May 5, 2009 – Health and human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius of American Federal officials advised schools to re-open when swine flu even though there was a confirmed case at a school. With the terrified effects of the flu, 530 schools were shutdown nationwide because of it. St. Francis Preparatory School of New York, the first confirmed United States of swine flu, was now opened again, stating that it is “completely sanitized” for students. The swine flu had affected the world wide, people who went to Mexico were quarantined and confirmed cases on Mexicans who were on foreign countries were quarantined as well. The CDC said, there were more than 400 cases of U.S. swine flu cases. four new swine flu deaths confirmed, according to WHO. However, Mexico City will close public venues and schools across the nation.
After reading this article, I was relieved that the Mexican government was taking measures with the swine flu. The officials were not letting their guard down, which is a correct action, or if they did, the virus will spread and might even result more deaths. However, their acts could be improved, if I am the government of Mexico, I will keep public places closed and whichever place have a reported sight of the flu, including suspected ones, should be quarantined. I would also cease the airlines from entering Mexico, until the statistics of the flu cases descends. I hope that the Mexican officials will remain cautious. It is better to be safe than sorry. Even though, it might cause some inconvenience, life is more important than that. I hope the Mexican Officials will not change their minds and prevent the flu from spreading. Other countries should start more quarantine and be as cautious as Mexico. Keep it up, Officials!
