My sister and her husband are in Mexico City. I just got off the phone with them. They both have it. They're okay so far, just staying home and being sick as hell. They're told not to go to hospitals unless they absolutely have to, because the hospitals will be full of people who really really really have it and you'd have to be nuts to even step into one. So they're staying inside and wearing face masks, for the last few days. All school and sporting events and festivals have been canceled, and people are already blaming the virus and this morning's 6.0 earthquake on gay marriage.
They also say we already have the cure for it, but it's so widespread and hitting other countries like Spain and New Zealand, that it could easily go worldwide and it's just a matter of making the cure fast enough and getting it out everywhere before too many people die.
