That's funny. We can have a Easter Egg Hunt for the essential ones.

Nice headline, but without clarification, it means little. No military checkpoints on highway 1? No bug spray at Guerrero Negro?

Not completely clear which offices. They just said "non-essential". They also urged private business to do the same so the place could really get shut
down. I have a little more on it here:

It's funny because they'd be shut down anyway!. May 1 is Labor Day (holiday), May 5 is holiday (Battle of Puebla), which makes May 4 a holiday just
because it falls in between.
And, I forgot, today is Chldren's Day, so there would have been no school today either.

That's why I thought the original post was meant as a joke!

yes, that was the idea, to take advantage of the holiday. Last night the President made a rousing speech and made me feel good about my country and
how it has responded responsibly, quickly and effectively to this pandemic....viva mexico. (i bet video rental places and take out pizza places are
making a killing!)

huh. You believe that crap? Mexico fell flat on her face handling this and is taking serious heat from the world over it. They always talk like
they are the kings of the world- but in reality they are a third world country just talking big.
It has been one month since the first case. Mexico did nothing to identify, isolate, communicate or treat those close to the outbreak. Actually
less than nothing becasue they never really tested the original samples until the bug was on the loose. But Calderon can still pat himself on the
back? I'll bet the WHO would give them an "F"...
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The 39-year-old woman who was the first to die in Mexico's swine flu epidemic spent the last eight days of her life going from
clinic to clinic to find out what was wrong with her but doctors were baffled.
The woman, from the southern state of Oaxaca, died shortly after being admitted to hospital as an emergency case. Experts only identified the virus
that killed her 10
days later.

Anyone catch this piece in the LA Times this morning? Apparently this swine flu is less virulent than the regular flu I had in February.

It's the FLU, not the plague. Seriously- I don't know what all the hubbub is about either. More people die from the known flu strains- this one
seems less dangerous.

this isn't funny because the ONLY federal OFFICIAL holiday of those dates is Manana, May first. The other dates are just regular days and if they
fall on a weekday its business as usual.

"The State of Baja California does not have to comply with the federal directives to send pregnant women home, or to close businesses for 5 days...
etc because there are no confirmed cases of swine flu in Baja".
Just got that off the San Felipe website.

Calderon is going to get some serious heat from everybody, after it comes clear that they acted too slow at first, and then overexagerated.
