Actually, there is news of it in the USA. Just google it and you should find a couple of newspapers about it (I just googled it). Also, there is talk of all government offices being closed.
Not all schools closed today, I heard on the radio (I live in Mexico) that one school's headmistress refused to close the school until she got a written report from the SecretarÃa de Salud.
Yes, I believe it should be told to the world. The more people we get investigating this strange new type of infuenza, the sooner we can get a quick cure to all the people over here. |

Yup, no school today :D
Anyways the epidemic is kinda odd. An unkown influenza Virus that's killed 20 people in 5 days (yes 5 days). Now that number is a bit off the normal.
They won't warn the world until this actually gets out of hand. I have an uncle that works in Hospital Los Angeles (one of the best hospitals in Mexico) and he says they've already had 3 cases there.
Something weird's going on. They are planning to call out school for the next week too. anyways I'm out of Mexico City, things are getting too crazy here. |

I´m from Toluca a city with the ill, it´s been quite strange ´cause some weeks ago i heard a lot of cases about pneumonia now we think it was the swine flu, perhaps we have more cases than the government admit we are afraid.
As I´m an elementary and universitary teacher I can tell you closing the schools is the right thing to do, just a simple sarampion I had to send home more than 20 students in my elementary class in order to prevent a mayor infection.
Sadly in MExico our culture about health is poor we go to the school no matter what, and scholar system is so crowded that I have had more than 60 11 yer- old boys in one class, can you imagine so? |

You bet it's a darn huge problem... over a 1000 cases have been filed by now not all confirmed yet to see.This is crazy... scary more likely... it's in the air.. they dont know who has it and who doesnt.. if it's just a flu or the actual kliller desease... there is an international airport in one of the top ten biggest cities in of the world that hasnt been closed.. so like they said.. "by now it may be too late" even now that they've found out what is going on it remains on duty.. dont take it for granted you all... follow through and listen to what the experts tell you to do.. if you wanna know more about it google it.. but look into it and find out. they havent found cure yet.. this is unknown... a mix of viruses from pigs,birds and humans from asia,europe and america .. never seeen before.. this is bad =( and yes there are news all over .. i see it in every channel.. |

That Cabochick girl must live in the moon......... I can't believe how some people can be SO ignorant. We may not be the world's superpower but WE DO have vaccination campaigns all over the country -- and not only for influenza but for ALL kind of diseases. And we often have influenza shots given out every year but, if that girl was a bit more brilliant, she would know that a single vaccine DOES NOT (simply CANNOT) include all the existing varieties of the virus, so people can get a shot comprising varieties 1-2-5-7 and get infected by variety 8..... WHAM.
The epidemic isn't too spread yet and that's why measures are being taken. But I just read that the most serious cases were found in TX and CA........ yes, in FIRST WORLD COUNTRY USA....!!!! WOW, don't they have vaccination campaigns over there??????? what an uncivilized country......
I don't think this should cause people to get paranoid, apparently this is still not widely spread and it can still be controlled if basic precautions are taken. |

there are people in the jewsa who have the same flu.
it is not really a big problem, only about 20 people in the entire country have died because of it. the flu is up about 40% from normal.
the government doesn't have any more vaccines so they are being cautious. but the problem is almost over.
the issue is america is the dangerous one: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601086&sid=aav4D6XQhIg0&refer=latin_america |

WHO (World Health Organization) gives numbers of 800 sick and 57-60 dead in Mexico City alone.
Schools are shut down and all people have been advised to limit their movements to only the necessary.
There are 7 reported cases in the US. Also, the cases in Mexico were noticed since the end of March.
I'm not leaving the city. All that is needed is some common sense and we will be fine. Face masks, washing our hands after using public transport, taking some vitamin C. If we are sick then we shouldn't leave the house. All that. |

Gee, I'm in mexico city and I'm confused, locked up in my house and confused. They give out so different information. In the media they are saying it is serious but controlled but everybody has a different version in the web and I think in the rest of the world:
-the political complot
-the end of the world (apocalypses)
-mexican authorities suck and we'll die, they are hiding lots of deaths
-everything is fine they are distracting us from selling all our oil to the us or justifying the ultimate intervention
-they wanted to kill obama
-It's big but controlled by the authorities
Crazy world! |

