Call this recent Influenza whatever you want; Mexican flu 2009, or Swine flu it is a spreading disease
It does not matter how you call the illness; Mexican flu, or Novel flu; it will not change the harm this infection will have on the world’s populace.
For simplistic purposes following the established pattern that the world has been using we will call this new virus the Mexican flu the same way that these flu epidemics have taken on a locality name such as Spanish Flu, Asian Flu, Hong Kong flu etc.
With the world wide growth of the Mexican flu and deaths in 2 nations in the same region, the World Health Organization has raised the epidemic alert to pandemic level 5. This level indicates that this organization believes the growth of the Mexican flu to infect the world is imminent.
For your safety you should read the following W.H.O. Checklist:
World Health Organization (W.H.O.)
Department of Communicable Disease
Surveillance and Response
Global Influenza Programme
WHO checklist for influenza pandemic preparedness planning. Starts out with “Some time in the future.” (Note: that some time is now!)
At a Presidential News Conference about the Mexican Flu, April 29, the president is asked “if the we should close the border?” President Obama says, “Wash your hands, take precautions but because this is a new strain we have to be cautious, but not to panic.” He does not think we should close the border.
An agent who was a member of the security advance team for President Obama’s recent trip to Mexico is suspected of having contracted the Mexican flu and he passed it on to his family in Anne Arundel County, MD. The agent is on the staff of Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who traveled with Obama to Mexico on April 16. He appears to have transmitted the flu to his wife, son and nephew, press secretary Robert Gibbs said.
Just the discussion and disagreement of how to properly name the pandemic of the Mexican flu 2009 indicates that even this little item will cause controversy in the world today. The worst of the Mexican flu of 2009 is still ahead of us. We hope that the governments of the world get their acts together and concentrate on what is important, saving human lives.
