HILARIOUS as that was, things have changed. I'm sure they'll be speaking differently about it tonight, especially since there has been a fatality outside of Mexico.Leorex said:
And the WHO has raised pandemic alert to level 5. And all because of the dead mexican child in Texas.
Well, to be fair, the person who died was a two year old Mexican girl (who, mind you, was just as likely at that age to die from a normal flu infection) who happened to be receiving medical treatment for the disease in Houston, from what I read.ZeroMachine said:
It's not just about deaths.Broken Wings said:
Think what having half your population off work with flu will do to the economy? Especially in this recession.
Already, think about the number of flights that are going to be cancelled. Who's going to go out into public places (Eg. Malls, high streets, Restaurants an cafes) with a pandemic floating around?
I'm sure that the World Health Organisation have damn good reasons for enforcing level five status globally.
The WHO Level Just gone to 5 w00t

Officially, level 5 status is when there is human-to-human transmission in at least two countries.Danny Ocean said:

We've gone from Phase Four to Phase Five.
As far as I can discern...
Phase One = No idea
Phase Two = No idea
Phase Three = Disease transfers from animal to human, but not from human to human
Phase Four = Disease transfers from human to human in one country in one region
Phase Five = Same as Four, but with two or more countries
Phase Six = Global Pandemic
Phase Z = Zombies

At any rate nothing so far has truly convinced me this is a world ending disease, the news said that 150 so people died in Mexico, but only 18 or so were confirmed swine flu victims. Around 2000 people are infected there and 18 out of 2000 is 0.9%. That and considering that this is Mexico, where the disease first sprang up, taking them by surprise and they don't have access to the medications most countries do, and they have the most severe strain of the disease. So far I see it as a cause for concern, but not for panic.
