BREAKING NEWS -- WHO has raised the pandemic level to phase 5!!!!!

Delta is allowing changes to your flights w/ no penalty if your travel is between now and May 6. You can change your flight to anywhere on ANY date

MarieSam I saw that they are thinking about putting it to a level 5 but on the WHO website it still says it is at a level 4

[tylersgirl]

Here it is on the yahoo page: WHO raises pandemic flu alert level to phase 5

[Jacilynda]

CNN is reporting that it is level 5

[Jacilynda]

I can't even get the WHO site and CDC to come up right now! they are probably swamped

[MarieSam]

It's an AP press release -- news agencies get tipped off early.

[Jacilynda]

Here it is from WHO; WHO | World Health Organization

I just looked at teh CDC site and the WHO site and neither are updated but I am sure it is like MarieSam says...the news find out quickly and I am sure the WHO is in the middle of writing up the news press release....so does anyone know alot about these levels?? what does level 5 mean now that is different from level 4??

Unfortunately, it appears that many of the non-Mexico cases involve people who stayed in Cancun and were not in or around Mexico City.
