Interesting links here!

The first case was seen in Mexico on April 13. The outbreak coincided with the President Barack Obama’s trip to Mexico City on April 16. Obama was received at Mexico’s anthropology museum in Mexico City by Felipe Solis, a distinguished archaeologist who died the following day from symptoms similar to flu,

Obama then headed off to the Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago where he shook hands with Chavez.
