WHO stated that ‘All of humanity is under threat’ from a global flu pandemic. Not to go into scare mode, but I did some reading on the spanish flu last night. Apparently the SF came in 3 waves. It was also an H1N1 swine flu that hit in the spring of 1918 in a mild form. It swept again in the fall and winter and that is when it was most deadly. I pray the patterns are not similar.

Because Spain is in a seperate WHO region and their cases are transmitting within the community, they will probably raise the level to 6 soon. We’ll see. What I find strange is why WHO keeps lowering the infetion & death rate, which is different from the CDC.

That is what a respiratory therapist I ran into yesterday told me. She expects them to raise it to 6 within the next few days.

Glad to see that some people are paying attention on here.
I have watched, studied flu’s for a few years.

If you google Madelin Cosman, she wrote several articles on the illnesses that were coming into the USA and her concerns. I first learned about Bird Flu from one of her articles. Then I was asked to do a report about Bird flu before my boss went to China...Was the risk worth the reward? He decided it wasn’t.

I also have a report that my son’s Physician participated in for a Statewide Pandemic Training Exercise in 2007. I trust this doctor, and I know he wouldn’t be participating in something that was “nonsense”, he is way too busy and he is a great doctor. Experts have expected a Pandemic, I don’t believe that Obama had anything to do with this. I do believe he is handling it inappropriately.
