What's the logical explanation for 159 deaths of mexicans vs. None for other groups?


Ummm...the lack of adequate health care and sanitation in Mexico.

I don't tire of repeating myself but will stop. Thank you for your opinion. Have a nice day. flowerforyou

Nah..Dammit! That just doesn't feel right! slaphead

How about we meet halfway between Colorado and Louisiana and fight it out??? explode :angel:

I am outta here. Have a great day everyone...that survives this deadly conspiracy.

I'm leaning towards this train of thought:

Mexico's Mystery: Why Is Swine Flu Deadlier There?
Time.com

By BRYAN WALSH Bryan Walsh – Wed Apr 29, 12:00 pm ET

"While the difference in severity between Mexico and U.S. cases would suggest that there are different viruses affecting the two countries, researchers have genetically sequenced swine-flu viruses from both Mexican and American victims, and "we see no difference in the viruses infecting sick people and less-sick people," said Fukuda. And even if there were genetic differences, it wouldn't necessarily mean much - scientists still don't know exactly which genes do what on flu viruses.

The Mexican deaths may also be attributable to some underlying coinfection or health problem that is simply not present in the U.S. cases - but that will require more investigation to uncover.

It's also possible that A/H1N1 began life in Mexico especially virulent - that country has apparently been grappling with the virus for weeks longer than the U.S. has - and evolved to become less dangerous by the time it crossed the border. That would not be an unusual evolutionary device, since viruses that are too deadly cannot survive if they kill off their host before being given a chance to spread. "It's fairly common in epidemics to see a trade-off between the ability to cause severe death and transmissibility," says Steven Kleiboeker, a virologist and the chief scientific officer for ViraCor Laboratories. The A/H1N1 virus may be attenuating itself as it spreads from person to person, becoming easier to catch but less dangerous. (Read "CDC Readies Swine-Flu Vaccine.")

The WHO, however, says that so far the virus appears to have stayed relatively stable during the chains of transmission, so it may not be mutating much. Still, the virus's current relatively weak state does not guarantee that it won't return later, much more virulent - which is exactly what happened in the 1918 flu pandemic that killed at least 50 million people worldwide. As the flu season comes to an end in the northern hemisphere, it may lead to a natural petering out of new swine-flu cases in the U.S. But the strain may continue to circulate aggressively in the southern hemisphere, which is just now entering its flu season, and then return to the north next winter.

Any conclusions now will be premature, because we still don't know what we're looking at. Experts predict we'll eventually begin to see fewer new cases in Mexico, as lab results separate real swine-flu infections from normal respiratory disease. Meanwhile, the anticipation of more cases and deaths in the U.S. has already been begun to be borne out. As the CDC's Besser himself has pointed out, swine flu is going to be a marathon, not a sprint - and we've only just gotten started."





There we go, something to look at, thanks Winx!

Menudo, which is the stomach, also known as tripe. One of the world's grand dishes is the French Tripe a' la Mode de Caienne, which is tripe cooked slowly with onions, Calvados and spices. It is rich, warming and succulent. The French dish is good, but Sonoran Menudo is much, much better.

interesting very interesting


I know this. My ex was Cajun and concocted all manner of crap that normal folk won't eat. I've already told this in a thread somewhere but I walked in my house one day and said "What the f**k is that smell? You boiling dirty socks or something!?". Yes, it was a mistake and I learned why most men fear cajun women. (I still love em).

Cajun tripe is cow stomach lining, not pig. That doesnt make it any more desirable or delectable to me though. I'll take a ribeye and some baked potatos.


i knda figured you did but that was for those that did not

you are not have these are you

About 1,500 students replied to surveys sent out by the health department about the outbreak, helping the city get a better sense of how the virus is spreading. Some students have complained of sudden nausea; others dealt with high fever, sore throats, coughs and aches.

i sure hope not

get well soon

Menudo. When I find it done well, it's great. Not everyone can make it well. They don't clean all the pig shlt out of the intestines and you can taste it.


Bleccchhh!! @ Menudo..the band or the food! sick I'll take the swine flu instead!! Betcha I live!! (I'm white as snow!!)laugh

You mean you wouldn't give some cute gal a big ole sloppy french kiss who just finished a big bowl of menudo??laugh

noway

Who said anything about a impending race war??!!

This thing has elements of Swine, Bird and human flus, thats not unheard of, but extremely rare and if it was a totally natural phenomena, then it would have the same serious death tolls for everyone. I've not seen any numbers that say it's thousands of infected Mexicans, so I'm not prepared to comment on that.


Not trying to say this isn't part of a bio-weapon but really there isn't any where near enough evidence to point that way. You keep saying it's only Mexicans that are dying, but to my knowledge Mexican officials have yet to say how many of those citizens of Mexico where anglo. Mexico does have quite a population of whites as well. It's far too easy to put this in the lap of Mexico's highly inferior health care system. Comparing our lack of insured citizens to their over all health care system is a joke. I've been there far too many times and known too many who've come from there to live here. Now if Hispanics outside of Mexico start dying and no one else then I'll agree that you have something.

Another thing. It is very rare to find a Mexican who practices healthy diets. Many don't eat veggies.
Their staples are, corn, beans, rice, flour, corn meal, tomato sauce and meat, when they can afford it.
Might check on what income level of the folks in Mexico who are dying is also. Level of income could determine how healthy they lived and how susceptible they were.


huh huh huh


corn, beans, rice, flour, corn meal, tomato sauce

those are veggies are they not

what what

I have Hispanic friends. They pretty much eat authentic food. They put shredded lettuce in lots of things - even a soup. They eat
avocados, peppers, mangos, and other fruits and veggies too. He has an authentic Mexican restaurant and uses all of those foods there too.

I posted this in another thread but I feel its more relevant on this thread.


I figured it out you see.



Drug Cartels fertilizing Marijuana with Hog Chit!





Yep!

And since Americans tend to steer more towards the high grade weed, instead of the Mexican dirt-weed, less Americans are infected and thus dying.

I figured that out just a min ago!think think

From all the reports it seems clear that this began in Mexico. In fact nearly all the reported cases have ties to Mexico, they are either from Mexico or they recently visited Mexico. So far the only reports of deaths appear to have been of Mexican nationality.
