    Has anyone died outside of Mexico yet?

    If not, that may mean that even though the virus can spread from person to person, it gets weaker on second and third transmission and may not be fatal.

    • Nobody outside of mexico yet. All cases outside have been "mild to harmless."brains

    • Ukit, you are correct. It could be very virulent, but with a low mortality rate. Played poker with an ID guy last night..TheBIueOne
