Sorry, Mexico is closed

The BBC has an article (and videos, if you click the post title to go to their page) about the latest moves to control the H1N1 (the virus formerly known as swine flu) virus:

Mexico's usual May Day celebrations have been cancelled all over the country and in the capital, Mexico City, government buildings are closed for the next five days. Shops, restaurants, bars, and gyms have shut down in an attempt to stop the spread of the H1N1 flu virus. President Calderon has asked Mexicans to stay at home over the holiday weekend. The health minister says there has been a noticeable drop in the number of people being admitted to hospital with severe flu symptoms. Only key services such as public transport, supermarkets and hospitals are being kept open.
