As Isaiah, our incredible translator, and I walked across the border he showed me the river that marks the boundary between the two countries here: on one side, chaos – a young man shaking down every old lady carrying insanely heavy loads up the mountain side, everyone crowding the immigration window at once – on the other, relative order, neatly organized single-file lines, gas stations, power lines. How strange to be on that other side again.

Since the virus first spread to humans in April, swine flu has sickened 22 million Americans. That’s about 7% of us. The vast majority of illnesses have been mild. Still, 98,000 people have been hospitalized. That sounds like a lot, but it’s fewer than 1 in 200 people who have contracted swine flu. 3,900 have died so far, a terrifying number until we compare it to the approximately 36,000 who die annually of garden-variety seasonal flu. That means that, on average, fewer than one in 75,000 swine flu patients die.
