how do you know they've upped it to level 5? link.
Its like 20 mins away from me :o

nothing interesting then
What she is really saying, 'We are on level 6 but we don't want to tell you about it' and that the 'whole of humanity is under threat.' 'Government needs to prepare everyone and begin there pandemic plans' 'They don't have all the answers'
Bloody useless and well woo we are saved because Gordon Brown is dispatching leaflets? Wow
level 5 my arse. those infected are "responding well to antiviral treatment".
think about the common cold - constantly mutating, kills thousands a year.
this is just another version of the common cold - but because it's got a new DNA structure not seen before, it gets all this media hype.
if this is a level 5 virus then the common cold should be around level 6?
No, this can spread globally EXTREMELY quickly. No-one has 100% knowledge on this virus so they can't garenteen a the anti-viral will continue working as it mutates and changes. This they said can hit in waves and can even go on for 18+ months.
Yeah 36000 die in the US from the flu but this can kill tons more.
Developing countrys are at a high risk because they can't afford to buy the anti-virals, so it has the possibility of killing millions in the poorer countrys.
