WHO confirms pandemic threat raised to 5 out of 6

GENEVA, April 29 (Reuters) – World Health Organization director-general Dr. Margaret Chan raised the pandemic threat awareness level to 5 out of 6 on Wednesday, meaning the world is at imminent risk of a pandemic from H1N1 swine flu.

“I have decided to raise the level of influenza pandemic alert from phase 4 to phase 5,” Chan told a news briefing.

This virus needs to be watched.  I hope our response is preventive and not reactive.  Let us hope for the best.
