Found this from AP, Early swine flu victim's widow not told of disease This dude was a brick layer and traveling all over before he succombed to the disease. It sounds like Mexico is dropping the ball in doing much investigation and/or stemming the tide by treating family members of the deceased.

"XONACATLAN, Mexico (AP) — The 39-year-old bricklayer fell ill two weeks ago and became one of the first Mexicans to die of swine flu. But no health worker has come to his home outside Mexico City to offer medicine or ask about the neighbors' pigs.

In fact, Gerardo Leyva Lolis' widow says nobody even told her he died of swine flu until The Associated Press informed her the case had been confirmed by the director of the hospital where he was rushed last week.

The family's experience raises troubling questions about Mexico's response to the epidemic and one of its greatest mysteries: why the disease is killing people in Mexico, but so far nowhere else."..............

Whoa, I think that reporter answered his own question if what he reported is true.
