| Mexico’s Calderon Declares Emergency Amid Swine Flu Outbreak
Mexican President Felipe Calderon declared an emergency in his country’s swine flu outbreak, giving him powers to order quarantines and suspend public events. Authorities have canceled school at all levels in Mexico City and the state of Mexico until further notice, and the government has shut most public and government activities in the area. The emergency decree, published today in the state gazette, gives the president authority to take more action. |
I’m posting this from the port city of Guaymas. It’s in the northwestern Mexican state of Sonora. Which is a long ways from Mexico City.
Nevertheless, I’m avoiding all swine-osculating competitions.
But last night I did eat a hot dog in Empalme. It had a bacon strip or two.
