I’ve been seeing these claims in the conspiracy blogs for a week or so now, but they are not found in russian/ ukrainian news sites

Kommersant reports that it is an acute respiratory flu, probable swine flu, and that the claims of its deadliness are overstated.
Yushchenko is still duking it out with Timoshenko; Yushchenko just announced he was going to reinstate Yekhanurov as defense minister (Timoshenko was behind his sh#tcanning for purported corruption):
best bet: Yushchenko is inflating claims of flu problems in a bid to delay election

Yanukovych is no more trustworthy than Yushchenko but he looks like the likely winner unless maybe Moroz has something else in his pockets?
