Flu Outbreak Update

I'm attaching also the picture from the CNA; I find it also a nice variation on how the current swine flu outbreak is depicted... looking through other's eyes.

Belgium on Wednesday became the latest country hit by swine flu - a man from the Flemish city of Ghent who just returned from a trip to the US.

China and Hong Kong had also confirmed their second separate cases of H1N1 flu, both in passengers who flew in from North America, and stepped up the search for those who came into contact with them.

WHO's pandemic alert level remains at phase five while Singapore has lowered its flu alert level to "yellow". The Health Ministry says it will not upgrade its alert level to orange even if a few confirmed H1N1 cases do surface here as the reported case fatality of H1N1 is low - just 0.16 per cent.
