Is Mexico Cursed

The swine flu has ravaged Mexico, its evident source, producing many fatalities. The variety afflicting Americans has fortunately proved either to be a less deadly strain or is demonstrating the primacy of US medicine, particularly when contrasted with the medical system of a "developing" nation. Just when things could not get any worse with public events canceled or audiences banned even from the national obsession, futbol (soccer), and even usually crowded bars empty, it does as an earthquake strikes. God help them.
