I just heard a Dr. on the radio say that Mexico City is going into panic mode and restrictions on flights into the US should be imposed.

I am begining to think this maybe ‘Captian Trips’:

“The wind had picked up again, it made strange hooting sound in some empty doorway, and farther away he thought he could hear bootheels pacing off the night, rundown bootheels somewhere in the foothills coming to him on the chilly draft of this early morning breeze.
Dirty bootheels clocking their way into the grave of the West.”

If Obama doesn’t seal the border TIGHT then surely someone will introduce impeachment proceedings against him! I know he won’t get convicted, but the embrassment would expose him for what he is!

WOW -- that was quick!

We've all heard examples how people can exhibit symptoms and not actually be sick -- IOW, it's all in their heads. They're aware a bug is going around and they look for any sign they are sick. I sure hope this is the case here!

If the "Mexico Flu" is traveling around to other continents THIS quickly, even with only a 6 percent mortality, many people could die from this one.

I agree with you but at this point in the ongoing travesty, I think he will get away with anything with little or no opposition or even much outcry from our elected representatives.

But this could be the beginning of an awakening that is too late coming.

6% of the world’s population is a whole lot of people.

Yes it is. I hope that despite the initial alarm here tonight, nutritional standards and education will keep the mortality low here in the US. In developing countries, they may not be so lucky.

Such is some of the reports “leaking” out of Mexico — it seems to be worse than is being reported. Read some of the translated comments here:

if it gets going, it won’t be limited to North America. If there’s any up side, it will rip through the Pakistan tribal areas like a blowtorch.

Not likely. The tribal elders will just put out an order to behead any outsiders who appear to be afflicted with the infidel flu.

I would think Waziristan would be among the best places to sit out a pandemic. But the Falkland Islands would be even better (nicer company).

Because that could potentially prevent a crisis?
