The boy who was the first person in the U.S. to die of the Mexican flu (this morning) crossed the border for medical help.

“But....but.....I thought Obama has already rid the world of the threat.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

He did promise to do so, he said at Denver that he would defeat poverty, disease and climate change and yet we have people with no income, a growing threat from the flu and AlGore is still screaming about global warming. Obama is a failure!

Do you know if he crossed legally or illegally?

Does anybody know anything about the validity of this article on the involvement of the government in the manufacture of a similar virus?

http://www.oxysilver.com/mexican_flu_2009-special_report_by_dr._leonard_horowitz.pdf

It comes on the heel of Baxter releasing a flu vaccine which contained LIVE Avian flu virus at the end of February.

I don't want to believe there is something very sinister about this but when you have 4 different viral fragments from 2 continents combining in never before seen fashion, it is extremely worrisome.

Consider it a bailout for the funeral industry.

My 2 sons and a daughter had RSV. My sons nearly died and are very asthmatic to this day.

Nasty stuff.

It makes you a little paranoid of even regular colds when they almost die of RSV.

The past 2 years, I’ve gotten worse because my 1 daughter with brain injury had her first grand mal seizure when she had a cold.

My asthmatic daughter has had a very bad year this year. Over the winter, she had 3 illness that have made her asthma flare up for 2 weeks at a time. Not little flare ups, we’re talking the full blown get out the nebulizer and waking up in the middle of the night attacks.

I was really looking forward to being done with flu season, and now we have this stupid bug going around.

This virus is not killing fast enough to be classified lethal. It does not sound as though it has mutated to a hot strain or we would have heard horror stories by now. Or we are not getting the whole story. I once again point out that only Mexicans are dying, A deficiency in their blood make up?

That I don’t know. All I heard was that apparently he was a baby and was brought by someone. I’d be surprized if they didn’t come across illegally, because, apparently, it’s not really illegal to cross the border without a visa or going through customs. So why bother?

But so far it doesn’t have a rapid spread rate, and so far they aren’t really taking any measures other than trying really hard to spread panic. So far this is just another flu only with good PR.

Are you KIDDING? The first case was April 1st and now it is being confirmed in ten or more countries. In under a month.

This is incredibly rapid, as has always been expected for the next pandemic, btw.

"This was 12 years ago, and they now have a treatment at least for preemies, but only preemies get the treatment."

That treatment runs $5,000/shot and has to be taken monthly during RSV season (Oct-Mar). I have a preemie and my co-pay was $1,000/month.

Number of countries is immaterial, what matters is number of people which frankly isn’t that many, and we have no idea if the first case was April 1st, that’s when the first case was IDENTIFIED but we have no idea how long this flu bug has been crawling around in people that didn’t go to the doctor.
