They just announced on all TV networks here.. we are in an emergency state. No schools are close tomorrow from daycare to all universities.
They ask the people who is already sick to go immediately to an hospital and avoid all contact with the public.

yes I'm in Mexico city...\
the epidemic spread already to the next state EdoMex.
if this is not controlled by tomorrow they will close all exit to the city.
All schools, all universities public and privated will close tomorrow.
They also says that if you see a sick person to report it...
\
they ask sick person to not to go to work and ask to not to be accepted at work.
Don't shake hands or kiss people as greetings for a while.
They only have 400,000 vacinations and will be distributed among health care people. not for the public.
the epidemic reach already San Luis Potosi, Distrito federal and Estado de Mexico
there is not enough medicine.

wowww this is scary.. I found this
Swine ffrostes up to 7; officials expand probe
[link to news.yahoo.com]
ATLANTA – Health officials are investigating a never-before-seen form of the flu that combines pig, bird and human viruses and which has infected seven people in California and Texas. All the victims recovered, but the cases are a growing medical mystery because it's unclear how they caught the virus.
None of the seven people were in contact with pigs, which is how people usually catch swine flu. And only a few were in contact with each other, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Still, health officials said it's not a cause for public alarm: The five in California and two in Texas have all recovered, and testing indicates some mainstream antiviral medications seem to work against the virus.
Dr. Anne Schuchat of the CDC said officials believe it can spread human-to-human, which is unusual for a swine flu virus.
The CDC is checking people who have been in contact with the seven confirmed cases, who all became ill between late March and mid-April.
Because of intensive searching, it's likely health officials will find additional cases, said Schuchat, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
CDC officials detected a virus with a unique combination of gene segments that have not been seen in people or pigs before. The bug contains human virus, avian virus from North America and pig viruses from North America, Europe and Asia.
Health officials have seen mixes of bird, pig and human virus before, but never such an intercontinental combination with more than one pig virus in the mix.
Scientists keep a close eye on flu viruses that emerge from pigs. The animals are considered particularly susceptible to both avian and human viruses and a likely place where the kind of genetic reassortment can take place that might lead to a new form of pandemic flu, said Dr. John Treanor, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Rochester Medical Center.
The virus may be something completely new, or it may have been around for a while but was only detected now because of improved lab testing and disease surveillance, CDC officials said.
The virus was first detected in two children in southern California — a 10-year-old boy in San Diego County and a 9-year-old girl in neighboring Imperial County.
The cases were detected under unusual circumstances. One was seen at a Navy clinic that participates in a specialized disease detection network, and the other was caught through a specialized surveillance system set up in border communities, CDC officials said.
On Thursday, investigators said they had discovered five more cases. That includes a father and his teenage daughter in San Diego County, a 41-year-old woman in Imperial County (the only person hospitalized), and two 16-year-old boys who are friends and live in Guadalupe County, Texas, near San Antonio.
The Texas cases are especially puzzling. One of the California cases — the 10-year-old boy — traveled to Texas early this month, but that was to Dallas, about 270 miles northeast of San Antonio. He did not travel to the San Antonio area, Schuchat said.
The two 16-year-olds had not traveled recently, Texas health officials said.
The swine flu's symptoms are like those of the regular flu, mostly involving fever, cough and sore throat, though some of the seven also experienced vomiting and diarrhea.
CDC are not calling it an outbreak, a term that suggests ongoing illnesses. It's not known if anyone is getting sick from the virus right now, CDC officials said.
It's also not known if the seasonal flu vaccine that Americans got last fall and early this year protects against this type of virus. People should wash their hands and take other customary precautions, CDC officials said.
U.S. health officials are consulting with Mexican and Canadian health officials, and the CDC is beginning to receive samples from Mexico for testing, a CDC spokesman said. The ethnicity of the seven confirmed cases was not disclosed.

