The World Health Organization has raised its pandemic alert for swine flu to the second highest level, meaning it believes a global outbreak of the disease is imminent.
The WHO employs some of the world's leading experts in virology / bacteriology / epidemiology. If they believe a global outbreak of swine flu is imminent, we have legitimate cause for concern. We should hope they're overreacting.
Is anybody wondering when WHO last issued a Level 5? I looked it up - trust me, you don't want to know.
But not to worry - wash your hands, take time to appreciate the gift of good health, and do something nice for a pig.
