President. Obama said "An infant in Texas has died as a result of this virus. And my thoughts and prayers and deepest condolences go out to the family, as well as those who are ill and recovering from this flu."
President Obama recommended that schools with confirmed or suspected cases of the disease “strongly consider temporarily closing.” “This is obviously a serious situation, serious enough to take the utmost precautions,” Mr. Obama said.


A 2 year old had died and they have blamed the death on the Hybrid virus.
This is considered the first 'Swine Flu' fatality in the United States.
"A 23-month-old child in Texas has died from the new H1N1 swine flu, becoming the first death from swine flu reported outside Mexico, the country hardest hit by the influenza outbreak. A health official said the baby was Mexican and was in the United States for medical treatment."

Well, once again...it seems this hybrid virus is hitting the Mexican citizens really hard.
Like i said in my previous posts...deaths and infections would rise in the coming days. Canada has reported more infections; In Canada, seven new cases were confirmed Tuesday — two in Alberta, four in Ontario and one in British Columbia.
Germany has reported three infections and their neighbor Austria has reported one infection.
The World Health Organization(W.H.O) is going to have an emergency meeting later this Wednesday.
Countries that have confirmed infections include : United States, New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Austria, Spain, The United Kingdom, Israel, Scotland and many others.

Let me tell you once more: There is no need for panic if you are prepared.
Again....even if the virus does start spreading more, if you are prepared you have absolutely no reason to worry whatsoever.

They have supposedly confirmed "Patient Zero", a 5 year old boy who is thought to be the first who was infected.
The boy, Edgar Hernandez, has recovered from the hybrid virus and his mother claims a pig farm (granjas carroll) Might be responsible, because people around her said the farms were dirty and causing respiratory problems with some residents. Granjas Carroll is 50 percent owned by American company 'Smithfield foods'.
"It was confirmed on Monday that Edgar was the first known sufferer of swine flu".
However, the farm is denying any wrongdoing and claim all their pigs were vaccinated against swine flu. Residents of the nearby town however have protested before because of the putrid smell and the pig waste that they believed was damaging their health and giving them respiratory infections.

Mexico City has shut down the majority of it's restaurants and public venues.
This is causing financial losses of up to 777 Million dollars a Day.
If the Virus keeps infecting more people....Mexico will suffer a lot of financial losses, their Peso will hit a new low. They will start borrowing and using up money from the International Monetary Fund(I.M.F).
"Mexico is more likely to draw on a $47 billion credit line from the International Monetary Fund after the deadly swine flu outbreak sparked the peso’s biggest tumble in six months, according to Barclays Capital Inc."

According to Mexican News sources...in the last few hours they have confirmed 23 New cases of swine flu in Mexico.
You have to remember that the incubation period is around 3-6 days, so there is no doubt we will see more deaths and more infections in the coming days.
The World Health Organization has now refused to try and contain the virus.
“Because the virus is already quite widespread in different locations, containment is not a feasible option,” said Dr. Keiji Fukuda, the organization’s deputy director general."

The World Health Organization(W.H.O) remains the Pandemic level at 4.
They have said if the virus spreads more, they will possibly raise it to Phase 5, which is one level away from 6, a world pandemic.


Check back tomorrow for more updates.
