It will be interesting to see how the public reacts if any of these non-Mexico cases end up fatal. Right now I think a lot of people are just dismissing the deaths in Mexico because it’s Mexico and they’re practically a third world country. People die from all kinds of sicknesses there that are easily treatable but turn fatal because of sub-standard care. A few people start dropping dead in Europe or the US from this and you’ll probably see full on panic. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-swine-flu-thread/66758.md?page=2)
