There's absolute nothing wrong with caution, but let's be worried about the right thing.
Mexico is shutting down large sections of their economy, doing everything possible to prevent transmission through mass assemblies, and otherwise has the strongest containment policies in place.
Compare that to the USA, where our Vice President is publicly flamed for over-reacting by suggesting to his own family that they avoid confined places such as aircraft and subways. Here in the USA baseball stadiums are still crowded, and kids from closed schools are visiting the mall instead.
If you live is a small town, you're probably safer at home, but if you travel within a large metropolitan area in the USA you're probably more exposed to H1N1 than if you visited Cozumel.
That can change at any time, but I'll bet anyone a 2 tank dive in Coz. that very soon there'll be more confirmed cases difused over a wider area within the "safe" confines of the USA than in Mexico.
BTW- I'm betting only the first person to pick up the bet.
