Exclusion
Stigmatised by an appellation: Chinese virus, Mexican fu --- Giving a country name to a virus is damaging both to its reputation and its economy. The Mexican swine flu (H1N1) of 2009 cost the country some $US2.8bn from the loss of nearly a million tourists over a five-month period, and $US2.8bn in pork exports.
Can our Mexican colleagues comment on their experience of this stigma?
