WHO ups pandemic alert as Mexico flu deaths climb

Raised to Phase 4 alert.

Latest Headline

I can see more and more people using hand sanitizers, and I heard that could actually cause them to mutate faster by killing the weak ones off.

I'm a hand sanitizer junkie.

So far there is no fear but the fear of a mutation. Wonder what the highest level is, and what that exactly implies on our home life.

I have family going home to egypt in the next month, I wonder if it gets bad enough will they be able to travel.

If I'm not mistaken, they maximum level is six.

So far, Spain is the only country in Europe that a case has been reported. Since news are being updated so fast, it wouldn't surprise me if more unreported cases will be known before the day is over.
