Six stages.
We are at stage 5 now, limited H2H transmission, but not quite to stage 6 (easy H2H transmission).
Stage 7 is "pandemic", which would be bad.

Actually per WHO we are at a stage 3.

I've also noted that they have not changed their level in over a month. Maybe they aren't taking into account the cases in Turkey and now Iraq.
Mind you I don't actually agree with WHO, I'd more agree that we are into stage 4 at this time.
