Too Early To Call Off Pandemic

Though cases of H1N1 flu have dropped off, it’s too early to say the pandemic is over, says the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO declared the pandemic in June. Since then, millions of people have been infected with H1N1, or swine flu, and about 11,500 have died. Fewer people have died from H1N1 than from seasonal flu, but H1N1 causes more deaths in younger people.
