breakfastburrito I find the statement "independent review" rather interesting as the review is in fact listed in Wikipedia! That totally invalidates the notion of "independent review" - it would not be published in Wikipedia if the review had been negative. But let's put that aside.

Wikipedia like many similar sites does supply some good information but is NEVER (yes - I used that word again) accepted as a authorative source by any acadenic or research institute due to the inconsistency of the standard and authenticity and accuracy of the information presented.

I would take the information presented by WHO, CDC and similar regarding this latest swine flu outbreak, over details in Wikipedia.

However, regardless of the source - swine flu is a serious matter and we need to have access to current and accurate information to allow the aviation industry and others to make balanced decisions and develop strategies to counteract any possible affects.
