World Health Organisation director general Margaret Chan is holding an emergency meeting today to discuss the severity of H1N1 flu outbreaks, but no decision is expected on moving to the top level of pandemic alert, a WHO spokesman said.
"The agenda is not to decide on phase 6," WHO spokesman Fadela Chaib told a news briefing in Geneva.
"There is no timetable for WHO to go into phase 6, as you know we need to see community transmission in another WHO region and secondly to assess the severity," she said.
Peacenik senses a lot of people have become dismissive of a possible pandemic. Despite the fact that WHO changed their definition of a pandemic just so they wouldn't have to declare one. And don't forget many countries, including the U.S., aren't even testing for swine flu. Thats right. There are many more cases than reported. Peacenik says review your preparedness. Food and water for 3 weeks. Masks, medicine, latex gloves and 500 rolls of toilet paper. Peacenik never goes anywhere now without a small emergency flu kit. You complacent? Read this story.
