“wanted to point out that very seldom do people travel and get sick. The percentages are very low unless they travel to an area that is overwhelmed with contagions. In the last 30 years that I have been traveling, I got sick only once once and in Denver and that was in 1987. Again...VERY SELDOM DO PEOPLE GET SICK WHEN TRAVELING...THEY ARE MORE APT TO BRING THE SICKNESS WITH THEM from where they originate”
I assume that you have a source for this evidence, or at least some evidence other than your own personal experience.
There isn’t enough information on this boy to determine how and why he came to the US. Outside of the fact that he is from Mexico, he got the flu in Mexico, came to Houston via Brownsville, and died in a Houston hospital. Everything else is just speculation.
Speculation? Then you live the life of a hermit. What source do you have that people get sick every time they travel? I didn’t say no one ever gets sick, I said the percentages are low unless you travel to an area that is riddled with disease when you compare that to the amount of traveling done every year. The kid came from Mexico. End of story. There is nothing else to tell. He and his family just increased the chances for Americans to catch this awful flu. I bet they are all quarantined and I bet they are illegal. Just because they were “visiting relatives” doesn’t make the relatives legal residents. My point is simple. The gov. won’t stop people the sick people from bringing it here and even if it is here now, we don’t need to say “oh well” and leave the borders open. In case you don’t get it, its sick Mexicans that are infecting us. We didn’t give it to them, duh! If this child died within 3 days of arriving here, then he was very ill when they crossed the border. Doesn’t take a rocket scientists or a “medic” to see.
