It’s strange that Mexico is the inception nation for a flu virus.
It sure does Seem that Spanish speaking areas are furtile grounds for deadly diseases and viruses.

If this is manmade and state sponsored, a direct attack on the US would almost force Zero to respond. If the target seems to be Mexico, he may be able to get away with not doing anything.
(potential attackers would know that the tourists and illegals would take it across the border).
Yes because they don't raise pigs, geese, and ducks down there. Just jalapenos and corn.

SPECULATION:
It’s not so strange if you consider that this may be a biological ‘attack’ (it’s still a possibility).
It’s no secret that our porous border provides a pretty easy-to-penetrate one for those wishing us harm - mainly Muslim Islamic Terrorists...
Not to get all “Tom Clancy” here, but there is a chance that an operative didn’t get into the US “in time”, or that there was an accident in “transport”, or a clumsy “kitchen chemist” or something at work there in Mexico, either...
This scenario isn’t completely “off the mark” as far as feasibility either. Our military and government have been aware of threats of biological weapons for a long time (remember Mustard Gas in WWI). Plus, there are pro-terrorist folks out there saying that this is “Allah’s will against the US” which is strange, again considering the probable “epicenter” was in Mexico. As I said on another thread regarding the terrorists “rejoicing” in this - they are either taking credit, or they are simply total fools... Who knows with those folks...
Oh boy, are the people going to crawl out from the grassy knoll on that one, guy. :)
I thought the same thing with a slightly different twist:
Why are so many people dying there and nowhere else?
There are many case now of travelers infected and bringing the virus back with them and none of them are dead.
Agreed, we do have better medical care - at least until the government gets a hold of it, but we are doing nothing different that I see.
I believe that is the key question.
