There is no word on its fatality rate and the numbers of cases vs deaths, change based on the news source.

When I heard 75 students in New York acquired it, they were not even admitting, nearly a 1000 people had pending signs in Mexico City. Now supposedly its over 2,000 and Mexico has basically shut down as of Saturday. The fact the news bulletins on it spread so sudden, it could be a real issue (or a distraction). Either way I’m trying to see if I’m wrong for buying stocks in Roche (The stock ticker, semi-affiliated with Tamiflu) but, the problem, a few days before the virus outbreak, they stated Tamiflu may be the worse solution for this flu.

Newbos are young African-Americans who rely on working-class values, a capitalistic philosophy and entrepreneurial instincts to create wealth and fame that would be unimaginable to their forebears.
