First Swine Flu victim identified. "Patient Zero"

His name is Edgar Hernandez, and he lives in a La Gloria, Mexico, a village of 3,000 people. Officials have confirmed that his was the first known case of Swine Flu.  Edgar's town is near a massive pig farm operated by U.S. food giant Smithfield Foods and his mother believes that is how Edgar contracted the virus. 30% of the town has now been infected with the virus. 

Smithfield Foods claims it has tested its pigs and has not found any sign of the virus. Residents of the community claim Smithfield does not properly handle waste and that mishandling contaminates the air and water. Read more here.

Wouldn't it be something if the cause of what may become a global pandemic resulted from the actions of a U.S. company ??

The World Health Organization says at least 105 cases have been confirmed worldwide including 64 in the U.S., 26 in Mexico, six in Canada, three in New Zealand, and two each in Spain, The UK, & Israel. To date, the Swine Flu is responsible for seven deaths.
