The World Health Organization told countries to continue to fight the swine flu outbreak and not lower their guard. The WHO has confirmed almost 900 cases across the world and has not been able to tell whether or not the outbreak has peaked in Mexico. The warning came after the Mexican Health Minister Jose Cordova said that the virus outbreak had peaked the previous week. WHO official Gregory Hartl said, “There is a high possibility that this virus will come back, especially in colder periods.” An expert from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said, “Virtually all of the United States probably has this virus circulating now… That doesn’t mean that everybody’s infected, but within the communities, the virus has arrived.” The cases in America are expected to become more severe as the virus was already widespread.
