SARS revisited??!!

S words - SARS, Swine flu, what next! An interesting article crossed my path that stated that this flu began at a pig farm that is of American origin - one of those that went south of the border for not only cheap labour but the ability to get around the stricter guidelines of the health board in the US. The living conditions of these poor pigs on this farm was inhumane and extremely unhealthy for the surrounding environment which was a local community where this little boy first contacted the infectious flu but survived.
So Mexico's lesson in this is to enforce the health standards and restrictions and not receive payoffs to look the other way. The end cost is huge to us all!
