Thanks for further explanation Sunfish. A consulting doctor told my wife's employer not to bother following info from the WHO. The CDC is more up to date and has a better handle on it.
The US VP p1ssed off the US airlines when he mentioned that he has advised his family not to fly for the next few weeks. They're talking lawsuit.
Discussion on US public radio last night on why the WHO declared a level 5. It didn't seem to be warranted according to the interviewees, which has a lot of people wondering whether there is a lot more to swine flu than what is being told.
Vaccine production will take longer than expected. The flu is slower developing in eggs than other flu vaccines.
The other problem is that the airing of this information is giving a lot of very boring people in normally very mundane jobs, the opportunity to grasp their 15 minutes and they're taking it.
