As far as I’ve read, no one who has contracted this flu and is living in the US has died.
Only those in Mexico have died, so what are we doing that they’re not doing in Mexico...Tamiflu? Respiratory support while the flu runs it’s course?
Hasn’t there been an outbreak of it at a college in NY as well?

I have a friend in Mexico. He went to the ER once with chest pain and they didn’t do an EKG or labs. Also no biopsy for a suspicious lesion. There is no MRI machine in his small city. Anecdotally, it seems as if their health care delivery is subpar, but I don’t claim to be an expert.

I'd suspect the US students were young and healthy before hand.
We don't have the age break down of the people who died in Mexico.

We have better nutrition and sanitation -- the two most critical factors in disease prevention. Those living in overcrowded, impoverished and polluted Mexico city are at a distinct disadvantage.

Unfair outcomes will be eliminted under Obama care. We will all die together, comrade, when Hillary et al get their way.
