With more and more cases of the swine flu being reported in Mexico and 149 deaths so far, this pandemic has become very dangerous. This is why Mexican authorities are struggling with containing and controlling this disease. One of the measures took by Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova will close the schools from the entire country until at least May 6.
Mexican authorities have received intense criticism for handling this situation, but they are still not taking any responsibility for what has happened. It seems that even though the earliest known case of the swine influenza outbreak has been discovered in the village of La Gloria, Veracruz, in the person of a four-year-old boy, Cordova stated that it is of his belief that the swine flu did not originate in Mexico, but instead it originated in China and that it then infected the U.S. before crossing the border.
Meanwhile, even though traffic bans are not considered to be effective this late in the outbreak, most international authorities advice citizens not to take any trip to Mexico unless it is of critical importance.

Mexico doesn’t have to take any responsibility for this flu. First cases were in San Diego, CA.
Whatever the origins, the conditions in Mexico is what allowed for this virus to evolve into what it is today. Governments have to be made accountable for the conditions of their people, as we will now see how it affects humans globally.
Actually, it originated in Mexico. Health officials failed to do their job and did not report it to WHO. The first reported and inspected case was in San Diego and that person had just returned from Mexico. The US is just more swift at following up on health concerns. You can always tell the epicentre of an outbreak by the number if infected people. Its like following the v-pattern in a fire. Where more damage is seen is where the incident started. Now if we could just get migrant workers to stop pooing in our crops we could stop having ecoli outbreaks as well.
Verification is anticipated late today for the foremost example of to human person transference of swine flu in the UK. It is believed to be a friend of Lain and Dawn Askham, who were the foremost confirmed victims in the United Kingdom and they got together subsequently after their homecoming from honeymoon in United Mexican States. at the start the man was cleared but later on his symptoms kept going he was re tested and was determined to be suffering from Type A flu. Examinations are still in progress but are awaited to confirm swine influenza. This today takes the entire number of swine flu sufferers in the United Kingdom to 8 -that’s 6 in England 2 in Scotland but so far no dyings.
I don’t understand why i shouldn’t travel to Mexico, specifically the Riviera Maya when there isn’t even one confirmed case over there. Would the world discourage ALL travel to the US if the outbreak where mainly in one place? There are more cases in the state where I live–in the COUNTY where i live–than on the Yucatan Peninsula.
There is no question of origination of Swine Flue but efforts are most important to controle as early as possible.
