Swine Flu Up to Level 5
WHO is warning that "pandemic is imminent" as they raise the pandemic value to Level 5. From Reuters
GENEVA (Reuters) – The World Health Organization said on Wednesday the world is at the brink of a pandemic, raising its threat level as the swine flu virus spread and killed the first person outside of Mexico, a toddler in Texas.
"Influenza pandemics must be taken seriously precisely because of their capacity to spread rapidly to every country in the world," WHO Director General Margaret Chan told a news conference in Geneva as she raised the official alert level to phase 5, the last step before a pandemic.
"The biggest question is this: how severe will the pandemic be, especially now at the start," Chan said. But she added that the world "is better prepared for an influenza pandemic than at any time in history.
So what exactly does this mean? Here’s a picture from the WHO website that illustrates what the levels are. They number 1 through 6.
Despite the fact that the media and governments are all atizzy, I just want to inject a little reason here. A handful of people have died from this, and only one outside of Mexico. A couple of hundred infected people sounds like a lot but please.. put this into perspective.As of April 2009, the Earth’s population is estimated to be about 6.77 BILLION.
Do you know what Egypt is doing? They are mass slaughtering all of their pigs. Talk about overkill. Well Egypt is a muslim country, and the pigs are owned by Christians. OK so it’s not REALLY about the swine flu is it!??
