me, i have a lot of tasks and works about my study) :-)
I see from both situations that our leaders from both lines try to manipulate people’s minds because of future elections, and this only shows how the political structure is weak in our country, it affects as ucual at sitizens.
I hope soon the situation will be better. For example my friends from Germany are troubled of this and are not ready to come to Kiev in this time.
All the best and take care.”

“You ask me what I’m thinking about flue epidemic – I think all is very seriously and this virus is dangerous. But Ukrainian politicians use this situation in president elections companies. This is very cynical position of “national leaders”.

“Hi, Ruben
Nice to hear from you! Hope you’re good. Really, I’m surprised that you participate such events like Kazantip
You know, I’m one of that optimists that doesn’t have a mask, thinking that all of these bullshit is only about forthcoming elections, no more.
Thanks for your videos! I’ve learned that you’re pretty good in medicine and now you’re totally protected against all the viruses! It’s funny to listen your comments from metro and Kiev streets.
By the way, what’s your occupation, are you professional journalist, or it’s just your hobby?
Hope everything will be Ok with this virus and the panic will pass soon.”

“Hi Ruben, Thank you for your messages.
Im really ok and feel absolutely good and hope you too.
I think that this situation around H1N1 is extremely exaggerated and has political background. So I really hope that soon it will has its happy end.”

Hello Ruben! thank u.I think ur video is very important,but please dont think that ukrainians dont care about this flue!Im at home second day, coz my university is closed.so i dont chilln.Drinking a tea with lemon and thinking about life.So its very borring.There wiil be no winter hollydays for students and im ready to have a dificult exams…
i was in the train,when Tymoshencko said about virus.then 3 days spend in Harckiv.People dont believ in virus in Harckiv at all.Sorry about my english!
Want to say, u saw not a rabbit on the Maidan,it was a chinchilla.
thank u. take care”

“hi! what can i say about it. I think as ex lawer u should to understand situation not just by listening TV or internet, but also should analize situation by yrself.
I want to ask u question: when it is very comfortable to control all people who live in country? I will answer for u – when they are in panic or afraid of something.
All information which gives now in TV program or in internet it is very good planned before. Because everybody now prepairing for election. And it is way of victory for some of our political party.
I not beleive in this at all.
I was not yesterday in disko, but not because of panic.
Don’t worry it is not dangerous :) )))))))))))))))”

“I meanwhile house, but do not know as long it will proceed! I should work! I
went to the doctor, he heard my lungs and said that it is necessary to make
Fluorography of lungs.He wrote out all medicines are which together with
antibiotic, I searched for on many chemist’s stores! The chemist’s stores
engage in marauding, I paid 300 $! In chemist’s stores is nothing! There are
no masks! Politicians say that the medicines and masks are present, but it
is not true! Even those money which sent other countries for aid, already
long ago in politicians’ pockets! I had only two masks! Oranges,
tangerines, garlic and onion stand now in the shop very costly! Dear! Not
trust what is said on TV! At us very many people has already died! From 22
to 40 years! They die that they have high temperature 40 degrees which
doctors do not know how to lower ! People die that at them they burn up
lungs. When we went to hospital to funeral, I saw many died people! coffins
stood one near other and priest read the burial service dead! Them 24
persons were! It is terribly! When I went after funeral on empty streets, I
presented, as many centuries ago plague took the li of many people, and
beautiful streets and buildings remained empty! To me it was shown for the
moment that again plague came……I came home, and on my street too funeral
of young woman….Many people laugh from illness! They go without masks…..but at the same
time many cough and have red eyes! They disseminate virus….. I made
yesterday fluorography of lungs. Tomorrow the daddy will take picture! The
daddy yesterday to me did procedure! I do not know as it will be on English,
but I to You sent target image as it appears! My shoulders after this
procedure were black-dark blue! It is a bad sign! I can have pneumonia! This
flu which walks now in Ukraine gives different complications! I am afraid! Very terribly! I am afraid for native, friends, and I do not know that I will be further!”

“I don’t want to comment this letter. It is her opinion, and i have no right to judge it.
One thing which i know now, that it is turth, that there is no or not enough medicine in drugstore. The lemon it cost now 50 grn. instead 20 grn. as before ( but i speak not about supermarket, i speak about market in the street). I know that now our government decide to give 1 billion grn. for fighting with this problem (but i sure this money will go to election). WHat i worry about – it is ecomonic which will have problem if our government will continuie the same style – because it will lead the increase of rate of exchange.
I told u i not beleive in this kind of flue in Ukraine…….”

“Hi Ruben! Nice to hear from you! I also want to go to opera for anything but seems that all shows are delayed. Maybe this girl is right about what she sees in Lviv, but she is very frightened too. And emotional one.
You know i visited western region many times in preceding years, we had a lot of business there. And talked sometimes with our staff for various things. Year ago one woman from there told me a sad history that her close friend died within three days from high temperature.
Nobody knew about that, no did fuss about. And it’s obviously not the one case in prior years.
Of course, if you take TV to hospitals, invite people to hospital funerals and say about the flu all day through then people can go mad.
You know i was born in a small town, where all knew each other and its territory is very small. I could see funerals almost each day, because people dye always for different reasons, and we just not notice that in the common time.
People in western ukraine are much more emotional than here. If this girl were in Kiev i would advise her a good doctor, where she could obtain medecine and good advise without such crazy prices and problems.
See you! ”

“well, i also have friends in Lviv and they didn\t see things like that..every coin has at list 2 sides and the adge…so…panic and fear will not help! but thanks for sending it…
stay healthy!!!”

ONE DAY ATFER, THE GIRL WHO WROTE FROM LVOV was ok, and wrote that email:

“The daddy took picture! At me all good! And I had probably not flu and to catch cold”

And now a foto i received which show that some people take things with humour… should they? or not? TIME WILL TELL!!!
