As this outbreak of swine influenza virus appears to be a mutated strain of SIV that has mutated to a strain easily tranferred from human to human. Most strains of SIV aren’t capable of infecting humans, and those that are are not easily, if at all, transferred from human to human.
According to Dr. WHO (World Health Organization):
The Director-General has raised the level of influenza pandemic alert from the current phase 3 to phase 4. The change to a higher phase of pandemic alert indicates that the likelihood of a pandemic has increased, but not that a pandemic is inevitable. As further information becomes available, WHO may decide to either revert to phase 3 or raise the level of alert to another phase.
This decision was based primarily on epidemiological data demonstrating human-to-human transmission and the ability of the virus to cause community-level outbreaks.Given the widespread presence of the virus, the Director-General considered that containment of the outbreak is not feasible. The current focus should be on mitigation measures. The Director-General recommended not to close borders and not to restrict international travel. It was considered prudent for people who are ill to delay international travel and for people developing symptoms following international travel to seek medical attention.
Below is an explanation of the Pandemic Phases of the WHO
As you can see we are but a phase from widespread human infection.
According to FoxNews.com in a report today the WHO has now raised the level to Phase 5 : “widespread human infection”, or as I like to refer to it, “the beginning of the end”.
Now, what that means to me is this:
1. We can’t contain this fucking virus. and millions upon millions worldwide will be infected and may will die from this.
C. It has the potential to mass infect people rapidly, and a pandemic is upon us.
There have been confirmed cases (98, not including more than 6,000 in Mexico) now in 6 countries, in 3 continents.
Confirmed cases in New Zealand, Scotland, Israel, Spain, Canada, and the U.S. add to the more than 6,000 suspected cases, 26 confirmed cases, and 20 confirmed deaths as a result found in the epicenter (Mexican officials blame near 160 deaths on the virus), Mexico.
The WHO (“who, who whooooo arrrrree you”) have urged not to stop international travel and for those with symptoms to seek medical assistance after international travel. If I’ve learned anything from Zed movies it’s this: Zombies can’t swim! If we don’t let the soon-to-be-Zeds fly from country to country all willie nillie and whatnot then we can safely contain the rising zombie threat. Now however the virus is spreading and has now safely made it’s way to every major landmass except Australia. Now scientists around the world are working at a fever pitch to get a vaccine ready to stop the spreading pandimic.
I’m bored with this, I have no focus or drive in life I give up!
In unrelated news I got to see Jessica Beil’s tits, and Selma Hayek is still hot and Obama is still president!
