The swine flu virus from Mexico that has spread worldwide, infecting more than fourteen hundred people, has created a pandemic of black humour in Mexico itself.
Changing the name of swine flu to "Mexican flu" is not an alternative linking a virus to the name of the country is never an alternative. The W.H.O did the correct thing to change it to human influenza or just name it by its scientific name Influenza A H1N1 virus. I live in Mexico City, and I haven't got the so call "swine flu" and as well I eat swine meat such as ham and I haven't gotten sick. Although the first cases of the outbreak seems to appeared in Mexico, if the world doesn't do its share, the virus will continue to spread. The first Chinese who contracted the virus didn't even step foot in Mexico, he was in the U.S.A as well the first Panama case. While in Mexico the situation is under control and taking all the health precautions and everyone here is doing their normal life, it seems that the rest of the world aren't doing enough to prevent this outspread and it seems easy to blame Mexico and do a which hunting against Mexican tourists and closing their borders to Mexican commercial planes. Cuba was one of those countries who did such a thing, and oh surprise they got their first confirmed case of influenza A H1N1 virus. Fidel Castro say the Mexico informed late to the international community, which is not true, and the W.H.O have said it repeatedly that Mexico got in touch with the OMS as soon it was detected, something the Chine did not do during the SARS outbreak.
