“It’s not a time to panic,” the White House said.

Once, just once, I want a government organisation to say "Everybody, the time has come to panic! (but please do it in an orderly fashion)".

“It’s not a time to panic,” the White House said. So, when is the time to panic?

Obama was getting updates “every few hours.”

More Obama "leadership" in action: Let one of his lackeys speak for him. Afterall, monitoring a potential global health crisis is far less important to Obama than him working on lowering his golf handicap.

Obama. Worst. President. Ever.

The situation in Mexico will cause many to flood our borders because of the lack of adequate health care in Mexico. If THIS is not a good enough reason to slam our border shut, what is?

I think this swin flu epidemic is not just a Mexico problem, now the Japanese are screening all passengers from flight from Mexico, the US, and Canada, so we can complain about Mexico but this will not stop the deaths from this swine flu. We must take global action now.

'Flu-fighting-medications?' What could they be I wonder? They can't be vaccines whatever they are.

If you are worried about being infected with it then you can wash your hands often with soap and warm water or you can carry some 90% alcohol to kill any pathogens on your hands when (for example) you use a door handle in a public place. If you've got it then take plenty of fluids, get exposure to sunshine and eat as well as you can. A healthy immune system will beat it or give you the fighting chance that drugs won't.

It is sad that someone like mael can post an openly racist term such as "wetback" and get away with it.

Obama golfing instead of dealing with this potential crisis is just not on. What's wrong? Only time to make make speeches to look good. Everybody says he's a good speaker but what really has he accomplished? This flu outbreak could be his Katrina.

Just finished watching Dr. Keiji Fukuda of the W.H.O. in Geneva, Switzerland give a live speech, saying this swine flu is still not a global pandemic, but urging all governments to prepare as if it were one, making stock piles of vaccines to fight against swine flu, etc.. We live in a global era, so someone can be sick in Mexico, get on a plane and in a few hours be sick in New Zealand, Spain, Scotland (Japan) etc..so maybe it is time to be more careful, avoid crowded places, use masks, wash your hands etc...

THERE IS NO VACCINE. Don't be conned. There was an alleged vaccine decades ago but it was banned because it didn't work and gave people swine flu. You have everything you need to fight any disease providing you take care of your immunse system by eating properly and believing in your immune system.
