I was unaware we now have a pandemic...did I miss some news?
From Forbes, today:
SUNDAY, May 3 (HealthDay News) -- Although the number of swine flu cases continued to climb Sunday, the World Health Organization said there is no clear sign yet that the scope of the outbreak has reached pandemic proportions.

From FOX, of all places:
"U.S. health officials say they see "encouraging" signs that the new swine flu may be less severe than some had feared, but warned that Americans still need to take precautions to keep the virus contained. "
