Has anyone seen the apparent swine flue outbreak in Mexico and the US?

Idk, I thought it could be useful (maybe in argument against mass farming etc.), and you can warn the omni's in your life about it, or anyone who has just returned from, is in, or is going to Mexico or the parts of the US potentially at risk (looks like CA and TX are the states most at risk atm). And since it looks like you don't need to just be in contact w pigs to get it, it's being spread from person to person contact, meat eaters aren't the only people at risk.
