Mexican Flu Update:

WHO: Swine Flu Alert Closer to Pandemic 64 countries, 18,965 cases, 117 deaths (mostly US & Mexico) "'We still are waiting for evidence of really widespread community activity in these countries, and so it's fair to say that they are in transition and are not quite there yet, which is why we are not in phase 6 yet,' Fukuda said."

NYC Reports Two New Deaths From Swine Flu Both aged 25-64, 553 total cases, 341 hospitalizations

Swine Flu In All 50 States More than 10,000 US residents confirmed infected. Confirmed cases represent about 1 in 20 of actual cases. (JWR Adds: I guess its a little to late to pull a "Madagascar.")
