De nouveaux cas de personnes atteintes par le virus H1N1 de la grippe porcine ont été signalés dimanche 26 avril. Aux Etats-Unis, le responsable des services de santé de la ville de New York Thomas Frieden a déclaré dimanche que les Centres américains de contrôle et de prévention des maladies (CDC) avaient confirmé que huit étudiants new-yorkais étaient atteints de la grippe porcine. Le bilan est désormais de 20 cas avérés de grippe porcine aux Etats-Unis.


"BEAUCOUP PLUS DANGEREUX"

L'Organisation mondiale de la santé considère la situation "sérieuse" et "imprévisible" et "évolue vite". La maladie touche "des jeunes adultes en bonne santé", et la mutation du virus est inédite, "dans des gênes jamais rencontrés auparavant" selon l'OMS. Dimanche, lors d'une conférence de presse, le vice-président de l'organisation n'a pas caché qu'il fallait envisager les hypothèses les plus inquiétantes : "Il est fort possible que le virus évolue. Quand les virus évoluent, il est clair qu'ils peuvent devenir beaucoup plus dangereux pour la population", a-t-il dit.

Getting world wide coverage = Grippe Porcine

[Massacure]

1. thinking back to my days in Spanish,I know grippe means flu,

I don't know French though

[saigon68]

2. La Grippe Porcine= The Swine Flu

[yurbud]

80. I thought it was ''the pig grip'' sort of like an unwanted bear hug.

[saigon68]

81. Apparently it , "Grips" your ass pretty seriously

It is highly lethal to the elderly, who are in a state of precarious health.

[rocktivity]

3. I think I'd rather have the swine flu

than try to exhume my high school French!

Etas Unis = United States
dimanche = Sunday
beaucoup = lots
jamais = never
noveau = new
dans = in
ville= city
huit étudiants = eight students
des jeunes adultes en bonne santé = young adults in good health
a-t-il dit = he said?

New cases of people infected by virus H1N1 of the swine flu were released Sunday April 26. In the United States, the person in charge of the Health Department of the city of New York Thomas Frieden declared Sunday that the American Center for Disease Control(CDC) had confirmed that eight New York students were infected by the swine flu. The assessment is there are 20 proven cases of swine flu in the United States.


" MUCH MORE DANGEROUS"

The World Health Organization considers the situation " serious" and " unpredictable" and " evolving quickly". The disease touches " young adults with good health" , and the change of the virus is new, " difficulty in functioning because of the disease" according to WHO World Health Organization. Sunday, at the time of the press press conference, the vice-president of this organization who did not hide; had to be considered the most worrying assumptions. " It is extremely possible that as the virus evolves, it is clear that it can become more dangerous for the population" , he said.

Sorry it was late :-), :-)

27. Wait. We had 75 sick kids in Queens at St. Francis.

But we only tested blood from nine. Eight came up positive for piggy flu. But that doesn't mean 8 cases is all we got. Figure at least 70 from St. Francis. "Confirmed cases" is beginning to make me twitch. Judging by NY, the real number of cases is maybe ten times that?

[Sandrine for you]

37. Yep we feel that the USA do not take this situation with enough energy.

[nilram]

64. yeah, there are Mexican doctors emailing the BBC

saying that they have 200 deaths, not 20...

[aquart]

66. 103 officially.

[nilram]

69. 20 at the time when the Mexican doctor wrote this:

I work as a resident doctor in one of the biggest hospitals in Mexico City and sadly, the situation is far from "under control". As a doctor, I realise that the media does not report the truth. Authorities distributed vaccines among all the medical personnel with no results, because two of my partners who worked in this hospital (interns) were killed by this new virus in less than six days even though they were vaccinated as all of us were. The official number of deaths is 20, nevertheless, the true number of victims are more than 200. I understand that we must avoid to panic, but telling the truth it might be better now to prevent and avoid more deaths.

11. An attempt at translation:

Actual person translation:

-------

New cases of people attacked by the H1N1 virus of swine flu have been (signaled?) 26 April. In the United States, the (head?) of health services in the city of New York, Thomas Frieden, said Sunday that the American Centers of Control and Prevention of Diseases (CDC) had confirmed that eight New York students (came down with?) swine flu. The total is (now?) 20 cases (confirmed?) of swine flu in the United States.

