WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday it was too late to contain the swine flu outbreak in the United States.
CDC acting director Dr. Richard Besser told reporters in a telephone briefing it was likely too late to try to contain the outbreak, by vaccinating, treating or isolating people.
"There are things that we see that suggest that containment is not very likely," he said.
He said the U.S. cases and Mexican cases are likely the same virus. "So far the genetic elements that we have looked at are the same." But Besser said it was unclear why the virus was causing so many deaths in deaths in Mexico and such mild disease in the United States.

Help us, Obama!
How long until they start placing cities and towns into quarantine, surrounded by National Guard, “in the best interests of the greater population”? Should we start to freak out yet?
Seen too many movies, I guess, but nothing would surprise me with Hussein.
Wrong. YESTERDAY!!

SHARE Could sauerkraut be the next chicken soup?
The fermented food has been getting a lot of buzz lately, after scientists in Seoul claimed that 11 of 13 infected chickens started to recover from the avian flu after being fed an extract of kimchi, a Korean dish similar to sauerkraut, according to a BBC report.
With fear of a possible bird flu pandemic growing, sales of kimchi and sauerkraut have spiked in many areas of the world, various news reports state.

Maybe you should read “The Pinocchio Syndrome”. That would really freak you out.
Not that I’m recommending it. It was the most evil thing I have ever read. Would never read that author again.
Naw...they will just come in those scary white suits and take you to one of those special FEMA camps. You won’t be permitted stay in your own home.
Yes, it is Jorge Arbusto’s fault. He wanted to Mexicanize America and refused to do his Constitutional duty of protecting us from invasion from the south.
What are hospitals going to do. Do they test with a Flu A/B test and then if it is positive send it to a state health lab where they send it to the CDC lab? How will they identify if a patient has this subset of flu?
Thanks NAFTA and Mexico.
Promed is a site that has the cdc info on it,,my info is from a cdc source.
Good time to stock up on some soup, for sure.
Sounds like a nasty combination of swine, bird, & human virus.
Site is promedmail.org. It has the bulletins from cdc and those about the new flu.
“We’re All Gonna OINK die!!” PING!
WHY start a scare in the first place then??
Most of the time these scary warnings prove groundless!
Simply to tells us if it's too late or too early.
Darwin is gonna take care of the illegal alien support network in the USA.
From what I can glean from reading different news stories today, health authorities were telling healthcare officials to be swabbing anyone showing flulike symptoms. I can’t remember if that was only in CA and TX or everywhere in the US.
I know this info is not trickling down, because I’ve heard from at least two nurses now whose hospitals (one in TX) who hasn’t gotten this word.
