SHOOT: According to Wikipedia total worldwide infections are between 500 000 and 600 000. If there are 250 000 in the Ukraine alone I'd be inclined to wonder whether the Wiki estimate is maybe 10% of the real number, if not less. World total death toll is officially 6749.
Officials in Ukraine have closed schools for three weeks, imposed travel restrictions and are limiting public events as the country battles to stop the spread of swine flu. More than 60 people are believed to have died of respiratory problems in the past week, and the measures are among the toughest to be implemented in Europe to tackle the virus.
On national television, he said Ukraine had the same problems as the rest of the world.
However, his calls may already be too late.
255,000 cases of flu and acute respiratory problems have been registered among the 46m population. 15,000 have been hospitalised.
The world has given us the financial crisis and now this horrible flu Many Ukrainians however, are asking why their government did not act sooner.
