SHOOT: The WHO ought to declare a PHASE 6 Pandemic immediately. Meanwhile, make sure officials in your area are sealing off your airports and that you and your family are in a safe and secure environment.
HONG KONG — Officials around the world on Sunday raced to contain an outbreak of swine flu as potential new cases were reported from New Zealand to Hong Kong to Spain, raising concerns about the potential for a global pandemic.
No deaths from swine flu have been reported in the United States.
Officials urged residents not to travel to Mexico and ordered the immediate detention at a hospital of anyone who arrives with a fever and symptoms of a respiratory illness after traveling in the previous seven days through a city with a laboratory-confirmed outbreak.
“Do not travel to Mexico unless it is absolutely necessary,” he said.
The so-called bird flu virus, which kills an unusually high share of its victims, has periodically triggered fears over the past decade about a possible pandemic but is different from the H1N1 swine flu influenza virus now causing illnesses in Mexico and the United States. |
