Swine Flu Declared Pandemic by WHO:


Based on the presence of documented swine flu infections in 72 countries, the World Health Organization has declared the first flu pandemic since 1968. Read the story here.

It's worth noting that this new classification does NOT mean the virus is more virulent than before, that it has mutated, that it is more dangerous than before, etc.
