CDC: la epidemia ya no se puede contener

La CDC afirma que ya no se puede contener la epidemia en Estados Unidos, pero... ¿no que solo tienen ocho afectados por el virus? Y en México tenemos ya 60 muertos y se cree mil infectados! Esto suena raro, muy raro. Copio de Reuters:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday it was too late to contain the swine flu outbreak in the United States.

CDC acting director Dr. Richard Besser told reporters in a telephone briefing it was likely too late to try to contain the outbreak, by vaccinating, treating or isolating people.

"There are things that we see that suggest that containment is not very likely," he said.

He said the U.S. cases and Mexican cases are likely the same virus. "So far the genetic elements that we have looked at are the same." But Besser said it was unclear why the virus was causing so many deaths in deaths in Mexico and such mild disease in the United States.

PD. Analistas creen que si la epidemia crece puede ser un shoch para la economía mexicana, ya de por sí en graves problemas.
