Is it really a mystery as to why the flu is more deadly in Mexico than in the US? Have factors such as quality of medical care been taken into account yet?

Instead of putting your 401k in stocks and bonds, you should've devoted it to making political contributions. The ROI is far greater, and the volatility much more manageable.
