CDC: Swine flu outbreak “widespread”, “cannot be contained”.

How, uh, cheerful.

(Keep in mind, before panicking, that cases in the US have so far looked pretty much like normal flu… no worse.)

Utter bullsh*t, of course. They could halt travel to/from Mexico for a few weeks starting right now. The few cases that already made it into the USA would spread a little bit into localized foci and then die out (not the people, the specific strain of flu).

But that’s not politically correct. We may be watching the first pandemic caused by political correctness.
