Mexico's response to H1N1 flu

I'm Just Wondering ... how did Mexico really do in the emerging H1N1 crisis phase?

Important analysis article about this in the Economist today...

I do know the Baja power-play/drama played out very strange, with denials by the Governor and the Secretary of Health that there were any (any!) cases of H1N1 in Baja, while the World Health Organiztion published on their website 3 days before the 4 comfirmed cases in Mexicali, and ProMed (Yale Infectious Disease) that cases were + in Tijuana... nothing happened from this wierd situation, the patients apparantly all recovered...

... but what about next time? What about a real regional emergency with higher stakes??
