Eva Kopacz, Polish Health Minister asks "… Has anybody, anywhere, announced a pandemic because of seasonal flu?"

Mexico was seen as a potential pandemic situation in America.

Ukraine I see now being called a pandemic, having been called a severe epidemic.

I am sorry - to be clear, Eva Kopacz was asking about the most usual flu virus, suggesting that no pandemic had ever been issued about it which kills a sizable number every year.

The point about the swine flu strain is that it is thought it may have the potential, should infections become wide enough, to mutate and combine with more common flu strains easily, perhaps killing large numbers of people around the world.

The way to go about being serious about the threats from a combination of swine flu, avian flu and more common influenza virus strains is, however, not what has occurred around the world between governments and drug companies.
