Did any Turists die in Mexico and were they vacced?

[BellaClaudia]

I was just thinking and realized that nobody lists any
numbers that would specify number of turists affected by
the flu in Mexico be it dead or sick..

any of you mamas seen any data on this?

it is very curious that although I dig so many articles
non of them seemed to quote any of that.

It is very curious topic because it would somehow give the idea
whom the virus effeced and how in Mexico..

because it was so deadly there and so far not so deadly outside..
if it was only mexicans affected then it would be really intersting..
and if there were other nationals affected but nobody died..
as we probably would hear or read in raports from other countries..
again.. interesting..

would it be because Mexican's have lesser immunity to flues in general
because there is probably less exposure to the flu there (my guess)..

or what is your thought on this and did you see any numbers?

because otherwise.. is it because other nationals were vaccinated?
and then again.. were those who died in mexico vaccinated?
will we EVER know?

hm... many quesions. no answer..

what is your take on that?

There are people who have died in the United States, Canada, & overseas (not a very high number...I think maybe 5 or less?). I believe that most of these people had visited Mexico, or were sick with an underlying condition (both deaths on US soil were for people who had underlying medical conditions). Also, there are a lot of people who have gotten the swine flu who do not have a Mexican heritage. There was just a higher percentage in Mexico City. However, from what I've been reading, the actual deaths from confirmed Swine Flu in Mexico is a LOT lower than what was previously reported.