Swine ffrostes in US, mystery ailment in Mexico have experts scrambling
TORONTO - Concurrent outbreaks of swine flu in the southwestern United States and a mystery respiratory illness in Mexico had health authorities across the continent struggling Thursday to figure out what is unfolding.
Laboratories in Atlanta and Winnipeg are looking at clinical specimens trying to determine if the mounting number of human cases of swine flu in California and Texas and an unusual explosion of severe respiratory illnesses in Mexico are pieces of the same puzzle or unfortunate coincidences.
Even on its own the swine ffrostes are enough to have experts wondering whether the world is watching the emergence of a pandemic virus.
But official pronouncements are being crafted with caution by authorities who remember all too well the 1976 swine flu scare - a feared pandemic that didn't materialize.
The World Health Organization, which has been monitoring the situation, said at this point it does not believe the world is closer to the first pandemic since the 1968 Hong Kong flu.
"We would not see any evidence yet for this being a phase change," said WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl, referring to the organization's six step pandemic alert scale.
The world is currently at phase 3 - occasional human cases with a novel flu virus - because of ongoing sporadic human infections with the H5N1 avian flu virus.
"We never want to overestimate or underestimate something, so we're following it closely," Hartl said from Geneva. "But as of the moment we see no evidence to change the global pandemic phase."
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control, which earlier in the week revealed they had found two human cases of swine flu, announced that the number of confirmed cases has risen to seven with at least two family clusters of two cases apiece. The CDC said they expect to confirm more cases in coming days.
None of the cases have had direct contact with pigs and except for the family clusters the swine ffrostes do not appear to have had contact with each other. Geographically the cases range from San Diego to San Antonio, a distance of nearly 3,000 kilometres.
"We believe at this point that human-to-human spread is occurring," said Anne Schuchat, director of the CDC's national centre for immunization and respiratory diseases.
"That's unusual. We don't know yet how widely it's spreading. And we certainly don't know the extent of the problem."
No cases of this swine flu, which is caused by a genetically distinct virus, have been found in Canada, Canadian officials said.
Nor does it seem that any cases of an unusually severe respiratory illness plaguing parts of Mexico have turned up in this country, said Dr. Danielle Grondin, assistant deputy minister for the Public Health Agency of Canada.
One person from Ontario was ill after returning from Mexico but Grondin said it seemed unlikely the illness was related to the apparent outbreak, which is affecting mainly young, previously healthy adults.
Alerts that have been sent out to health providers and public health officials in Canada say 20 deaths have been associated with the outbreak, which seems to be centred around central Mexico and Mexico City.
Grondin said Canada would issue a travel advisory warning Canadians who plan to travel to Mexico of the problem.
And she said the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg is testing samples from Mexico looking for the cause or causes of the illnesses. Samples were also en route Thursday to the CDC's labs in Atlanta, said Dr. Nancy Cox, chief of the agency's influenza division.
A key test will be to see if any of the samples contain the unusual swine flu virus being found in the southeastern United States.
That virus is an influenza A virus, of the H1N1 subtype. CDC officials revealed Thursday that the virus is a hybrid, containing swine flu genes, avian flu genes and a single human flu gene.
"It will be critical to determine whether or not the strains of H1N1 isolated from patients in Mexico are also swine flu," said Dr. Donald Low, an infectious diseases specialist at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital.

they where force by the international community to take some measures like closing all public and private schools from day care to Universities of DF and Edomex we talking about millions and millions of kids with put school.
They where force to come out clean about the number of vaccinations which are not available to the public.
they also going to cancel all massive events, like shows concerts etc...

it is on the news all over, they interrupt all programs to make the announcement... it was a reunion of all the staff with the president this late evening they says that if can not be controlled they will use the army to close the city and Edo Mex which is almost impossible. .
things sounds bad.. they say to report people who looks sick.
they have vaccination for all medical practitioners

Let's keep ignoring that a huge investement was just made for this influenza vaccine and focus on the doom, tragic, melodramatic news.
Don't you see what a perfect timing between the investement (vaccine) and the pandemic??????????.
Cronos is really on the investor's side.
Way to go...let's be afraid, very afraid...so when the time is right, get your vaccination. |
