...authors of the Science paper based their findings on early data from the H1N1 outbreak, estimating that about 23,000 people had been infected in Mexico by late April, with a fatality rate of about 0.4%.

The restaurant has a gourmet tasting meal that, given the favorable exchange rate, isn't out of reach. Room rates start at $188 per night; the tasting menu starts...
