The call from the area was disturbing: in surrounding villages hens and wefts in large quantities die. People in a panic: a bird not to eat, to sell – a continuous damage. In management of veterinary medicine of the Sumy area confirm: yes, the signal was, the commission left. It is not necessary to speak about the real mass character. The reason explain absolutely not influenzal factors and make comments at once: You understand – "fear takes molehills for mountains"
About fears which increase our eyes, it is possible to continue. Someone urgently refuses a bird in a house diet, someone decides not to grow up any more her houses …
Meanwhile, chicken flu in Ukraine already was, the first deputy chief of regional veterinary management Victor Naumenko argues. It registered in 1963-1964 in the Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk areas. After the actions carried out then the illness didn’t appear forty years. And there was it then exclusively bird’s. Those far times mention unless experts. All speak about the present without an exception, but mainly ordinary people. Speak much and with fear – it is not known that to wait from still unexplored properly for an illness. Actually, and to calm during such time the people navryad or costs: during which moment two viruses, human and bird’s, having gathered, form pernicious for mankind of a pandemic mutant?
But also to panic, experts advise, navryad or is wise. For a start it is necessary to analyse danger really. How real there is what on your kitchen table the infected bird can get?
On Sumshchin there are twelve enterprises of poultry farming. According to Victor Naumenko, nowadays all of them are transferred to the closed operating mode and included to the program of the state monitoring. The program consists in early diagnostics. In a bird do blood selection, investigate, and meanwhile any hints on bird flu it is not revealed. So, if you buy "official" chicken or a duck in "official" trade institution how don’t risk. If subject it also to sufficient thermal processing, can not lose appetite.
And if bird "informal"? Let’s tell, you hurry after work. Houses the refrigerator empty, and for tomorrow the child should cook any soup. Here also buy a chicken from the grandma directly on the street near the market. Experts warn: don’t do it, take care not only of the health, and and about health of your relatives. Eventually, don’t support the means spontaneous trade.
It is heavy to fight against spontaneous trade, the deputy chief health officer of area Alexander Chernyak recognizes. Just because some people are afraid of nothing. As them don’t warn, they continue to buy something round the corner or from asphalt. Therefore and overcome spontaneous trade a ban, and demand disappearance can not. However it meanwhile exists. So, there is also a danger?
- Spontaneous trade in foodstuff is under continuous control – the head of department of trade of the Sumy city council Galina Datsenko tells. – Concerning a bird, we know a place where try to sell it without laboratory inspection. It mainly people from surrounding villages which come to earn kopek and which complain that, say, if to pay for laboratory and for a place, you will earn nothing. As it not inhabitants of Sumy, they aren’t subject to control of our adminkomissiya. Therefore we simply convince them. In general, everything depends on buyers – it is not necessary to buy that has no certificate of inspection.
The management of veterinary medicine of the city of Sumy also tries to operate with belief more. The deputy his head Alla Galushka tells that work both among sellers, and among people who hold a bird today is intensified. To the last advise first of all to hold it indoors if only it had no contact to wild relatives. Wild relatives whenever possible as supervise. For example, city pigeons were selectively surveyed. Two businessmen who in the Sums are engaged in a conclusion and sale of popugaychik, also warned. However, grow up them in complete isolation.
So, problems aren’t present? No, they, certainly, are. But as to spontaneous trade, these problems belong rather to the category rescue of the drowning – work of the most drowning. Really, nobody forces us to buy something sub-standard, not certificated, unchecked, in an insanitary place or from "bezspravochny" hands.
Certainly, it is not predicted, what will be an illness if will escape on wide space. But already today it is possible to get used to the elementary consumer culture, which capable to protect not only from bird flu.
