Why didn’t CDC know more about start of Mexican flu?

The Centers for Disease Control is still halfway in the dark about the seriousness of what's happening in Mexico. CANADA knew more about the first stages of the problem than we did, specifically the highly relevant fact that it is caused by a new strain of swine flu.

And, the story doesn’t make clear whether this is Mexico’s fault or the CDC’s, but, given that Canada DID know these details, the first option for blaming is on our side of the border.

So, per the header, why didn’t CDC know more about start of Mexican flu?
