Dozens of people have died and hundreds of others have been infected in a viral outbreak in Mexico suspected to have been caused by a strain of swine flu. The WHO says it believes the virus is behind 60 deaths, mostly in and around the capital since mid-March. Mexican authorities have closed schools in affected areas and a vaccination campaign is being launched. Seven non-fatal cases of a new form of swine flu have also been confirmed in the southern United States. Experts will carry out tests to determine if the two viruses are linked.

Mods can we keep the number of threads to a minimum? This is a breaking story and it would be nice to only have to look at one or two threads for info.......

Huh? What are you talking about, that was my original thought. I just added it here too where there seems to be an ongoing duplication of this topic/discussion. DOH!
The Mexican authorities say 81 people are now thought to have been killed by an outbreak of a human swine flu virus.
People have been told to stay at home to contain the infection, which the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned could become a pandemic.
Confirmed or suspected cases have also been reported in the US and elsewhere.
