We are still interviewing for a Medical Correspondent at Enduring America, so we have to rely on other experts to explain this sudden phenomenon called Swine Flu.
Our findings: this crisis could have been averted if the world relied on private health systems and if the US had voted for John McCain in November 2008.
James Taranto in The Wall Street Journal nails the socialists for this wannabe-pandemic, suggesting that death rates in Mexico are higher in the US "because the government provides health care". Henry I. Miller, also in The Journal, goes for "unsanitary conditions, poverty and grossly inadequate public-health infrastructure of all kinds".
(Miller also cites "intensive animal husbandry procedures that place poultry and swine in close proximity to humans". He omits, however, this detail from the outbreak in Veracruz, Mexico, reported by The Daily Telegraph: "[Residents] claim they are suffering respiratory problems from contamination spread by pig waste at nearby breeding farms partly owned by a US company.)
Still, our preferred explanation for swine flu comes from Representative Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota, last heard warning that the Obama Administration was going to put children in "re-education" programmes:
