Very interesting comments from a CDC virologist:

Some highlights:

Swine flu strain probably did not originate in Mexico

It does not not grow well in eggs so mass production of vaccine will be difficult

It transmits very efficiently between people

The mexican and US strains are identical

and

Biden inducing panic, again.

Vice President Joe Biden’s motormouth was causing trouble again on Thursday.

In intemperate remarks on national TV, Biden spread some panicky words about swine flu. He said people should not fly or ride in subway cars or they could get sick — essentially telling millions of Americans to stop going about their daily business.

That’s absurd and irresponsible advice given what’s known right now about the low number of cases of swine flu in the United States.
