Can't we all just stay home for a week and let this thing pass? More ppl are dying from the normal flu than this bug. Why all the drama?
AP) — HONOLULU - Gov. Linda Lingle says the World Health Organization is considering raising the pandemic alert level to phase 6, the highest level indicating a global outbreak of the swine flu.
Lingle says the possible move was discussed Friday on a conference call with federal and state health officials.
She says it is not an indication that the outbreak is more severe, or more people are getting sick or dying. It means the geographic distribution of the virus has widened.
