Travel restrictions won’t work to curb impending swine flu pandemic

swine flu virus Travel restrictions wont work to curb impending swine flu pandemicWorld Health Organisation (WHO) has said that travel restrictions and even health screens at airports for passengers who may have the swine flu won’t be effective in curbing a worldwide spread of the deadly disease and that a pandemic may well come about sooner than we thought. WHO has raised its alert level from Phase 3 to Phase 4, which means we are now just 2 levels away from a pandemic!

The situation looks rather gloomy as thousands of cases are being investigated in Mexico city. It is also fast spreading in the United States where more cases have been reported and the same is going on in Europe.

In Asia, South Korea is investigating a case whilst in Thailand a woman has been put in quarantine. Other parts of the world will likely see suspected cases cropping up. More deaths are predicted and this epidemic is likely to worsen the already gloomy economies of the world.

We’re in times full of fears and uncertainties. Are you worried? I am!
