The global swine flu threat is receding, but it could return in a far more deadly form in the fall. The warning was given Monday by Dr. Margaret Chan, head of the 193-nation World Health Organization.

That could cause a lethally dangerous global health problem on a comparable scale to the 1918 Spanish influenza epidemic that eventually infected more than 500 million people -- more than one-quarter of the human race -- and killed 10 percent of them. That death toll of 50 million was more than five times the total fatalities of World War I. The epidemic killed more Americans than died in World War I and World II combined.

Gostamos de viver num mundo organizado e que tente antecipar calamidades. Mas, isto parece-nos astrologia. Pior, este tipo de ambiente mediático pode ter outro tipo de objectivos, que são históricamente muito perigosos.
