Swine Flu Info Blog

The statue of Edgar Hernandez is located in the central park of La Gloria, a pig-farming village in the mountains where some people claimed the virus originated due to the big pig ranch in the town.
Although many town residents had become ill, it was 5 year old Edgar Hernandez who became the first person diagnosed with the illness and survived after taking antibiotics. The statue will be a symbol of hope for all those that become ill from the virus.
