Fearing a Pandemic of the Flu in Mexico


A couple of months ago I spent a few days in Monterrey.  I visited a public hospital a few times, visiting a close friend who soon passed away.  When I came back to Houston I developed the worst case of the flu ever.  I also ended up with bronchitis and was sick for over a month.  I wonder if there was any connection to what is going on now in Mexico City.  

The entire nation of Mexico is alarmed over the Influenza outbreak.  Most of the newspaper headlines are about the epidemic
