Default Re: WHO chief: flu pandemic appears to be happening

I just heard on the Italian RAI2 TV that they've upped it to 6th level!
Will look for sources....

Influenza pandemic alert raised to phase 6
11 June 2009 -- On the basis of available evidence and expert assessments of the evidence, the scientific criteria for an influenza pandemic have been met. The Director-General of WHO has therefore decided to raise the level of influenza pandemic alert from phase 5 to phase 6. "The world is now at the start of the 2009 influenza pandemic," she said at a press conference today.
See Dr. Chan's Press statement:
