"BOGOTA - COLOMBIA has detected its first human case of swine flu, local media reported early on Sunday.
The 42-year-old man infected by the A(H1N1) swine flu lives in the town of Zipaquira, not far from the capital Bogota, according to the reports.

The media said the Colombian government planned to make a formal announcement about the discovery at 7.00 am (8.00 pm Singapore time).

If the finding is confirmed, Colombia will join the list of 16 other countries that have officially reported 658 cases of H1N1 infection, according to the World Health Organisation.

Mexico, at the epicentre of the H1N1 outbreak, said the national death toll had reached 19. The country also has 454 infected patients.

The United States has reported 160 confirmed cases across 21 states, including one death.

In Canada, some 30 new cases were reported on Saturday, bringing the total number of people infected throughout the country to more than 85. -- AFP"

this is a joke... it is a flu virus, new but still a flu virus...look at the numbers. 35,000 a year die each year in the US from the " standard " flu virus.....
160 cases in USA of a population of 300 million people....1 death and it was a 22 month old baby ( correct me if i am wrong) who has not built up any immunity to any viruses anyway....

And that baby was a Mexican national taken to the US for healthcare.... not an american


This seems to be hyped up to cover other things.... as Rahm Emanuel and Hillary Clinton said, "Never let a good crisis go to waste"
