WASHINGTON - A government official confirmed the first U.S. death from the new H1N1 swine flu on Wednesday, a 23-month-old child who died in Texas.
It is the first death from swine flu reported outside Mexico, the country hardest hit by the influenza outbreak. The disease is suspected of killing more than 150 people in Mexico and sickening over 2,400 there.
The official gave Reuters no other details on the case. U.S. officials have confirmed 65 cases of swine flu, most of them mild.

This will not be the only fatality it has only just begun. Sad situation, Im in Texas and have isolated myself this is why. Not because I know Ill die but because people ARE dying. And this flu isnt even what Im scared of. Im worried about the second pass.

But even if there are swine-flu deaths outside Mexico -- and medical experts say there very well may be -- the virus would have a long way to go to match the roughly 36,000 deaths that seasonal influenza causes in the United States each year.

This whole pandemic talk is so much a flag operation, it's incredible! It makes absolutely no sense except for an opportunity to manipulate public attention away from real problems.

Trust me DangerDeath, that is one of the benefits of pushing the pandemic to keep the public afraid and away from the economic woes, unemployments and foreclosures, meanwhile while we all worry about the next casualty our own government keeps funneling billions on the zombie banks.
Still this cause for worry because the link to animal to human contamination has been breached and that still will make us human more suggestible to an arrange of other diseases that until now were off human limits.
