Mexicans reacted with fatalism and confusion, anger and mounting fear at the idea that their capital city may be ground zero for a global epidemic of a new kind of flu – a strange mix of human, pig and bird viruses that has epidemiologists deeply concerned.
Tests show 20 people in Mexico have died of the new swine flu strain, and that 48 other deaths were probably due to the same strain.
