Swine Flu |
( June 11, 2009 update) The Associated Press this morning is reporting that the
"World Health Organization" told its member nations it was declaring a swine flu pandemic Thursday
-- the first global flu epidemic in 41 years
-- as infections climbed in the United States, Europe, Australia, South America and elsewhere.
In a statement sent to member countries,
WHO said it decided to raise the pandemic warning level from phase 5 to 6
--
its highest alert
-- after holding an emergency meeting on swine flu with its experts.
The long-awaited pandemic decision is scientific confirmation that a new flu virus has emerged and is quickly circling the globe. It will trigger
drug makers to speed up production of a swine flu vaccine and prompt governments to devote more money toward efforts to contain the virus." There will be a Live webcast of the WHO press conference at Noon EDT today, presumably to announce the change in pandemic status. What a shift to Phase 6 of the pandemic warning level will mean to Flight Attendants is unclear at this time, but stay tuned for further updates as the situation unfolds.
