The swine flu is fast becoming a pandemic. In fact, Mexico got an economic shutdown because of this. It has spread to a lot of countries near and far. The more pertinent question is, was this a natural occurrence. Could it be biological warfare from some secret terrorist group/ country? Why would they attack Mexico? Is it possible because Mexico is very near USA, a very powerful country?

Are you serious? who would want to infect the whole world? This is a pandemic and many lives will be lost throughout the course of the swine flu much like the Hong Kong flue and the Spanish flu. We do have the ability to slow it down and cure more then we did with the other two massive flus but this is just another round of illness vs. the world.

I know this is serious and very scary. Hopefully, I am wrong and its just a conspiracy theory. I hope they will find a cure soon and stop this.

I find it very doubtful that this is an act of biological warfare. Especially considering the fact that 'Patient 0' has been identified...as a five year old Mexican boy who lives near a large pig farm.

You know something, I think the media has made their point ... They have created panic worldwide, and bad thing at least for us, since I'm mexican, we are being looked over like a pest. It isn't the first time and I'm pretty sure it will not be the last time. I think if people would have a more open criteria, the world would not be as screwed up as it is already, we've been scammed several times for several years, here in our country and some others themselves like .... I don't know .... the US ??? But I'm not saying all of this is fake, there's always people dying someplace, people sick some other place, but we're not getting all the facts either, there's been a lot of questioning and coincidence going on which makes too many analytics think and ask stuff that, basically don't get a different answer than the one the media has, and you know, knowledge is power. And all things we're being warned about are just common sense, nothing new, "wash your hands before eating and after using the WC, do not sneeze in somebody else's face, go to get medical attention if you feel sick, do not automedicate" etc etc ..... but now we're getting it in big, huge banners to amplify the impact of "something bad". ... just think about it for a sec and open your mind a little bit within common sense and good logic. In the meantime continue doing whatever it is more convenient for you, but do not stop enjoying life.

I have been hearing that Swine Flu Virus which originated in Mexico could be a biological warfare.. you know, anything is possible.. maybe some terrorist group invented the Swine Flu Virus to destroy the lives of people.. Let us hope and pray that this outbreak will come to an end very soon.. it's scary, big time!
