In contrast to the Obama administration, the WHO has put out an alarming all points alert to all countries to prepare for a pandemic. Travel warnings for Mexico, screening of incoming planes at Asia airports, distribution of surgical masks at terminals, and additional planning. Mexico City is said to be closed for business; and Mexico President Calderon in shirtsleeves is vivid, engaged, and clearly challenged by the scale of the alarm. New Zealand is reporting ten possible cases of students returning from Mexico. New York City has closed a high school with eight suspect cases of students returned from Mexico. The WHO does not project coolness and preparedness. Instead, sweaty mobilization time, lots of bulletins, every nation for itself, stay alert for updates, no one sleeps much, wash your hands.
