Patient Zero
As swine flu spreads around the world, spare a thought for the Mexico village where the virus started.
La Gloria in Veracruz is home to Edgar Hernandez - as a four year old boy, he became the world鈥檚 first swine flu patient.
He survived and became an overnight sensation, putting his family and his village firmly in the global spotlight.
The attention helped bring progress to La Gloria. Once dusty roads are now being paved, and a statute was erected in Edgar鈥檚 honour.
However surviving swine flu was only the beginning of his family's problems.
Outlook鈥檚 Susana Seijas visited them in La Gloria and they told her about their experiences.
