British scientists are examining the strain of swine flu behind a deadly Ukrainian outbreak to see if the virus has mutated.
A total of 189 people have died and more than one million have been infected in the country.
Some doctors have likened the symptoms to those seen in many of the victims of the Spanish flu which caused millions of deaths world-wide after the World War One. An unnamed doctor in western Ukraine told of the alarming effects of the virus.
He said: 'We have carried out post mortems on two victims and found their lungs are as black as charcoal.
'They look like they have been burned. It's terrifying.'
Neighbouring Poland has called on the EU to take action, fearing the mystery virus may spread westwards. Prime Minister Donald Tusk has written to European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and the Swedish Prime Minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, who holds the EU presidency.
The letter said: 'The character of this threat demands that rapid action be undertaken at the European Union level.' Russia, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Romania have already launched health checks on Ukrainians entering their territory.
Slovakia has closed two of five border crossings.

I’m sorry didn’t the link work?
Keep testing, I am sure they will finally be able to produce one that really WORKS.
This whole Swine Bull really bugs me.
What’s up with this? They are saying in the Ukraine that it’s plague bacteria and virus mixed... equals biochem.
The WHO and CDC refuse to let out genetic and other info.
(Do you remember who wanted to reanimate and study the 1918 strain before?)
Y-pestis combined with H1N1? Remember Algeria backfired on Al Q with bio (called plague, they were vague, 40 guys).
Remember China in June, Mexico in January, other cases (as well as labs with missing vials and found vials forgotten about, see Fort Detrick)
It’s killing people like mad. BTW, in the last 2 days, Canada has had a lot of deaths that look funky as well.
Friend got an email from China yesterday, woman’s freaking out because four her building have died and the woman upstairs died the night before, said it’s a gov’t lockdown. I don’t know where she is though.
And didn’t our Head Pennywise just go to China?
Explains the state of emergency and the troop practices out west here.
Tin foil hat... staying on.
