...approach here has been to try and do that, do it on a regular basis, tell people what you know, what you don't know. We want to let people make some decisions for themselves with that information. So we've tried to be out with the media as much as possible, to be able to share the information. And I think it's been an effective approach because people are turning to us for information.

...Lezana says Mexican and international virus sleuths are "much closer than we were a week ago" to determining the geographical, animal and human origins of the swine-flu outbreak - which may not even be in Mexico. (Until late last week, most media reports speculated that Hernandez's village in Veracruz, La Gloria de Perote, where large pig farms are located, was ground zero, but many Mexican and international health officials now say it could be in California or even Asia.)
