So Obama bumped into someone who later died with flu-like symptoms. Died OF what has not yet been determined, but Bloomberg's verbiage suggests (with plausible deniability) that it has, thus implying swine flu.

WTF are "flu-like symptoms" in a 65 year old man, anyway? I can name at least seven common causes of death that include "flu-like" co-morbidities at that age. Only one of them is the flu. Hell, I'm only 45 and my days are filled with several flu-like symptoms. It's a bullshit term, and shoddy journalism to use it.

Greater Mexico city has 21 Million people. Obama directly contacted (in a way that propagates the flu) at most 1000 people during his visit. At the height of the 1918 flu, 25% of the population got sick from the flu, and 3% of them died. Do the math.
