(WHO) - World Health Organization today raises its alert level over mexican swine flu from three to four - this is just 2 steps short of declaring a global pandemic.
Right now we face a crisis that could become worse than the 1918 Spanish Flu Epidemic. In that epidemic the mortality rate was 3% and 100 million people died worldwide. In contrast the mortality rate for new mexican swine flu is 10% and global population is much higher now. In fact we could face a death toll as high as 600 million people.
