Mexican Swine Flu

By: Andrew Horton

81 people have died in Mexico since the outbreak of Swine Flu; 20 are confirmed to have been killed by it and 61 are suspected to have died from it. This flu has also spread beyond Mexico to Texas, California, Kansas, New York, Ohio and Canada. The fear is that this could become a pandemic. The WHO has stated, in an attempt to allay fears, that the world is better prepared to deal with this as a result of stockpiling of anti-viral drugs for bird flu.
