Good day folks!
As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), on June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) raised the worldwide pandemic alert level to Phase 6 in response to the ongoing global spread of the novel influenza A (H1N1) virus. A Phase 6 designation indicates that a global pandemic is underway.
More than 70 countries are now reporting cases of human infection with novel H1N1 flu. This number has been increasing over the past few weeks, but many of the cases reportedly had links to travel or were localized outbreaks without community spread. The WHO designation of a pandemic alert Phase 6 reflects the fact that there are now ongoing community level outbreaks in multiple parts of world.
WHO’s decision to raise the pandemic alert level to Phase 6 is a reflection of the spread of the virus, not the severity of illness caused by the virus.

The outbreak of the H1N1 Flu has caused much panic amongst the masses and there seems to be confusion all around. I think it's ok to be concerned about the situation, but panic is not warranted. Preparedness to deal with the recent H1N1 Flu is good, but preparedness by being ill-informed does not help the situation and this is exactly the sort of thing that creates panic.
