It does suggest that the present outbreak originated there.. What I can't understand is HOW anyone would think it a "mystery" as to why citizens in a wealthier countries,(i.e, the USA,& Canada)- with better nutrition,& access to better medical care, would have lower mortality rates!! Poverty is a huge immuniosuppressant. Poor folk have to deal with higher stress levels, jobs(when they can get them) that expose them to unsafe levels of toxins(think of our Mexican migrant workers & families),poor nutrition, poor or nonexistant medical care, polluted water sources; the list is a long & depressing one, & isn't isolated to Mexican citizens, but also includes OUR folk. I would expect to see higher swine flu mortality rates amongst lower socio-economic groups,as well as children,elderly folk, & the chronically ill.
