Ministers and experts began a meeting in Geneva to discuss how to fight the virus with vaccines and drugs, as well as what would trigger the WHO to declare a full pandemic.
“For the first time in humanity, we are seeing, or we may be seeing, pandemic influenza evolving in front of our eyes,” WHO Director-General Dr Margaret Chan told her U.N. agency’s World Health Assembly.
Dr Richard Besser, head of the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, told a high-level meeting during the week-long assembly that the new virus had spread to nearly all 50 U.S. states and showed no signs of abating.
