  4. The U.S. government has declared swine flu to be a public health emergency.
    It remains to be seen how severe swine flu will be in the U.S. and elsewhere, but countries worldwide are monitoring the situation closely and preparing for the possibility of a pandemic.
    The World Health Organization has not declared swine flu to be a pandemic. The WHO (World Health Organization) wants to learn more about the virus first and see how severe it is and how deeply it takes root.
