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.
First, I asked for a source for your claim that people rarely get sick when they travel. I didn’t say that I didn’t agree, just that I wanted to know how you reached that conclusion. Second, yes the boy came from Mexico, he was visiting legally on a 90 day tourist visa. I doesn’t matter who he was visiting, he was here legally. Also, he had traveled here previously on tourist visas, and returned to Mexico.
In case you haven’t noticed most of the cases so far, are from Americans who traveled to Mexico and returned to the US with the flu. Yes, the Mexicans apparently gave it to the Americans, but they aren’t the only ones bringing it here.People coming to the US from Mexico, whether they are US citizens, legal immigrants, or illegals are increasing the potential that Americans will get this flu.
Finally, the boy was hospitalized in Houston for 10 days, so he did not die 3 days after coming here. He had some medical problems, but they haven’t said what they were. He and his family were shopping at the Galleria in Houston before he became sick. This also took place in early April, so the flu was just beginning to be transmitted from human to human. It is entirely possible that the boy contracted the flu in Mexico, but did not show signs of his illness until he was in the US.
This is obviously a very wealthy Mexican family. They are able to afford air travel for a family of six, and they shop at the Galleria, which is a very upscale mall.
