This document is a little confusing there are inter-pandemic periods which are pre-pandemic planning phases you can read on page 17. Then there are categories.

In the US we are on planning phase 4 but we are on pandemic category 2. Which in the US we are expected to lose between 90,000 and 450,000 people at this category.

I think you are right. It is somewhat confusing. I am still going through. It looks like things don’t really get crazy until the WHO goes to phase 6. My understanding is that they may go to phase 5 as early as tomorrow.
