Will Bolivia’s Capital Have More Swine Flu N1H1 Deaths Due to the Altitude?

Did you know that people have already died in Bolivia from Swine Flu? The same strain that occurred in Mexico City and shut down the city of 20 million people? If you will recall when the Swine Flu epidemic broke out in Mexico City, hundreds of people died and the government in Mexico tried to downplay the number of deaths.

Still, as the pandemic, which the World Health Organization later determined was the more appropriate word, continued to spread to other nations there were fewer deaths and many people asked why. Could it be that since Mexico City is at a high altitude, and therefore people’s long capacity is more critical, and when their lungs fill up with fluid it doesn’t take as much to kill them?

How come more people died in Mexico City and in the United States very few people died when they got the flu of the exact same strain? This is an important question to ask. Did altitude have something to do with it, if so then Bolivia is in deep trouble in their capital city which is at 8500 feet, especially since they have already had cases of swine flu, and two people have already the died. This could prove to be a very difficult problem, and he could keep the swine-flu alive for much longer.

Meanwhile, Bolivia has international flights that leave the capital city for all sorts of nations including the United States. This is of serious consideration and is important that this time our government and the CDC take appropriate action. Now the N1H1 virus has been found in all over 100 nations and it has spread rapidly, it could very well modify itself and become virally more deadly when it is flu season in the fall and winter in the United States. We should be thinking here.
