As I said before, it's all a bit unreal over here - even the news on television doesn't mention what has happened to the H1N1 virus - you have to go searching for information.
Jokes about the infection are the only comments I ever hear, and then it's dismissed as trivial and hysteria by the rest of the world.
Typical New Zealand.
However, what is happening in the world beyond our island?
101 cases in England and the government has signed a contract for 90 million more vaccines (do they know something we don't?)
Japan has 176 infected people.
Mexico has 3103 cases of infection, including 68 deaths.
The U.S. has 4714 confirmed cases, including four deaths.
The outbreak worldwide has extended to 8,829 infections in 40 nations.
Health officials from more than 190 countries are meeting for the World Health Assembly in Geneva this week.
There have been three flu pandemics in the last 100 years.. did you know that?
