Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag outside the Monique Lhuillier boutique in L.A. (4/24)

Yesterday, in response to the rapid outbreak of swine flu, the Mexican government announced a nationwide shutdown of schools and universities, as well as a cancellation of all public events. As of today, 152 deaths in the country have been attributed to the flu, with another 2000 active cases. With that in mind, where's the one place you wouldn't want to visit right now? That's right, Mexico! Guess where Heidi and Spencer are right now? That's right, Mexico! But not on their honeymoon. Heidi's shooting the music video for her new single "Sex Ed." Of course. Why wouldn't you go to Mexico to do that? Yesterday in an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Spencer said:

"We're definitely wearing the facemasks everywhere we go. We're not playing -- I'm not trying to get pig flu. We're in isolation, we're in full hiding."

Montag later added, "Every second, we're washing our hands."

So what it finally took for Heidi and Spencer to go away was the deaths of 152 people and a nationwide shutdown of schools? I think the Mexicans are onto something here . . .
