While experts believe Mexico is the epicenter of the outbreak, they don't know if another virus might be circulating in Mexico that could be compounding the problem. The Mexican death rate sounds bad. But it's possible that far more than 1,000 people have been infected with the virus.

Genetic analysis of virus samples in the two countries is continuing. The CDC says tests results show the U.S. and Mexican viruses are essentially the same, but some experts have not ruled out the possibility that the virus is changing as it leaks across the border to the north.
