Vietnam
Pozdravljeni,
zanima me, če ima kdo kakšne izkušnje s potovanjem po Vietnamu v poletnem času, ali je ta čas kljub deževnem obdobju primeren za to državo, dobrodošli pa so kakršni koli nasveti o možnih nevarnostih in o tem kaj je in kaj ni vredno ogleda po vaše. Vem da cepljenja niso obvezna, me pa zanima ali je priporočljivo vseeno jemati kakšne tablete?
hvala za odgovore in lp

Zivijo Katja!
Glede pticje gripe o kateri je pisal jordanc, pac bos videla kaksne bodo razmere. Sam ti bom raje podal par nasvetov za potovanje po Vietnamu. V kateremkoli letnem casu gres v Vietnam imas dezevno in suho dobo, kar je majckena posebnost Vietnama. V poletnme casu imas dezevno dobo na severu, v osrednjem delu je susna doba, na jugu pa je ze itak skoraj tropsko podnebje in se cez leto zelo malo spreminja. V Vietnamu sem bi v poletnme casu in to izgleda takole: na obmocjih z dezevno dobo je bolj oblacno, racunas lahko dnevno na kaksen dez, lahko pa seveda sije tudi sonce. Skratka vsega po malem – ne tako kot v susni dobi, ko po vecini z dezjem nimas racunati. Seveda na severu okoli Sape je se vec padavin zaradi gorskih pregrad, ki vlazne zracne mase zaustavljajo. Ampak, to ne pomeni, da lije cele dneve! Pac bolj oblacno, meglenkasto, meni osebno je vsec, ker so barve v tistih trenutkih, ko sije sonce resnicno fantasticne, saj narava kar buhti v zelenju in cistosti!
Po Vietnamu vecina popotnikov potuje s potovalnimi agencijami. Zlasti v Hanoju jih je ogromno. Khim Cafe, Singh Cafe in joh in sploh, ki ti dajejo tickete za buse, ki te popeljejo na trekinge, eno ali vec dnevne izlete. Tu je pac v ozadju politika, ki zeli cim bolj nadzirati “naso” pot. Sicer lahko poskusis z lokalnimi busi, vendar racunaj, da bo stvar veliko drazja, kajti Vietnamci zelo radi spravijo kaksen dolar v svoj zep. Kolikor hitro vidijo priloznost. NA lokalnih busih bos pogosto delezna drugasnih, znatno visjih cen, kot pa jih zaracunajo za domacine – vecinoma je to pravilo, so pa izjeme. Vsekakor pa je tudi izkusnja potovati tudi s tovrstnimi prevoznimi sredstvi.
Ce se potouje po zacrtani routi (hrbtenici Vietnama), kar je skorajda pravilo (pri vseh agencijah), obicajno potuje s klimatiziranimi busi, dokaj visoke kakovosti in s sturisti. Po vecini jih potem ves cas, celo pot srecujes. Tudi to je lahko dozivetje…
V Vietnamu pac racunaj, da nekje prises odlicno skozi, s profitom, ze naslednji trenutek te bodo prinesli naokoli. Ampak to je pac Vietnam in ima zaradi tega se poseben car.
Kar se da ogledati in kaj ne, kaki se organizirati itd. je brez veze, da ti pisem, imej priblizno shemo v glavi, dosti si ne bos mogla zmisljevati, prej ze malo (ko bo tam) po vodicih preglej, kdaj pelje kaksen vlak v smeri za Sapo, ker vecino vozijo tako, da si tam cez vikend, ko je trznica polna okoliskih ljudi razlicnih plemenskih porekel.
Glede malarije: nisme jedel tablet, mislim, da ni nevarnosti, je pa tvoja odlocitev (lariam ima zagovornike kot tudi nasprotnike). Cepil sem se proti hepatitisu A.
Lep potovanje in upam, da ti bodo drugi podali se kaksno informacijo.
Kefo.
no ja ni čisto tako:
WHO (World Health Organisation) has released a press statement on Avian influenza H5N1 (bird flu) in parts of Asia.
Some of the main points from the press release are:
* The current situation is of serious concern for human health as well as for agriculture and the poultry industry. Rapid elimination of the H5N1 virus in bird populations should be given high priority as a matter of international public health importance.
* Of all the avian influenza viruses, which normally cause infection in birds and pigs only, the H5N1 strain may have a unique capacity to cause severe disease, with high mortality, in humans.
* Studies have shown that infected birds can shed large amounts of the virus in their faeces.
* The large epidemics of highly pathogenic avian influenza currently seen in poultry, and possible widespread presence of the virus in the environment, increase opportunities for human exposure and infection. They also increase opportunities for human and avian influenza viruses to exchange genes This can occur when humans are simultaneously infected by human and avian influenza viruses. The frequency of such co-infections increases the likelihood that a completely new influenza virus subtype might emerge, carrying sufficient human genes to allow efficient and sustainable person-to-person transmission.
* Rapid elimination of the H5N1 virus in animal populations is an essential measure to prevent the emergence of a new influenza virus subtype with pandemic potential. This measure not only helps prevent further spread in bird populations, but also reduces opportunities for human infection. However, in the present situation, the problem of controlling all human exposures is compounded by the large number of “back yard” farms where chickens are kept in rural areas.
* Research has shown that the risk of direct transmission of H5N1 infection from birds to humans is greatest in persons having close contact with live infected poultry.
* The virus can survive for long periods in the tissues and faeces of diseased birds and in water, especially when temperatures are low. In water, the virus can survive for up to four days at 22oC and more than 30 days at 0oC. The virus survives in frozen material indefinitely.
* In 1997, Hong Kong authorities culled the entire poultry population, an estimated 1.5 million birds, within three days. This rapid and comprehensive action is thought by many experts to have averted an influenza pandemic.
* Laboratories in the WHO Global Influenza Surveillance Network have today discussed results from the sequencing and antigenic characterization of H5N1 strains isolated from humans and poultry in Viet Nam. Initial results show significant differences between these viruses and strains obtained during outbreaks of H5N1 avian influenza in Hong Kong, in 1997 and 2003, indicating that the virus has mutated.
The message seems clear – if an outbreak is detected then all poultry needs to be culled to prevent not only the spread of the present virus but to eliminate the possibility of it mutating into a strain that will possibly lead to person – to – person infection.
