Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General, is giving an update on the swine flu. Here’s what she’s saying. 4:07 WHO is raising the pandemic alert level from phase 4 to phase 5. 4:09 “New diseases, by definition are poorly understood.” Influenza viruses are notorious for unpredictable behavior. 4:10 “All countries should immediately now activate their pandemic preparedness plans,” remain on alert for pneumonia and influenza-like illness. 4:11 “The biggest question right now is this: How severe will the pandemic be? … It is possible that the full clinical spectrum of this disease goes from mild illness to severe disease.” But more data is needed to answer the question more precisely. “We know influenza may cause mild disease in affluent societies, but more severe disease with higher mortality in developing countries.” 4:17 Regarding global availability of drugs that work to treat the swine flu: “I cannot give you a specific answer as to how much is available.” WHO has roughly 3.5 million doses of Tamiflu that were donated by Roche. “Clearly that’s not enough.” 4:18 “We need to maintain a level of calmness so we continue to manage this in a rational manner.” 4:21 Level five of the pandemic alert requires human-to-human transmission in a sustainable manner that is causing community-level spread in more than one country. We are seeing that in Mexico and the U.S. When we see two countries in one WHO region demonstrating that, we are moving into phase five. 4:26 Keiji Fukuda of the WHO is speaking. Going from phase 3 to phase 4 meant sustained human-to-human transmission. Five means we are early in the process of spreading from country to country. Phase six can mean we’re later in that process of spreading to other countries. 4:28 Chan: Not every country has the same level of preparedness and sophistication. Fukuda: Countries can improve surveillance on a basic level by monitoring patterns of disease. “Probably the single most important thing” is that the public is informed. 4:32 Other “social distancing” measures can be taken, depending in part on whether disease is severe or mild, such as closing schools. “If you are sick, if you have swine flu or any illness, it may be prudent to stay home until you get better.” 4:34 Some of the symptoms that we’re seeing in the mild cases are similar to regular, seasonal flu: headache, fever cough. In the more severe cases reported by Mexico, we see complications such as pneumonia.

4:07 WHO is raising the pandemic alert level from phase 4 to phase 5.
4:09 “New diseases, by definition are poorly understood.” Influenza viruses are notorious for unpredictable behavior.
4:10 “All countries should immediately now activate their pandemic
preparedness plans,” remain on alert for pneumonia and influenza-like
illness.
4:11 “The biggest question right now is this: How severe will the
pandemic be? … It is possible that the full clinical spectrum of this
disease goes from mild illness to severe disease.” But more data is
needed to answer the question more precisely. “We know influenza may
cause mild disease in affluent societies, but more severe disease with
higher mortality in developing countries.”
4:17 Regarding global availability of drugs that work to treat the
swine flu: “I cannot give you a specific answer as to how much is
available.” WHO has roughly 3.5 million doses of Tamiflu that were
donated by Roche. “Clearly that’s not enough.”
4:18 “We need to maintain a level of calmness so we continue to manage this in a rational manner.”
4:21 Level five of the pandemic alert requires human-to-human
transmission in a sustainable manner that is causing community-level
spread in more than one country. We are seeing that in Mexico and the
U.S. When we see two countries in one WHO region demonstrating that, we
are moving into phase five.
4:26 Keiji Fukuda of the WHO is speaking. Going from phase 3 to
phase 4 meant sustained human-to-human transmission. Five means we are
early in the process of spreading from country to country. Phase six
can mean we’re later in that process of spreading to other countries.
4:28 Chan: Not every country has the same level of preparedness and
sophistication. Fukuda: Countries can improve surveillance on a basic
