Mexican capital will take months to beat flu virus

MEXICO CITY, May 14 (Reuters) - The Mexican capital, which has suffered more than anywhere else from the H1N1 flu, will take up to six months before it fully defeats the disease, Mayor Marcelo Ebrard said on Thursday.

Ebrard told Reuters the number of new cases in Mexico City has dropped and no one has died from the virus in about a week as millions of residents get back to a normal life after the teeming capital was shut down for 10 days to limit its spread.
