I still don't get how they can call it a f#%king pandemic.....

Sure, the criteria for a pandemic is 'sustained community level transmission..' in more than a couple of countries, but the step down to the phase at the end of a pandemic is a reduction to seasonal infection levels.... which the current 'pandemic' (swine.... really?) flu is WELL below already.

So... was it ever really a pandemic?
