WHO Phase 5 Alert

GENEVA (AP) - The World Health Organization has raised its pandemic alert for swine flu to the second highest level, meaning that it believes a global outbreak of the disease is imminent. WHO says the phase 5 alert means there is sustained human-to-human spread in at least two countries. It also signals that efforts to produce a vaccine will be ramped up. Ref. USAToday

What I think people need to understand is that you can not get the swine flu by eating pork products. People are so panicy that they now feel that being near a pig or pork product that they will get this disease. I think people are stupid in many ways.

If you take your time to wash frequently and follow normal preventive procedures you may never get sick with the swine flu or any other sickness. Why do you think it has been a long time since I actually have been sick? I have not taken a sick day for myself in over 15 years of work.
