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.

“WASHINGTON – The world’s governments raced to avoid both a pandemic and global hysteria Sunday as more possible swine flu cases surfaced from Canada to New Zealand and the United States declared a public health emergency. “It’s not a time to panic,” the White House said.”
Really? The Government’s are trying to avoid panic? Looks to me like the media is running wild foaming at the mouth and broadcasting a disaster and the governments are all playing along to keep the masses distracted.

ParticipantExcept the initial cases were sick in March.
And the ‘flu’ has been ripping through the US left and right since March. It was on the headlines back at the beginning of April that a late resurgence of the flu hit.
I suspect that the ‘flu’ many already had is the flu the media is having pandamonium pandemic panic about.

ParticipantThe market reacted badly because the late rejection and kneejerk action on Wagoner is basically bankruptcy with management decision performed by public polling.
The administration has also telegraphed that they will basically interfere with tradition bankruptcy reorganization.
