In view of the efforts put in containing the spread of swine flu; I sincerely give my utmost respect to all medical officers, be it nurses, doctors or administrative staff. I believe everything that could be done is done; but here comes the real deal. Being such a deadly and contagious flu; it could be logical to say that areas around the most affected regions like Latin America should be the first to get it. The spreading of this viruses would then be done through tourists and people traveling around.
For years; our country is proud to be one of the most developed countries; and more than 20% (rough estimate)of our GDP dependent on tourism industries itself (much more if include the multiplier effect along with tourism related industries). We hold a lot of MICE meetings and is used geographically as headquarters for many businesses around the region. If theoretically we have so many traffic; why aren't we hit with swine flu yet?
Does Mexicans know we exists? I am not asking them to send some one affected over here; and I am praying we would never have to deal with swine flu, but I am thinking that this is a good time for ST B to start working. In a positive light, our M OH could be doing a good job; in a negative light, we need more energy in boosting our tourism and global status. But then, maybe, just maybe, we are just lucky :)
