If the Swine Flu is based in Mexico City, how in the world did it make it to New York over night?

Let’s say the flu is very contagious. It can spread like wildfire. Fine. But even if it did, it’s not going to jump several thousand miles over night.

Okay, so someone will argue airplanes. But it appeared in eight school children. Were they all on the plane together visiting Mexico City?

How can something nobody’s ever heard about all of a sudden jump from Mexico City to Texas and then on to New York within a day. What about everything in between?

    Yet to be solved.
    Even NZ has 10 suspected cases.

    I wonder if we/they have had any imported pork that could have been contaminated?

    This is out of my league.

    i just know its possible. but i have now idea how.

    most probably it wasn’t overnight. it seemed to be over night because of when it was discovered in Mexico. it was probably around way earlier but only discovered the day before it was discovered in New York.

    It made it to New Zealand overnight. Think about it. There must be stacks of flights between New York and Mexico City every day, so take 3 people from every flight as a base- and boom! NYC is contaminated.
