What remains befuddling is the hard shot against Mexico but little against the United States. If Canada was alone attacked, the H1N1 flu could be stopped. Travel warnings have been issued against Mexico but none against the USA.
Remind yourself that during the SARS scare, the United States government issued a travel warning against all Canada coast to coast. Since the health system in the United States is antiquated in global terms, any infiltration of a contagion moves quickly into the that population. Public health has unique advantages.
By all rights with the United States having about 50% of the confirmed cases of H1N1 flu, travel warnings to the United States should be issued. The Harper government lacks the balls to do that. They've been neutered since the swearing in ceremony. Simply ban travel or issue a quarantine
The Chinese government has it right. All travelers from Mexico now will be in quarantine for a week. Now that should slow the spread of the virus.
