I think some pukes are involved ...

From Interested Participant ...

See if you can explain this report from yesterday.
It was full 18 days after the Mexican authorities started probing unusual cases of pneumonia that the world came to know about the swine flu outbreak.
Coupled with this report from today.
Mexico's chief epidemiologist said the World Health Organization was slow to respond to the country's warning about a health crisis that turned into a global swine flu scare and he wants an investigation.
Arguably, the answer is that swine flu has graduated from being a medical problem to a political issue. Mexico wants to redirect public attention away from its own inaction by accusing the WHO of unresponsiveness.
 ... or, the Mexican and UN bureaucracies are at par.  Or ... it could be this.

Katrina writ large - instead of city blame state blame Fed and an excuse for Fed handouts coupled with a larger bureaucracy to cope with similar incidents in the future, we have a country blame WHO/UN looking for handouts, cover their asses, and the result will be ... ah fuggit. Leave it for a poly-sci major's master's thesis.
You nailed it Rodger.

Now we're being blamed! UN animal health organization saying that it shouldn't be called "Swine Flu" but North American Flu.
Some say that change is needed since people is exterminating pigs in many countries around the world. That explanation, however, makes me feel uneasy. Keep your ammo dry.
