No less a tragedy, but its a Mexicans death on USA soil - its more accurately part of the Mexican death toll.
I don't know how they tally these stats, but to be relevant, I'd say it should only count as a US death if the person got the disease here. Getting it elsewhere and coming here and dying shouldn't add to our number - although it will certain increase the number of case we have. OR an American getting the disease in another country and dying there should be added to that country's number. We need to see what numbers are relevant to how fast the disease is spreading locally.
