It says he’s from Brownsville, TX

We had plans for trying to swoop in and knockout or quench an outbreak if it were occurring far from our borders. That's not the case here," Besser told a telephone briefing of Nevada-based health providers and reporters. "The idea of trying to limit the spread to Mexico is not realistic or at all possible." "Border controls do not work. Travel restrictions do not work," WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl said in Geneva,

@#^^*^$%^@#*&%#$@# BS!

Yes, the toddler who died was Mexican and from Brownsville. Brownsville is on the Texas/Mexican border right on that bottom tip of the state. It's 350+ miles from there to Houston. If they drove, they would have stopped for gas, food, and potty breaks along the way so most likely spread the disease especially if the child had dirty diapers. This could very well have been a family who lived somewhere in central Mexico but came across the border for medical treatment and again, who knows how many they infected along the way.

CDC says Texas swine flu death is first in U.S.

Child died in a Houston hospital after being transported from Brownsville

Yes, nice to know that Houston is now infected. The child died in Houston, not San Antonio as originally indicted:

Kathy Barton, spokeswoman for the Houston Department of Health and Human Services, did not say which hospital treated the child or give any other details about the toddler ... Barton said Houston should expect to see cases originate here.

The child PROBABLY went to Texas Childrens Hospital for infectious disease control...

AND, of course, we can trust that NO OTHER children or staff had been infected at that hospital or along the route from Brownsville ...< /sarc>

It'll only be a few days before it starts popping up in Houston now -- it's already there.

Nice ... so very nice...
