    Swine Flu

    Most of you already know about the swine flu which has been spreading in Mexico and now making its way up to the U.S., but in case you do not here is a link to some interesting reading

    http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSTRE53N22820090424?feedType=RSS&feedName=domest icNews&rpc=22&sp=true

    One thing being reported is that a fellow named Felipe Solis greeted Obama in Mexico and died the next day from “symptoms similar to flu”

    "The first case was seen in Mexico on April 13. The outbreak coincided with the President Barack Obama’s trip to Mexico City on April 16. Obama was received at Mexico’s anthropology museum in Mexico City by Felipe Solis, a distinguished archeologist who died the following day from symptoms similar to flu, Reforma newspaper reported. The newspaper didn’t confirm if Solis had swine flu or not." -Bloomberg.com
    Here is the article

    http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/newspid=20601087&sid=aEsNownABJ6Q&refer=worldwide

    I am assuming that if Obama was ill we would have heard about it by now. It is still an interesting thing to follow.

    Highly agreed. It seems nothing good ever comes across that border.

    I found an article that could possibly link the flu in New York:

    NY officials test students for swine flu -report | Markets | Bonds News | Reuters

    Apparently, test's are being done to find out what flu it is.

    I find this all highly suspicious. The border ought to be closed. HOW did these three strains from 3 separate sources manage to become intermingled to form this new flu strain? I wonder about this hysteria being created when this may be nothing.

    Are we being misdirected again?

    I wonder. We may be looking at some elementary form of Hegelian dialectic.
