Death Toll in Mexico Stabilizing?

This would certainly be good news if it continues. Mexico’s health secretary says that the death toll in Mexico appears to be stabilizing, with just 7 more suspected deaths. That’s still not great, especially considering that there are a total of 159 confirmed fatalities so far. But any slow down would hopefully be a good sign.

That being said, the flu continues spreading across the United States and elsehere. American health officials say they wouldn’t be surprised to find deaths related to the H1N1 virus and there is reportedly an increase in hospitalizations north of the border. Officials in nations such as Israel, New Zealand, Scotland, South Korea, and Spain have seen their own cases of swine flu infections.
