Swine Flu

Mexico began to get out from its swine flu isolation. It tried to get its business Tuesday. Vendors once again showing their goods andthe familiar noise of busy traffic and music. There were still signs of the virus that set off world health alarms. A Texas woman who lived near the Rio Grande was confirmed as the 28th person to die from the virus. Across Mexico people were happily predicting this week's reopening of businesses, restaurants, schools and parks, after a five days. We have a lot of confidence nothing is going to happen. That's what Irineo Moreno Gonzales said. He is 54 and a security guard. On Tuesday he limited takeout customers to four at a time at a usually crowded downtown Starbucks. He also said Mexicans have the same spirit we've always had. We're ready to move forward. The Texas woman was the second to die of swine flu in the U.S. She didn't live far from the Mexico border. She also had medical conditions. The toddler also who died of swine flu last week during a visit to Houston, Texas. That's what health officials said. Her death raises the epidemic's global toll to 28. This disease seems to be going away and that's good.
