...if Andy is to be believed, 2/3 of the population of Mexico will be dead (hopefully buried) and 1/2 the U.S population will be dying. That makes the lines at airport security a breeze.

No kidding.

I read this morning that patient zero is a small child in a tiny village in Veracruz where this all started.

Here is the article

Heard that early this morning and it's very sad, but it's still way short of the 36,000 that have died since January of regular flu.

Hey Beave,

The toddler was not a U.S. citizen, said Kathy Barton, a spokeswoman for the Houston Department of Health and Human Services, adding she could provide no other details

Ummm...I believe that is 36,000 per year, not 36,000 since January.

This swine flu has my mom all in a tizzy (not like that's hard to do anyways). She just heard about the baby's death from it and she's and trying to protect herself. She wants to know who to call about closing the border so we don't get any more cases here in the US.

But, it's all because of uncontrolled immigration and illegal immigrants and it's also Obama's fault.

She sounds like an uninformed person...a perfect candidate for Obama to recruit under his wing and convince her that, among other things, national healthcare is the solution.
