US baby dies as swine flu takes international heights
A 23 month old baby has been officially confirmed as the first victim of the swine flu virus outside of Mexico.
Once a resident in Mexico, the victim tops the list of a reported 91 US cases with possible swine flu traits, with a further 53 cases being reported in the third largest hotspot: Spain.
Also in Spain, the first case of a non-Mexico visitor has been confirmed as the outbreak rapidly spreads.
As of this morning, 114 cases have been reported, taking 8 deaths, so the National World Organisation reports. In Mexico however, it is believed up to 159 people have been killed a week after the pandemic was announced.
Flights from other countries are now being banned to Mexico, with France the latest to join after several airline companies including Thomas Cook of the United Kingdom had announced yesterday.
Cases have now been confirmed in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Israel, Britain, Spain and Germany. Germany has been the latest to be added to this list, with two new outbreaks from a couple in their late 30s adding to a previous report of a 22 year old woman to take the total to 3. All, unlike the case in Spain, had returned recently from Mexico.
If it is confirmed that the disease is being spread in two or more countries, the NWO will raise the pandemic level to Phase 5 - the highest possible level of threat. NWO's acting assistant director for health security and environment Keiji Fukuda says the flu "moves in ways we cannot predict".
