Being satirized in this cartoon is the fact that people were afraid of swine flu for a while. While people were afraid, this cartoon shows a man that's faking to have it. He does this by pretending to be mexican. People completely looked at someone as having swine flu just because they were mexican. This is completely false. This cartoon shows people staying away from someone who's mexican. While they may have not done something this blatent, it satirizes they're fear of swine flu.
Not only satirizes the swine flu epidemic, but also casts a shadow on our cultural tendencies, to segregate one self form the rest of the population, possible of contamination. How the Train represents narrow minded people, which don't know how far to be from the person. But the person in the hat show how even in dangerous time they are wiling to mingle with the disease to use it in their own way as to get the best of that situation.
It is satiring how people reacted to the swine flu epidemic. And how Americans associated mexico with the swine flu. even though the man is clearly faking it just so he can sit on the subway.

the cartoon is illustrating how little people knew about the swine flu epidemic and how they overreacted to it.
