La Gloria of a child could be the patient zero of the swine flu

What's going t0 two days ago to give an account of the assumption that the original outbreak of swine flu was in pig farms Farms Carroll-Smithfields Foods in the community of La Gloria, a town of Perote, the Mexican state of Veracruz. Well it seems that we are on track: that state's governor, Fidel Herrera Beltran, released to the media that a child of 5 years of glory, Edgar Enrique Hernandez, was positive of H1N1 virus. Although this patient was a late child of the virulent flu which has affected one way or another 60% of the 2,500 inhabitants of La Gloria, and some wonder if Edgar and his community, respectively, the patient zero, and people scratch, of swine flu.

The truth is that the situation is a bit confusing. Despite the small Édgar was officially considered to be the first affected by the virus H1N1, which has survived the reality is that, before him, many others were affected by a rare and virulent flu. Whether it was that killed two children in La Gloria. Therefore, one does not understand is that this community has only been recorded that case, the Édgar of swine influenza infection. The other, presumably, would have become sick, even killed, by common flu ...

But when the inhabitants, who had already protested and called for urgent action to reverse the weeks before the outbreak that were suffering terrible (and they thought they had the origin of the giant pig farm under the name of that Granjas Carroll's company Smithfields Foods), television news had symptoms typical of the swine flu epidemic made public at the April 24, had no doubts: it was like I was sick with them, the symptoms were identical.

But the authorities deny it: the Mexican Health Secretary Jose Cordova, noted that of the 30 samples from affected respiratory diseases in La Gloria, only to Edgar Hernandez was H1N1 positive, for what he considered "risky" place the origin of the epidemic there. According to Cordova, the community suffered from a common flu. For its part, the governor of Veracruz, Fidel Herrera Beltran, Granjas Carroll denied that was the focus of the epidemic. Apparently none of its 907 employees, or its more than 500,000 pigs are infected.

Representatives of the municipality of Perote, which belongs to La Gloria, told the press that half the residents of this community work in Mexico City on weekdays, so it would not be unreasonable to think that these people had spread the swine flu in the federal capital, where there are most cases.

On the other hand, increase every day the information and scientific reports pointing to the relationship between the swine flu and the conditions of animals on factory farms.
