Before She Died, Dotty Gave It to the Mailman

Speaks for itself

It's been hard to keep up with the cascade of bad news today, but here are some of the main points (more to come):

• Health officials said they'd traced the source of the outbreak to the southeastern state of Veracruz. But the governor is denying that. He's blaming it on Asia, because that sounds about right, huh?
  
  
• The European Union declared a travel warning against North America. Hours later, the CDC said non-essential travel to Mexico was a bad idea.
  
  
• In Mexico, the death toll from probable cases climbed. It's now at 149, with suspected ones popping up everywhere from Brazil to Sweden. Forty-two were confirmed in the United States and six in Canada.
