Public Health

In an AP note on the NYT one can read:

"In the town of Xonacatlan, just west of Mexico City, Antonia Cortes Borbolla told The Associated Press that nobody has given her medicine in the week since her husband succumbed to raging fever and weakened lungs that a lab has confirmed as swine flu."

Associated Press writers Olga Rodriguez in Xonacatlan and Peter Orsi and Lisa J. Adams in Mexico City contributed to this report.

This is the basic problem of my country. Poor people from the countryside, Xonacatlan, are not people for the Mexican Government, nor to many Mexicans.

This cannot go on.

All Mexicans can host viruses that can kill the rest of Mexicans, like President Calderón, say.

Public Health, is the only effective health policy that makes sense in these hard times.
