Swine Flu Threats AllOver The World....
The virus poses a potentially grave new threat to the US economy, which was showing tentative early signs of a recovery. A widespread outbreak could batter tourism, food and transportation industries, deepening the recession in the US and possibly worldwide.
The suspected number of deaths rose to 149 in Mexico, the epicentre of the outbreak with nearly 2,000 people believed to be infected.
The number of US cases rose to 48, the result of further testing at a New York City school, although none was fatal. Other US cases have been reported in Ohio, Kansas, Texas and California. Worldwide there were 77 cases, including six in Canada, one in Spain and two in Scotland.
The World Health Organization reported a slightly lower figure, 73. The WHO said it was still awaiting official reports from the UK about the Scottish cases, and it was reporting different numbers in the US (40) and Mexico (26) from what those governments confirmed.
