We listen to the news and we hear complaints from many people. Politicians are renowned for complaining and hear it from them all the time. Now we are getting complaints from the Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa about the treatment of Mexico, their subjects and their airlines. There are two complaints that are really unfounded.
Quarantine of Mexican nationals
China has recent experience of epidemics that could have easily become pandemics. Bird flu (Influenzavirus A H5N1) seems to come and go with the migration of wild birds through China and so far has only affected humans with direct contact to the birds. The birds are ducks, geese, chicken and turkeys. Scientists keep on warning that it will only take a minor variation in the virus to make it become an epidemic and then a pandemic. Every year there are waves of avian flu that strike in different part of China and the Far East.
SARS spread through Hong Kong and other parts of China because the authorities were too slow to react when the infection started to kill people.

In 2006 Mexico averted what would have been a disaster for Mexico, the United States and Latin America. Felipe Calderon of the PAN party narrowly defeated Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador or AMLO of the PRD party in one of the closest and most amazing national elections ever held in the Western Hemisphere. In January 2006 AMLO was ahead in the polls outdistancing his nearest rivals by two to one; an insurmountable lead in a three party race. America- A Mixed Salad?

It goes without saying that America is a mixed salad of population. This is a nation of multi-culture. It may not be a surprise for you to know that a great portion of our population base is thanks to immigrants.However they tried to stop the spread when it was too late. The result was a great deal of criticism of the Hong Kong and mainland Chinese authorities.
When a hospital in Hong Kong was faced with a Mexican national who was suffering from Mexican flu (often called Swine flu) then their pandemic preparation came into force. They put the Mexican into isolation and they put the hotel he had checked into quarantine. There were over 250 people in the hotel and the authorities put them into quarantine for a week.
Is that overkill or a prepared reaction from Medical Authorities?
Stopping of flights to and from Mexico
After a Mexican flew from Mexico to Shanghai and then took a connecting flight to Hong Kong, all seemed well.
The problem is that the Mexican was infected with Mexican flu (swine flu). The Chinese government decided that the threat was too great and would stop the flights from Mexico to Shanghai. Consider how many people were on the flight from Mexico and those that he encountered and infected in Shanghai Airport and finally those on all the connecting flights from Shanghai. I think the response of the Chinese government was measured and calculated.
The complaints simply are a reflection of the problems that the Mexican Medical Authorities allowed to continue. If they had moved in time then the reaction of the Chinese authorities would not have been necessary.
Stop whining.