"Much more dangerous (plural)"

The World Health Organization considers the situation "serious" and "(?unpredictable?) and "quickly evolving". The disease affects "young adults in good health", and the mutation of the virus is unexpected, "in (genes?) never encountered before" according to WHO. Sunday, during a press conference, the vice president of the organization did not hide that it is necessary to (consider?) the most disquieting hypotheses: "It is very possible that the virus is evolving. When viruses evolve, it is clear that they may become much more dangerous to populations", he said.

-----

If I understand correctly stuff I've read on this board and through various links, the fact that it is affecting "'young adults in good health'" is worrying, pointing to an ironic situation where those with a stronger immune system are more at risk, since they may be susceptible to "storm" of immune reaction . . . I'm sure someone else can explain this better than me, but it seems to be similar to the 1918 flu in that respect.

[aquart]

33. That's exactly what's scaring the merde out of world governments.

[JayMusgrove]

46. bien fait,,,,,, (well done!)

Well, there is a paradox in immunology here, but we have thousands of times more ability than the world had 90 years ago to combat this.

FIRST, note that Mexicans are the only people so far who have died from this.
Do we know anything about the relative health and age and condition of those Mexicans who have died? NO! We know only a little about ages of those contracting the virus.

SECOND" We have no cases in the USA so far that have led to deaths. This may mean that Mexico had thousands and thousands of cases and only now when some few have died, (those being in conditions of health yet undisclosed, or unknown), many Mexicans may have suffered the flu much like the few dozen in the USA are now suffering, mild to moderate, below the level requiring hospitalization, and recovering in a week or two.... might have been this way in Mexico for months and months for thousands, and we may never know.

NOW THIRD: Tamiflu, and diet/vitamins/blood transfusions, oxygen tanks, IV fluids, etc etc ....not around in 1918........today, available in any hospital. No air conditioning in 1918 either....no climate control, no antiseptic soaps, no autoclaves in all dental offices.

EVEN IF... this is the big one, the big evolution of a virus strain....we have ways of isolating, treating, keeping sanitary, nurishing, and aiding in recovery of the most ill among us.... and .... we have the potential in 3-6 months of a vaccine for those most at risk and targeted to cities and towns most needy.


In short, don't panic yet!

[JayMusgrove]

50. only one other little tiny point

<<dangereux>> that is the singular M and F and the plural is <<dangereuses"

It's a picky point, but it's an irregular noun. <<Les Liaisons Dangereuses>> = Dangerous Liaisons

[DLnyc]

54. Okay, thanks

[Liberty Belle]

57. I read that older people may have immunities from exposure to an older but similar virus.

[AlbertCat]

12. Holy Merd!

We've been Frenchified!!!!

I knew that Socialist Obama would do this!!!!

[Sandrine for you]

14. LOL It's so great to not be affraid to be french in USA.

[Bluebear]

17. Vive la France!

votre ami,

bluebear

[Sandrine for you]

21. I mean : francophone, but thank's, c'est l'intention qui compte.

[jeff30997]

39. Québec ?

Vive le Québec libre !



:)

[Sandrine for you]

43. LOL thank's

Papineau la trouverait drôle.

[Bassic]

84. Je sais pas,

Papineau n'avait pas l'air du genre à rire facilement. :P

[Bluebear]

49. Ah, aussi toujours - vive la QUEBEC!

[Sandrine for you]

61. '' vive la QUEBEC'' lol ! so cute !

la QUEBEC lol Québec is masculine. That's a big difference with France. Also, that's mean that we are a lot more matriarchal than France. Paradox.

[Bluebear]

63. Je comprends plus que je le parle :)

Anyhow, we love ya! :loveya:

[aquart]

67. Is Montreal a boy or a girl?

[Sandrine for you]

73. City are feminines, Quebec is the girlfriend, Montreal the bitch.

[JVS]

72. Merde sacre!

[Sandrine for you]

13. Quand les virus évoluent...wow...we have too look close on that.

Sérieusement, mes employés ayant à prendre le transport en commun, je regarde de près ce qui se passe à New-York.

[DLnyc]

15. Je suis pas certain ce que ça veut dire "inédite". C'est "unexpected"? or

"unprecedented"? Ou "Unheard of"?

[Sandrine for you]

19. More "unexpected", because that's what is not expect of simple

flu, a flu from who the human react normally.

[DLnyc]

25. Okay, merçi. p/t

[dysfunctional press]

22. el gran juego de la oca...

quack, quack, quack.

[CHIMO]

24. Mon Dieu

22 posts and no freepers yet!

