Seems like a pretty direct correlation to me (with the exception of ATL, GA area), but its distance may account for that.

Any idea(s) on what specifically in trade, people and/or products, or something more sinister might account for the correlation?

>s and f from me...this is a different outlook that I haven't heard about before

Well this adds some validity to the article posted above.

As to the trade route map...I can't say it's related just that X map overlays with Y map.

As to the Atlanta GA case clicking on the icon states the woman was visiting from the Kentucky area.

I noticed that too when I first saw the map. Interesting.

I think it has more to do with borders on Mexico ( Tx and Ca ) and international airports and ports of call ( Ga, Ny, and Fl ). In other words just normal human travel patterns in and out of the U.S.

Well to state that as a matter of opinion is one thing, but it doesn't change the fact that most of our trade comes by truck from Mexico and that is where this flu seems to have originated. I wouldn't attempt to discount a coincidence with an opinion that the coincidence doesn't have any merit.

All of those kids from Queens New York

were hanging out with truckers ?

LOL...I'll give you that one case that the school group coming from Mexico was traveling on a plane.

Ok people, it's time to start connecting the dots here, mmmkay.

Does anyone have a FEMA camp map I could borrow for a sec?

I wonder how many FEMA camps are along this swine flu route???

I was just thinking that all the first U.S. cases were people who travled directly from Mexico, mostly by plane, and most were young people returning from spring break or other vacations. The first New York cases seemed to be the largest bloom and I don't think they traveled along NAFTA highway trade routes.


Not being argumentative, just stating my views.

This was definitely a trial run - next hit is for the fall and your findings confirm the reason for those coffins, as it is estimated that 100's of thousands of people will perish. It is time to connect the dots.
