There's a suspected case in Minnesota now. The CDC has to confirm it, but as a precaution a couple of schools have been closed. I'm wondering too why the cases outside of Mexico seem to be milder. Is the difference in the overall health of the population, access to health care or is there a stronger strain floating around Mexico? I guess that's what they're trying to determine right now.
The sanitary conditions is the obvious answer, but there is another explanation that makes some sense. Flu outbreaks are rare in Mexico, so many people have probably not been exposed to any type A strains. In the U.S., we have developed a partial immunity to parts of the virus, so this mutated from isn't as debilitating to us.

They're closing about a dozen more schools tomorrow here in the metro Detroit area. 20 more suspected cases. I think they said one was confirmed. One of the schools is only about 10 miles from our house. At what point do we keep our boys home? When they get a case in their school? And then, what about thier siblings? How badly would this strain of the flu affect them, especially with their immune systems compromised already?