[Sandrine for you]

29. Peut-être que le français est freepers-free ?

lol

[MADem]

31. French to freepers is like Apache code talk! Impossible to crack! nt

[CHIMO]

40. Perhaps

And your profile is turned off. Or not turned on?

So how would anyone know?

[Sandrine for you]

42. And your profile is turned off. Or not turned on?

I just don't know about what you are talking about, but please explain me what happen to my profile ? You talk about what ?

[CHIMO]

48. Whoa, Whoa

If you look at the ikons beside the users name there are several selections. They are set under "options" and "user profile".

All it does is to let us see how much one is willing to expose to the rest of the community.

If one doesn't wish to have any information upfront then they don't have to.

No secret messages here.

Sorry to have tweaked something. Didn't mean to.

[Sandrine for you]

53. The user has disabled his/her user profile.

What do we have to do to make our profile to be public ?

[CHIMO]

55. Well

See post 53. I think it explains it.

Otherwise I guess that one has to go to help?

Only trying to help. But I also get lost sometimes inside these computers.

Hope you have success.

On the other hand there is nothing incorrect in not displaying ones profile. It was only a question on my part. It only helps in establishing the background of one. ie From reading your entries I would develop an imagine of where you are coming from and it would help me in replying to your posts.

Again. Was only trying to help communications.

[Sandrine for you]

59. Yeah thank's it's in the preference. I think I fix-it now.

[DLnyc]

52. to edit your profile

On peut cliquer sur "Options" et, apres, choisir "edit my profile". La on peut ecriver quelques mots de 'bio'. Excusez, s'il vous plait, mon français pas exact.

[Sandrine for you]

56. Nothing change.

[DLnyc]

68. Mais, oui, it has changed, I think

Now when I click on le deuxieme icon in your post, je vois l'info (Quebec, membre depuis le 22 aout, etc.).

[smalll]

28. Petit poulet! "Le ciel est tombant! Le ciel est tombant!" -- Je, por un, ne le achete pas!

[aquart]

36. Buy this: it's killing the wrong demo.

Everything has gone into high gear because the wrong people have croaked. Normal flu kills babies, elderly, medically challenged. Does it all the time. THIS FLU MURDERS YOUNG ADULTS. This is a pandemic demo, NOT a normal one. THAT's why what looks like overreaction to you.

The wrong people are dying. Every country with an airport is worried. But. Not. You.

[JayMusgrove]

38. As a bi-lingual (French/English) American, I appreciate

threads started today in French.

Although, I am not sure we are supposed to do this without translations.

LeMonde publishes most of its articles in English, by the way, there is a large English readership around the world who wants to know what is in LeMonde, (the world) daily.

Babelfish.........translation of paragraph by paragraph, approximations by computer...

http://babelfish.yahoo.com/

Put a paragraph in there, (may be limited by number of characters), and push the right buttons... I am sure most people on computers can figure this out if they are smart enough to belong to the DU.

[Sandrine for you]

44. You : elitist !! pffff!!

[rocktivity]

41. But seriously, folks--this thread has got me remembering that Italian reporter

whose car was fired upon just outside the Baghdad airport. We had to rely on the Italian media to get the story--and upon the DUers who translated the stories for us!

:headbang:
rocktivity

[JayMusgrove]

47. Yeah, that was back in the BUSH, (translation: LIES) days...

We have a president who will tell us the truth, if not tomorrow, by Wednesday, for sure.

By the way, nothing in the French link quoted gave any more information, (just other totals of sick, less numbers in the USA) than we got from the presser today at the White House.

[Isere]

45. Merci pour les infos

C'est toujours sympa de trouver un message en français chez DU.

60. Hay

I can see it now.

Glad to have another compatriot here!

[Sandrine for you]

62. Thank's !

:fistbump:

[nilram]

65. Lovely. But it doesn't add anything to what's been posted

elsewhere. The Lebanon story at least gave something from a slightly different perspective, but this one doesn't say anything more than what the 40 other swine flu postings have said already.

But, granted, it does say it in French, so I'll lift my glass of wine to that. (Oops, tonight's selection is from Italy!)

[foo_bar]

70. it's hard to top "Schweinegrippe"

79. I never got a chance to use many of the nice little phrases...

....I learned from Merde! & Merde Encore! The French were too nice and all I ever got to do was exchange pleasantries and engage in interesting conversation with them.

I've been waiting twenty years to fire that off to someone.:)
