WHO: Too Early to Say Flu Is Waning

Mexico, the origin of a worldwide swine flu outbreak, is allowing people to resume more normal activities this week. Officials there say they believe the flu is waning, the Associated Press reported. But the World Health Organization (WHO) says it is too soon to say if the outbreak is slowing down. More than 1,000 cases have been confirmed around the world. WHO says that a pandemic is “imminent.” Pandemic means that an outbreak is widespread. It is not necessarily severe.
