The Noble Lie

CNN runs an article which poses the question I've been asking: why are only Mexicans dying from this flu?

Some of the possible reasons posed by folks from the CDC and universities are: malnutrition, overcrowding, sanitation, genetic conditions, complications due to other diseases within that population, complications with medications(!) taken in that region, under-reporting of the number of infected there, and under-reporting of flu-related fatalities here, just to name a few possibilities.

The only thing agreed upon is that it's still a mystery. CDC spokesman Von Roebuck wraps it up by saying, "We're making every effort to truly understand this virus, but some of the reasons for what's happening we may never figure out."
