In Mexico more than 150 people have died of what is suspected to be swine flu, with more than 2,400 suspected infections - though only seven deaths and 26 cases have been confirmed as swine flu in a lab. (See pictures of thermal scanners hunting for swine...
...conclusions now will be premature, because we still don't know what we're looking at. Experts predict we'll eventually begin to see fewer new cases in Mexico, as lab results separate real swine-flu infections from normal respiratory disease.
