Mexico can handle a new H1N1 outbreak

The World Health Organization (WHO) said yesterday that it believes Mexico will be capable of controlling a second wave of the H1N1 human influenza virus. They also commended the Mexican authorities and the population's ability to handle the surge of the pandemic.

To date, the national Secretariat of Health (SSA) has confirmed 50,234 cases of the H1N1 virus in Mexico, 328 of which have been fatal.

The H1N1 human influenza virus has caused the deaths of at least 5,000 people and has infected over 414,945 people worldwide.


Unfortunately, this likely means no surprise swine-flu vacation. Shucks.
