None of the cases in Massachusetts have led to fatalities, though three patients were forced to seek hospital treatment. Rosenthal addressed concerns— raised at last Friday’s press conference held by members of the Boston Public Health Commission—that patients treated by the infected students as part of their clinical rotations could be at risk of infection themselves.

Mexicans regularly complain about (and often try to avoid) overcrowded and understaffed public clinics and hospitals, where patients sometimes have to bring their own medicines and bandages if they want treatment. It's one reason partly why Mexicans tend to wait too long to seek treatment - another reason Mexico seemed slow off the swine-flu mark - and why they tend to rely on home-made treatments instead of doctor's orders...