Just be carefull, these Influenza is not a new virus, this is what happend before, (SORRY IS IN SPANISH)
Se cree que ha sido una de las más letales pandemias en la historia de la humanidad. Muchas de sus vÃctimas fueron adultos jóvenes y saludables, a diferencia de otras epidemias de gripe que afectan a niños, ancianos o personas debilitadas.
La enfermedad se observó por primera vez en Fort Riley, Kansas, Estados Unidos el 11 de marzo. Un investigador asegura que la enfermedad apareció en el Condado de Haskell, Kansas en enero. Los aliados la llamaron Gripe española porque la pandemia recibió una mayor atención de la prensa en España que en el resto del mundo, ya que España no se vio involucrada en la guerra y por tanto no censuró la información sobre la enfermedad.
Los cientÃficos han empleado muestras de tejido de vÃctimas congeladas para reproducir el virus para su estudio. Dada la extrema virulencia del brote y la posibilidad de escape accidental (o liberación intencionada) de la cuarentena, hay cierta controversia respecto a las bondades de estas investigaciones. Una de las conclusiones de la investigación fue que el virus mata a causa de una tormenta de citocinas, lo que explica su naturaleza extremadamente grave y el poco común perfil de edad de las vÃctimas, empieza como una simple gripa y de ahi se propaga hasta por contacto de mano. |

HOLA...SABEMOS QUE EXISTE UNA CALIFICACION DE LA OMS PARA LOS DIFERENTES GRADOS DE UNA EPIDEMIA...CUALES SON LOS PARAMETROS EN QUE SE APOYAN PARA ESTAS MEDICIONES...?? PODEMOS SUPONER COMO UNA POSIBILIDAD EL QUE ALGUNA VACUNA CONTRA LA INFLUENZA SE HAYA APLICADO EN MAL ESTADO .....Y HECHARLE LA CULPA A LOS CERDOS...???..
RECORDEMOS QUE UNA VACUNA ESTA HECHA DE LA MISMA CEPA ...... |

This is LILI's answer translated into English:
I live in the cd. of Mexico, and I can tell you that on Friday suspended classes in schools, offices closed early, people stay in their homes, not out, the streets are deserted despite being Saturday, cinemas, concerts and events have closed. in the streets people use to buy and give face mask on the subway and streets in the day communicated the government sends warning to the population, a cousin who works epidemiologia said that doctors, nurses and many patients have died.
Just ask God to help us because it seems to be very serious and is likely to become pandemic.
According to this reported epidemic began in United States and I think they do not say much in order not to create panic here as in Mexico City.
Luck and if safety measures can do it, that this Canyon.
======================================...
I think this is much worse than is being reported. Over 1300 infected and the official death toll at 81, currently. I've heard reports that the numbers are botched and the death toll is over 200. It's most likely going to get much worse, real soon.
We'll know for sure early next week. |

THATS RIGHT!!
..EVERYBOBY IS GETTING CRAZY WITH IT!
AND THEY DO HAVE A REASON!
WE DONT KNOW IF THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENTS JUST WANTS TO TRICK US OR IF THIS FOR REAL!
WE HAVE TO BE AWARE THOUGH!!!
WE DONT WANT TO TAKE ANY RISK!
PEOPLE IS DYING!
THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HERE IN THE USA TALKING ABOUT IT AT SCHOOLS, ON TV AND ON THE RADIOS!
THIS IS SOMETHING TO BE AWARE OF!
THIS IS SOMETHING DANGEROUS FOR THE WORLD! |

well i live in Los Angeles and i just heard about it in the news today. but if it had started long before, i think its a bad thing that we are hearing about this today. |
|
OMFGZ! ._.

Yeah well it is weird that there are no news about it in the USA, here I see something new about the swine flu every hour, it's critical. On Saturday the Universidad de Guadalajara suspended classes Monday & Thursday but now I think there won't be school anywhere until May 6th, and yeah night clubs are also closing, everything is closing, I heard that the airports are closing too but I don't think that's true.
Anyway, take care (: , even if things aren't as bad in USA as they are in here you should prevent, you know wash your hands often, eat vitamin C, avoid touching your mouth/nose/eyes etc, stay away from crowded places, etc... |

Yo vivo en la cd. de México, y les puedo decir que el viernes suspendieron clases en las escuelas, las oficinas cerraron temprano, la gente se queda en sus casas, no sale, las calles están desiertas a pesar de ser sábado, los cines, los conciertos y eventos han cerrado. en las calles la gente usa tapabocas que compra y regalan en el metro y en las calles, en el dÃa el gobierno manda comunicados alertando a la población, un primo que trabaja el epidemiologia dice que Doctores, enfermeras y muchos pacientes han muerto.
Solo le pedimos a Dios que nos ayude porque al parecer es muy serio y es probable que se convierta en pandemia.
Según comunicados esta epidemia empezo en Estados Unidos y creo que no dicen mucho para no crear pánico como aqui en la Cd. de México.
Suerte y si pueden tomar medidas de seguridad haganlo , por que esta Cañón. |
