MEXICO CITY, April 24 (Reuters) - The majority of the people killed in Mexico's fatal flu outbreak were adults between 25 and 45 years old, a Mexican health official said on Friday.

"The majority were young adults between 25 and 45 years old," the official said under the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the press.

Mexican officials said 20 people had been killed by the outbreak in Mexico and 1,004 people had been infected. (Reporting by Mica Rosenberg and Miguel Angel Gutierrez)

A flu pandemic, plus the cartel violence, could easily topple the Mexican government.

You know...not being a Mexican (thank God)...I didn't give this angle much thought, but you could be right.

A deadly strain of swine flu never seen before has broken out in Mexico, killing at least 16 people and raising fears it is spreading across North America.
The World Health Organization said it was concerned about what it called 800 "influenza-like" cases in Mexico, and also about a confirmed outbreak of a new strain of swine flu in the United States.

My research turned up H1N1 was the Spanish Flu. All viruses are defined by subtypes (HxNx) and mutation of that subtype. Spanish Flu (1918) was H1N1 subtype of the Spanish Flu mutation.

This is H1N1 of this specific mutation that probably has some designation.
