Illicit Flu Vectors
Given the amount of illicit traffic (goods, humans, drugs) between Mexico and the United States, the number of cases both within that country and this may be much higher (given that participants in that network are much less likely to approach a physician).
Also, the full economic impact of a potential pandemic are not incorporated into white economy estimates because they do not take into account this thriving sector of the global economy. (Which will expand further into both counterfeit and real versions of vaccines and antivirals.)
