Mexico swine flu deaths raise fears of global epidemic
Mexico shut down schools, museums, libraries and state-run theatres across
its crowded capital on Friday in hopes of containing a swine flu outbreak
that has killed as many as 60 people and infected hundreds more.

World health authorities worried openly that the strange new virus could
become a global epidemic.

The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said tests showed
that some of the victims in Mexico had died from the same new strain of
swine flu that infected eight people in Texas and California.

Mexico put the confirmed toll at 20 dead, but 40 other fatalities were being
probed, and at least 943 nationwide were sick from the suspected flu, the
health department said.

Scientists said the virus combines genetic material from pigs, birds and
humans in a way researchers have not seen before.

"We are very, very concerned," said Thomas Abraham, a CDC spokesman.

"We have what appears to be a novel virus and it has spread from human to
human," he said. "It's all hands on deck at the moment."

President Felipe Calderon cancelled a trip and met with his cabinet to
coordinate Mexico's response.

The government planned to administer its remaining 500,000 vaccines from the
flu season to health workers, the highest-risk group, although it is not
known how effective they are on swine flu. It said it also has enough
oseltamivir, the generic name of Tamiflu, to treat 1 million people, but the
medicine will be strictly controlled and handed out only by doctors.

Epidemiologists are particularly concerned because the only people killed so
far were normally less-vulnerable young people and adults. It is possible
that more vulnerable groups - infants and the aged - had been vaccinated
against other strains, and that those vaccines may be providing some
protection.

Scientists have long been concerned that a new flu virus could launch a
pandemic, a worldwide spread of a killer disease. A new virus could evolve
when different flu viruses infect a pig, a person or a bird, mingling their
genetic material. The resulting hybrid could spread quickly because people
would have no natural defences against it.

The most notorious flu pandemic is thought to have killed at least 40
million people worldwide in 1918-19. Two other, less deadly flu pandemics
struck in 1957 and 1968.
