Today's Video: Swine Flu Hits Amazon

Seven members of the Yanomami tribe have died recently after contracting Swine Flu. With little resistance to outside diseases, health officials fear the disease could wreak havoc among the isolated tribe that lives in the jungle border area between Venezuela and Brazil.

One outstanding issue remains: if the tribe is so isolated, how did its members contract swine flu in the first place?
