Someone in Ukraine who makes sense:<br /><br />http://www.kyivpost.com/news/opinion/op_ed/detail/52015/<br /><br />The article spells out facts, precautions, and analysis - and the fact that Ukraine's politicians don't know sick 'em from come here when it comes to medicine and antiviral drugs.<br /><br /><br /><br />"One of them kept mixing up Teraflu, an anti-fever drug, and Tamiflu, an anti-flu drug. When a lawmaker-doctor, who is a secretary of the health committee in the Verkhovna Rada, said that Tamiflu is a drug that only supports the immune system and that we “have decided at the National Security Council meeting that we’ll buy ozeltamivir instead,” I started to feel scared and embarrassed. If the country’s fate is decided by people who have no idea that Tamiflu and ozeltamivir are the same thing, what can we expect?"elmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086033.post-26507856439367913462009-11-07T07:18:13.735+02:002009-11-07T07:18:13.735+02:00FN: I fully agree with your assessment.
Yushchen...FN: I fully agree with your assessment. <br /><br />Yushchenko is desperate to find an excuse to prolong his term of office. He has even toyed with the idea of postponing the election until May.<br /><br />Problem is WHO have also issued a statement that we can expect a second and third wave of infections during Spring (April to June). This makes Yushchenko's alarmist comments even more alarming.<br /><br />The elections were meant to be held two weeks ago, but Yushchenko opposed the move and forced Ukraine to hold the election in the midst of its bitter cold winter.<br /><br /><i>Concern over the flue epidemic is another reason why Ukraine should consider adopting a single round preferential ballot. One round with results known in days not weeks, same result and more democratic.</i><br /><br />Yushchenko has less then 3.5% support and will not be re-elected to office.<br /><br />Come January 23 Yushchenko's five-year term of office expires. If elections are postponed then it is incumbent on the parliament to remove Yushchenko from office and either have the parliament elect the President (as is the case in Moldova, Greece and the EU) or they could appoint Lytvn as care taker President.<br /><br /><b>For the sake of democracy, whatever happens Yushchenko MUST not be allowed to extend his term of office beyond January/February</b>.UkrTodayhttp://ukrainetoday.blogspot.com/2009/11/yushchenko-proposes-to-extend-his-term.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
