Oh and my family members just came back from Mexico 2 days ago

My 5 month old son has swine flu symptoms and I'm at a hospital in Texas and we have been here for 6 hours and have not seen a doctor yet. My son has a temp of 103. I'm on CNN mobile. Maybe Texas isn't taking this seriously!

****************************************************************
In 1974 while in the army I recieved a Swine Flu vacine and came down with the full blown Swine Flu and was quarantined for 3 weeks in the hospital. ****************************************************************

If they are taking this situation "seriously" then why haven't they closed the boarders. And all you liberals that think that's the wrong thing to do I have a suggestion. We'll send all the infected illegals up to your liberal states starting with Janeane Garofalo! You take care of them and worry about getting sick. I am so sick and tired of this crap!

i suppose the obama administration will say that the swine flu outbreak is americas fault, just like america is at fault for everything wrong in this world. obama 2012

So far we have had from the white house (with congress support) pork and now we hear about a new type of pork.... and now, sarcastically also we hear about what... about belt tightening in DC (after, not before, the inauguration's spending spree!!!)...
Talk is cheap, unfortunately the walk is expensive......

'bout time

We shouldn't worry to much about swine flu unless we happen to be Republicans. They are much more susceptible to the disease because of they share so much in common genetically. A pig flu epidemic might be very helpful to America nowadays.

WHO reports tamiflu is effective on this stuff given we can get a doctor appointment within 48 hours, I'd guess urgent cares will be swamped!!!

Just another SARS scare. This will go away, then in a couple of years the media will pick up another fear.

It's not a coincidence that Obama was just there.

What are we really to do? Even if we closed our borders, people still get in and out of here one way or another. It should not escape anyone how serious it is for a city as large as Mexico City to close all schools and universities. Imagine if our city did that? We have to get real. We need to start innoculating or slaughtering pigs and making human vaccines asap. I expect Obama has already begun preparing.

there can be no doubt that in about a week we will learn that the obama is receiving some hind of world medal for singlehandedly cuering those eight people of the swine flu most likely spread around by formef President Bush and Former VP Dick Cheney.

OOPS!! Was it a good idea to go to the land of filth (mexico)
I guess more Americans have to suffer AGAIN because of some foreign nasty ass flu that PIGS get ...Come on PEOPLE WAKE UP
IT is time to send the mexicans and all of the nasty Bird,Swine,drugs, money and any other nasty crap back to their country !!!!
. Sincerly KA

I bet Sarah Palin is already trying to think of a way to make "swine flu" sound like some sort of insult to Republican women.

We should subcontract control of this problem to China. They took control of the SARS problem and maintained their citizens safety. Our folks suggest you wash your hands.

Perhaps China does deserve to be the new world leader...BHO and his cast of fools sure don't.

Never so many threatening health issues.Salmonella ,AIDS,resurgence of TB,etc. Something to ponder:could the influx of immigrants (legal & illegal )whose relationship to hand washing & general cleanliness is not up to standards be a factor ??
Many of them are from countries where regular handwashing is seen as a waste of water .Look at the workers in our restaurants & food plants .....

Ok, notice that the video says "Swine flu SCARE"...because thats exactly what this is, a scare. A report I saw this morning said 900 people in Mexico have been diagnosed with this flu...if that is correct, with only 68 dead, you're looking at a 13% mortality rate or so. Sorry, but at this point, that is not enough to cause a panic like they're trying to. Give me Huanta with a 50% mortality rate, or Ebola which can be as high as 90%...then I'll start to worry. I'd also keep in mind that Mexico probably doesn't have the kind of medical fascilities as the United States, which can also have a huge impact on fatalities.

I would like to know if any of the 8 are American citizen, or are they Mexico citizens???

We are looking for wise men and women to lead us out this insanity, help create a healthier Government.
This so call peoples Government, is too corrupt, infested with false ego, lies and obsess for control and power.

this is another thing that we are getting from illegal immigrants . bring on some more.

Send wooden teeth lou dobbs to seal the borders behind him.

Swine flue AGAIN? What about Bird Flu? What about illness in general? And NO ONE wants to have universal health care? No one wants to make it a nation of healthy people who can get the medical care then need.... and consequently the government will have the funds to do research for such illnesses that come out of no where (so-called)! People... wake up....look at universal health care in Sweden! Do those people fight all these flues? I never hear of it... can't we see a connection there? Please people... stop looking just this side of your noses and start thinking for yourselves. Research, find your answers! Stop being led over the nearest cliff by smooth talking snake oil salesmen!

to be made for the swine flu. It's just another case of his waffling and ineffective leadership. 80 people have died already in Mexico and we need to move on this.

A pandemic may not only kill 20 million people like the last one but will devastate an already sinking economy.

Let's see some leadership from Obama instead of playing with the dogs and glad handing the likes of Chavez.
