Argentine pigs have H1N1

Health authorities here issued a nationwide alert on Friday after Argentine pigs were confirmed to have the H1N1 flu virus. The alert comes as global health officials worry that the A(H1N1) virus is rapidly spreading, and evolving, during the southern hemisphere's winter months. Thousands of people have contracted the virus in Argentina and 137 people in the country have died.

Argentina is very near to Mexico and I think it will be spraeding like wild fire once someone got it and spread within the community.
