New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg also says two people are hospitalized

"Many hundreds" of schoolchildren are sick with suspected cases of swine flu, said New York City Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden.

Also Tuesday New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said two people are hospitalized with suspected swine flu. He said the hospitalizations are separate from the outbreak at a private school in Queens.

The mayor says the hospitalized are a child in the Bronx and an adult in Brooklyn.

Does anyone understand why it's killing Mexicans but no one else? It can't be two different strains, one attacking Mexicans, the other tourists, businessmen and (when they get home) everyone else...

It's not only killing in Mexico. A 23 months old baby died of the flu in Texas.

I wonder if that was a hispanic baby. There are a lot of hispanic people in Texas. There might be a pattern that it is more deadly to hispanics for some reason.

I was listening yesterday to the radio and a Dr. from the CDC said that the earliest a vaccine could be available was around September.

Well, once the vaccin on the market, there will the dog flu or the horse flu. So they can start all over again

It's probably just poverty and lack of public health awareness. The danger seems to be secondary pneumonia if the flu is left untreated (just like the 1918 pandemic). People need Tamiflu or Relenza and then antibiotics early on, the former to mitigate the symptoms, the latter to prevent or reduce the severity of the pneumonia. I saw a WHO doctor on TV earlier who said: "It's not the flu that kills you: it's living in a third world nation."
