Revere links to a
curious Bloomberg News story
"...The first case was seen in Mexico on April 13. The outbreak coincided with the President Barack Obama's trip to Mexico City on April 16. Obama was received at Mexico's anthropology museum in Mexico City by Felipe Solis, a distinguished archeologist who died the following day from symptoms similar to flu, Reforma newspaper reported. The newspaper didn't confirm if Solis had swine flu or not. "
I presume the Secret Service takes sharp notice if someone who meets the President dies the next die from a mystery illness.
I also presume an autopsy was done.
Weird.

This could wipe out the First Family!
This is what happens when you refuse to call in sick. :-\
La Jornada reports that it was heart failure on top of diabetes, not the flu, that Solis died of.
Another source I saw last night said heart failure due to pneumonia, on top of diabetes.
(Actually if I parse my non-existent spanish correctly, La Jornada also mentions complications form pneumonia).
The proximate cause of the pneumonia would be of interest.
Still haven't heard definitively if there was an autopsy or blood serum test.
yes,its really strange...
Do we have a "Swine 'flu' Obama" akin to "Typhoid Mary"?!
