NO and I was just at the Dr.'s recently, they are taking every precaucion to ensure that anyone going into the hosptial with flu symptoms is checked. I honestly believe you are more likely to catch Swine or any flu in the U.S.
Update: No. Currently there are more cases of swine flu in other countries - the US, Argentina - that there are in Mexico. Mostly, yes, the swine flu is just in Mexico. There have been under 10 cases in the US. And they have been in Texas and California. Just in the areas near the border though, like San Diego.
Infected Countries Mexico, USA, England, Spain, Canada, Isreal, Wales, Scotland, New Zeland Countries That might have swine flu Brazil, Guatemala, Peru, Australia, S. Korea, Venezualela, Countries under obsovation Denmark, Sweeden, Greece, Czech Republic, Italy, Germany i hope this helps
Swine flu orignates from fruit bats, the bats drop the infected fruit and the cattle ie pigs eat them, thus giving them to the farmers and workers who are usually elderly and do not have a strong immune system and then give it the rest of the population in Mexico
As of the 2011-2012 flu season, it is still circulating in isolated outbreaks. In the Northern Hemisphere there are scattered outbreaks seen. It is expected to be one of the three most common types of flu during this flu season and, therefore, the seasonal flu vaccination protects against it again this year.
As of April 27 2009 3 cases have been reported (from a total of 11 people returning from a trip to Mexico) Click on the link below for the latest updates on swine flu from the CDC:
One reason there have been more deaths in Mexico than other parts of the world is because the outbreak started in Mexico. Since it started there, more people in Mexico have been exposed to the virus, the incubation period has passed, and more people have become ill than in other parts of the world. In the past few days, more people in the United States have become ill with swine flu and the people becoming ill in Mexico has lessened. If swine flu become a pandemic, that trend could spread throughout the world.
Yes. The pandemic has been declared over. There remain some isolated outbreaks from time to time and place to place, however, so if you have not received a vaccination for it yet, you should. The swine flu vaccine is included in the seasonal flu vaccination in the 2011-2012 flu season in the Northern Hemisphere.
The chance of getting swine flu in Mexico is currently the same as it is to get it in any country where there have been cases now that it has become a pandemic. It is estimated that approximately 6% of the people in a given community will become infected with Novel H1N1 influenza if the flu has been determined to be in the area. Whether these numbers will increase is as yet unknown.

Statistically speaking, no... unless you've been to Mexico in the last couple weeks or you are very near someone who has, like in the same household.
