Ukraine initial response hasn't been impressive, though Yanukovych and Tymoshenko haven't forgotten that an election is coming up. President Yushchenko raised the prospect of postponing the election, but its too early to consider postponing an election two and half months away. And to postpone the election until May is drastic, the only beneficiary from this move would be Yushchenko who could stay several months longer in office.
In a recent article, Radio Free Europe discusses the panic over the swine flu in Ukraine. While Ukraine hurries to get gauze masks to the public, consider this quote from John Oxford professor of virology at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry.
Oxford agrees. He says that when a population is scrambling for gauze masks, that is a sign that the government has not adequately prepared the public for dealing with the pandemic.
