Someone needs to figure out this "Flu"

Can anybody explain how a Mexican caught this? Anyone?

In an interview with AFP, OIE Director General Bernard Vallat described the virus as a "cocktail" of four different strains.

"The background of these strains has been reconstituted," he said.

"The avian strain is of American origin, and of the two swine strains, one is American origin and the other appears to be Asian. The human strain is American."

In other swine flu news, health officials believe they have found "Patient Zero," who is the first documented person to have survived the outbreak. He is a five year-old boy named Edgar Hernandez and lives in the village of La Gloria in the state of Veracruz. La Gloria's population is about 3,000

conspiracy theory: a muslim lab worker/receptionist at Baxter sent the wrong batch out, substituting batches of live virus with the live vaccine, and the strain was released in Mexico for Obamas' visit.. .

other then that,.. the WHO story seems a bit far fetched as well.. "an infected bug bit an infected American, the bug was then eaten by a bird who migrated south in the early spring.. crapped in pig food, infected a Mexican pig who had a "relationship" with an imported Asian pig.. who infected a small boy by sneezing, who infected Obama's door man.. who died days later..

I would just go with... oh what a tangled web,.... and does it really matter?

It doesn't seem to matter much to Obama. Let them all in, it's already here. Why deal with 1000 carriers when you can deal with 5000.

I hope he doesn't deal with terrorists in this manner!

His claim came in response to the evening’s very first question, from Jennifer Loven of the Associated Press.

JENNIFER LOVEN: Can you talk about whether you think it’s time to close the border with Mexico and whether, under what conditions, you might consider quarantining, when that might be appropriate.

After calling for concern but not panic, and a scientific response to the situation, the president continued . .

BARACK OBAMA: I’ve consulted with our public health officials extensively, on a day-to-day basis, in some cases an hour-to-hour basis. At this point they have not recommended a border closing. From their perspective it would be akin to closing the barn door after the horses are out. Because we already have cases here in the United States.

Surely the president can’t believe this. He can’t believe that having a relatively few carriers of the disease in the country poses as much of a threat as having thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of infected people coming into the country from Mexico.

They'll need to explain how the asian strain got to Mexico, and how a US strain got to Mexico, and also how a human American strain got mixed in, at the same place and time.

Or be honest and let us know how it got out of the lab, where they were previously mixing these exact strains.

it's possible that the A/H1N1 virus originated in an Asian bird that was exported to Mexico, where it may have reassorted in a pig before infecting people. Far more investigation is still needed, but it's clear that while U.S. officials were looking for flu exports from Asia, they should have also improved surveillance of their southern neighbor. "I think it might have been possible to prevent it," says Daszak. "We should be paying more attention to our own backyard."

There must have been one more transmission of the "swine Flu", I'm not sure what a five year old peasant boy was doing in an swine barn, or near the manure pit? So it would have had to be transferred from the lagoon to the boy some how!

Locals have been complaining of sickness for months!

Common seasonal flu kills 250,000 to 500,000 people every year worldwide, far more than the current outbreak of swine flu. But there is a vaccine for seasonal flu.

Another Hoax, that many people do not die from the flu! The include pneumonia and other respiratory deaths in with flu.

The actual number of deaths due to flue are very small, most are from pneumonia of older people or people with other medical problems.

The actual healthy person that gets the flu and dies is pretty rare case!

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Using a new tracking tool, search engine giant Google said on Wednesday it saw a spike in searches for information about flu among people in Mexico last week even before news of the outbreak became widely known.
