This is getting bad, but it is fascinating to watch it develop.  We have a front seat to something that nobody has seen before (at least not with this much detail).

hiya...WHO has called it a national emergency and is asking world member countries to look for this virus...they are sending out over 140 virus samples to countries Labs.
 
They did know about a novel swine flu strain...  2006.  It will be interesting to compare the new strain with the 2006 strain.
 
 
The Media wants  to know when the White House knew...

Mexico may isolate flu patients, inspect homes

MEXICO CITY (AP) - The Mexican government has issued a special decree clarifying Health Department powers to isolate patients and to inspect homes, incoming travelers and baggage to curb an outbreak of swine flu.

Officials say the decree gives clear legal authority to health department workers who might otherwise face lawsuits.

The decree published Saturday says President Felipe Calderon has authority to invoke the new powers when the situation warrants.

Mexico is struggling with a new strain of swine flu that has killed 68 and sickened more than 1,000. The World Health Organization declared the outbreak a "public health emergency of international concern."
