Swine Flu Info Blog

I just want to see what other ppl's input is on this. Do you think we'll be raised to 6?, cause there's more states with cases and already one death. Or do you think we'll level off on 5? I hope we'll start to level off soon. My guess is that we'll stay at 5. Luckily, I live in a state with no cases and that it can be treated with Tamiflu.

I know the definition of pandemic level 6, but what does it mean in real terms? How many more confirmed cases and confirmed deaths would it take, and what geographical spread would be needed?
