60 Mexico flu deaths raise global epidemic fears
…
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said tests show some of the Mexico victims died from the same new strain of swine flu that sickened 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,” spokesman Thomas Abraham said.

“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.”
