Swine flu not stoppable says WHO
Thursday, 06.11.2009, 03:38pm
The World Health Organization raised the swine flu alert Thursday to
its highest level, saying the H1N1 virus has spread to enough countries
to be considered a global pandemic.
Increasing the alert to Phase 6 does not mean that the disease is
deadlier or more dangerous than before, just that it has spread to more
countries, the WHO said.
