PIGS FLU
Despite a pandemic alert level of 5 out of a possible 6, the World Health Organization announced that there appears to be no evidence of widespread H1N1 “swine flu” infections outside of North America.
The pandemic alert level specifically references geographic spread of a disease.
The WHO announcement was followed by a report from the White House that admitted the H1N1 flu virus is no more dangerous than normal influenza. White House officials did note that the virus could make a comeback in a stronger form this fall, and WHO officials invoked the 1918 flu epidemic in giving a similar warning.
