A growing number of swine flu cases in the U.S. and Mexico led the Obama administration to declare a public health emergency and release stockpiles of medicine.
New illnesses also were confirmed in Canada today, and suspected in Brazil, Europe and New Zealand. In the U.S., 20 people have contracted the disease in five states, and the number is likely to expand, said Dr. Richard Besser, acting chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at a White House briefing today. While those instances were mild and no one died, the disease may become “more severe,” he said.
World Health Organisation website has some problems I see.
