Obama was correct in saying.. “this is cause for concern not alarm ..”
although we should of closed the boarder on Friday.
Mexican Government has no order or method to track or treat this flu. .
I have the utmost faith in the CDC and the individuals that run it..
I don’t have faith in Nepalitano or the new heath dept appointee AZ governor.
NORMAL FLU.. not Swine flu :
Death rate extrapolations for USA for Flu/pnemonia: 63,729 per year, 5,310 per month, 1,225 per week, 174 per day, 7 per hour,
Swaine Flu….less then 200 infectd world wide as of today .. only 7 confirmed deaths by WHO.,
all were in compromised individuals or from complications due to non treatment..
since this is not containable. as the situation in Mexico gets worse . porous boarders will hasten the effect of moving this flu north .
my comment is spot on ..
____________
from the CDC:
Outbreaks in Mexico
Most reported disease and outbreaks are reported from central Mexico, but outbreaks and severe respiratory disease cases also have been reported from states along the U.S.-Mexico border. None of the U.S. patients traveled to Mexico within 7 days of the onset of their illness.

I said illegals. This country is being exposed to diseases from lots of countries, especially south of the border, other countries don’t immunize their citizens like we do, especially their kids. It’s a huge problem and needs to be addressed without this “racism” yelp that people revert to when it has to be addressed before we all end up with a major pandemic, if we don’t do something about immunization of legal and illegal immigrants..
________________
that is exactly one of the main reasons people want illegal immigration addressed; our citizen’s health can be put in jeopardy by nations who don’t immunize their people. Do you find something wrong with that? Do you know of children or the elderly who can die from exposure to diseases that could have been stopped at the border? Is it “racist” to protect your own kids lives? and in this case it’s people aged 25 to 50 that are most susceptible .

and yes i believe if you break the law you should pay the penalty even if that means death.
if a person is threatened and feels obligated to protect his life, his families life and his property . then yes ,. shot on site IS an option.
if you break the law capital punishment should be an option if the punishment fits the crime . slaps on the wrist deter nothing. accountability for your actions does .
Just to get this out in the open
