Meet the child known as "patient zero" by his doctors -- 5-year-old Edgar Hernandez, who survived the earliest documented case of swine flu in an outbreak that, officials say, has now spread across four continents.

His mother blamed the virus on a huge pig farm in the neighborhood. Officials have conducted tests at the farm owned by U.S. company Smithfield Foods, and those tests came back negative.

Earliest case of swine flu tucked away in Mexico, officials say - CNN.com

and how many "swine flu" cases are entering the USA illegally?

Mexico seems to be having a outbreak of the Swine Flu, the students that got sick in NYC had just come back from a vacation in Mexico.

Mexico may be a nice vacation location but I would not go right now.

Strictly from the Fwiw Dept., and it may be be, but several "news articles/blogs" talk about it being a "combo virus" of 4 influenzas,
e.g. from this blog:

"I am not a medical specialist in the area of infectious disease, but I have studied microbiology, genetics and a considerable amount of material on pandemics. What seems suspicious to me is the hybrid origin of the viral fragments found in H1N1 influenza. According to reports in the mainstream media (which has no reason to lie about this particular detail), this strain of influenza contains viral code fragments from:

• Human influenza
• Bird Flu from North America
• Swine flu from Europe
• Swine flu from Asia
This is rather astonishing to realize, because for this to have been a natural combination of viral fragments, it means an infected bird from North America would have had to infect pigs in Europe, then be re-infected by those some pigs with an unlikely cross-species mutation that allowed the bird to carry it again, then that bird would have had to fly to Asia and infected pigs there, and those Asian pigs then mutated the virus once again (while preserving the European swine and bird flu elements) to become human transmittable, and then a human would have had to catch that virus from the Asian pigs — in Mexico! — and spread it to others. (This isn’t the only explanation of how it could have happened, but it is one scenario that gives you an idea of the complexity of such a thing happening)."

And, for the Grassy Knoll Gang, if one GOOG's "Swine Flu Origins" a dozen
pages worth of blog/"news" sites pop up with a bushel basket full of
conspiracy theories...It will be interesting to finally hear the CDC's "analysis", as they promised, in a week or so.

He spread the virus while flying Da- plane over NYC.

You'll be happy to know I am looking at alternate vacation plans! I'll be safe.

But if I get the "flu" and pass away, who am I willing my X5 to?
