From New Mexico ABC TB News station, KVIA website comes information on May 29, 2009 that Mexico might have had as many as 23,000 people infected with the Mexican Flu before they made the announcement that there was an epidemic.
Former president of Cuba, Fidel Castro publicly accused the Mexican government from holding back on making the announcement of the Mexican Flu outbreak until US President Barack Obama visited that country on his way to the Summit of the Americas in Trinidad on April 16th.

It seems quite likely that the US and Mexican governments are playing down the severity of this Influenza as there is no doubt that it affects both economies at a period in the economic cycle that we are in at this time. There also is no doubt that the economic cycles go up and they go down and this one will recover in spite of government intervention. Let’s hope that there are enough healthy people left to enjoy it when we go back into the upswing.
From the same website a rather alarming announcement by the World Health Organization (WHO,) “The World Health Organization said Thursday that up to 2 billion people could be infected by swine flu if the current outbreak turns into a pandemic. The agency said a pandemic typically lasts two years.”
