Ann This is familiar. On my husband's side of the family----his mother was raised an orphan by two sets of relatives in New York. Both of her parents died in the flu epidemic-------her father was a rising young lawyer in New York----odd, I was pouring through old memorabiia the other evening. Each time I do I pick up another genealogy fact. This is prompting me to post on Many Moose's site as I have some pertinent questions for him and posters there. Would Obama close the borders--------he personally No. Could be if the CDC becomes concerned enough they would demand banning border crossings as well as the medical community demanding the same. The other demand could come from the American Citizens. The article mentioned should travelers curtail going to Mexico? Absolutely, at this stage------I will never ever go back to Mexico------the sickest I have ever been in traveling was in Mexico. I'll never forget getting on the plane to return to Washington area-------everyone on the plane was sick. When the plane took off, everyone cheered!! mj

bloomberg.com "Obama’s Visit The first case was seen in Mexico on April 13. The outbreak coincided with the President Barack Obama’s trip to Mexico City on April 16. Obama was received at Mexico’s anthropology museum in Mexico City by Felipe Solis, a distinguished archeologist who died the following day from symptoms similar to flu, Reforma newspaper reported. The newspaper didn’t confirm if Solis had swine flu or not. The Mexican government is distributing breathing masks to curtail the disease’s spread. There is no vaccine against the new strain of swine flu, health authorities said. Museums, theaters and other venues in the Mexico City area, where large crowds gather, have shut down voluntarily and concerts and other events canceled to help contain the disease. Two professional soccer games will be played tomorrow in different Mexico City stadiums without any fans, El Universal newspaper reported. Catholic masses will be held, the newspaper said, although church officials urged worshipers to wear breath masks and to avoid contact. Schools will likely remain closed next week, Calderon said in the Oaxaca speech. The decree allows Calderon to regulate transportation, enter any home or building for inspection, order quarantines and assign any task to all federal, state and local authorities as well as health professionals to combat the disease. “The health of Mexicans is a cause that we’re defending with unity and responsibility,” Calderon said. “I know that although it’s a grave problem, a serious problem, we’re going to overcome it.” Normal Airport Operations -----"
