Mexico Swine Flu

AP News Alert:

A powerful earthquake rocked tall buildings in Mexico’s capital, sending office workers down stairways into the streets.

One of the world’s biggest cities slowed to a snail’s pace on Sunday as millions in the Mexican capital hid indoors to avoid infection from a flu virus that has killed up to 81 people.

The Roman Catholic faithful listened to mass on the radio rather than go to church, a professional soccer game was played in an empty stadium and weekend cyclists stayed off the road in a lock-down of a normally chaotic city of 20 million people.

“This is the first time I’ve left the house in two days. I had to get some air,” Juan Casiano a 39-year-old office worker said walking briskly through a park in the upscale Polanco neighborhood. “But I’m going to stay the rest of the day inside.”
Fears of a global swine flu epidemic grew with with 20 cases in the United States and six in Canada, and possible infections also popped up as far afield as Europe and New Zealand. [ID:nN26482522]

It was a magnitude 5.8 earthquake, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

    Is this a sign from God of what is about to happen. Has man kind gone to far and the coming Christ is at hand. I welcome this because I don’t want to live in a world void of God. We a better place for us Christians. All the evil will get what they deserve. I have no synthy for the stupid dumb ass people that comit ungodly deeds to mankind and plot to make this world the way they want it. If the goverment have their way many of us would be killed anyway.

    You have my sentiments exactly— the swine flu and now a 5.8 earthquake! I have begun to wonder if this is the beginning of wrath of God because Mexico City accepted Obama’s overturn banning International Family Planning Groups that Provide Abortions.
