MEXICO CITY, April 24 (Reuters) - A dangerous strain of flu never seen before has killed up to 60 people in Mexico and spread into the United States, where several people were reported ill. [ID:N24524032] Here are some questions and answers about the virus: HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED? Mexico has confirmed 20 deaths from the flu and has 40 other possible fatalities and 1,004 people reported infected. Most of those who died are aged between 25 and 45. In California and Texas, eight people were infected with the new strain, but all of them have recovered. WHAT KIND OF FLU IS IT AND HOW IS IT SPREADING? The virus is an influenza A virus, carrying the designation H1N1 and is spreading from person to person. It contains DNA from avian, swine and human viruses, including elements from European and Asian swine viruses, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC.

Just remember, never waste a crisis, and it isn’t even American guns this time!
Hmm, Obama just visited Mexico.
The borders are still open and we may have a pandemic. This is Obama’s Katrina but far worse and the Dems were to blame for Katrina.
Everybody be on your toes because this may be the thing Joe Biden may have blurted out over 4 months ago about a (manufactured) emergency.
We could see marshall law from this.
I posted it earlier today I have to wonder if someone wasn’t passing through Mexico on their way to the border with a leaky thermos and it wasn’t full of chicken soup. I mean the jump so quick like it’s in Mexico City next thing is in California and Texas what it didn’t pass to anyone in between I say it spent sometime in Mexico and when straight across hte border. Some might say I am wearing tinfoil, but I brough mask, latex gloves and three bottles of hand sanitizer today.
You are not tin foil. The psychos are the ones who voted for Obama. It is spreading fast and I would not be suprised if this was planned like the engineered financial meltdown.
This sure sounds like a possible biological warfare weapon to me. Michael Savage was talking about this earlier tonite, and it does make sense to me.
Biggest bioweapons program in Western Hemisphere is rumored to be..... in Cuba.
Secure the border already!
So are the symptoms like those of a regular flu?
It’s only a matter of time before the DHS and BATFE and the Community Organizer will be reporting that 90 percent of the flu is actually being trafficked from the US into Mexico.... along with the 90 percent of the illegal firearms of course.

I’m certainly no virologist, but the DNA combinations in this sounds almost like a “Virus Soup”.......a pinch of this, a dash of that............
Apparently St. Francis Prep students recently returned from a trip to Mexico. If it is swine flu it has already reached the east coast.
Time to get the FEMA camps ready.
Probably man made.
BreakingNews Newspaper Reforma says the chief of the Mexico’s antropologic museum died of swine flu; had direct contact with Obama few weeks ago
My tongue is shredded from biting back a reply to that bit of news.
Yes of course you are right but as with most flu’s it is the secondary infections that kill most people secondary ‘bacterial’ infections.
WCG - I wonder what the incubation period is if the museum chief and BHO met a few weeks ago. Shouldn't he be showing signs of illness my now? (Rhetorical question there). Thanks for the info.
