Forwarded from a FReeper FRiend:
“I work as a resident doctor in one of the biggest hospitals in Mexico City and sadly, the situation is far from “under control”. As a doctor, I realise that the media does not report the truth. Authorities distributed vaccines among all the medical personnel with no results, because two of my partners who worked in this hospital (interns) were killed by this new virus in less than six days even though they were vaccinated as all of us were. The official number of deaths is 20, nevertheless, the true number of victims are more than 200. I understand that we must avoid to panic, but telling the truth it might be better now to prevent and avoid more deaths.”

Two in Dickinson County Test Positive for Swine Flu
April 25, 2009 07:28 PM MDT
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment confirms two cases of swine flu in Kansas.
The two people are a husband and wife from Dickinson County. The KDHE says one of the patients recently traveled to Mexico, flying in and out of Wichita. Both people work in Saline County. Neither of the patients was hospitalized - one is still ill and being treated. The other is recovering.
The couple has the same strain of swine flu that’s killed dozens in Mexico and sickened thousands in that country, California and Texas. The head of the World Health Organization says the outbreak has “pandemic potential,” and it may be too late to contain the outbreak.
