Well, I’d bet coffee that the potentially pandemic, super nasty, end of the world flu is the same flu that was going around at the end of spring break that was on the news as a late season flu resurgence.

Now, time for a little math. In the USA, we typically have 36,000 deaths a year from the flu. We have a population of 303,000,000.

Mexico city, let’s call that ground zero, is 24,000,000 in population with much of the population living in poverty.

An equivalent annual death rate would be 2850. Roughly 100/week for the six months of high activity. Mexico, has had 159 in about two weeks.

I would expect Mexico city to have a much worse death rate for general flu than the US due to poverty.

I would not count on them providing accurate figures. They did not release the actual number of deaths in the prison riot. They greatly under report most things to protect their image.

That is a good question? Probably because if could grind the economy to a halt. That is really the biggest problem with this thing. Mexico City just shut down today.

Great idea!! I’ll give it a few days and then put that pick up line into full force, perhaps I’ll incorporate it into my many online dating profiles. My new headline will read “I survived swine flu, the good news is that my body fluids are a vaccine.” I’ll bet you a dollar it works.
