is the influenza epidemic in mexico something your country is worried about? hi, im from mexico city, where the epidemic started, and it's not as bad as it may sound. i mean it's a little scary, schools are closed, many public events were cancelled (like football games and the erasmus concert), and the streets... well they are not empty but there's fewer people than usual. but all in all everything is quite normal (at least untill now), and it makes me think of those times i heard about some outbreak like this in some other country, like "mad cow disease" in england or the "avian flu" in asia. tv news made it sound like chaos in those countries. so i'm wondering, is that the way people around the world think things are going in mexico?answering fede: well, it is really just a flu (gripa) but if unattended it can go wrong and you can die of neumonia, some people have already died, i don't know, the specifics, but others are safe, the problem is there's lots of poor people in mexico that can't get a decent medical attention, but now with this problem everyone is being treated.
