"The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a global flu pandemic after holding an emergency meeting.It means the swine flu virus is spreading in at least two regions of the world with rising cases being seen in the UK, Australia, Japan and Chile.
WHO chief Dr Margaret Chan said the move did not mean the virus was causing more severe illness or more deaths.
The swine flu (H1N1) virus first emerged in Mexico in April and has since spread to 74 countries.
Official reports say there have been nearly 30,000 cases globally and 141 deaths, with figures rising daily."
and don't call it the swine flu, the PC folks might get offended.
