GWEN IFILL: The number of flu cases in the U.S. kept growing to more than 640, and the death toll in Mexico rose to 42. For more about the developments in Mexico, we're joined by Ray Suarez. He's been reporting with our "Global Health" team on-air and online from Mexico City all week.Hello, Ray. So we know about this new death toll today. What else have we learned? RAY SUAREZ: Well, along with the slowly rising death toll and the slowly rising number of confirmed cases that are still in the hospital, there is some sense of satisfaction among the Mexican leadership here, but the president said he's not ready to call it a victory yet.He praised his countrymen for the efforts that they made in keeping their distance, in keeping clean, in limiting the spread of the disease. But the Mexican leadership at the Department of Health, the mayor of Mexico City, the president himself have all called on Mexicans to remain with the measures that were used during the emergency period: staying masked, washing their hands frequently, washing the things they use and touch during the day.And as this city opened for business again and we walked and ran around the city, you could see that some people were taking that message seriously, but others have already dropped the mask, thinking that the worst has passed.
