ORIGINAL: pahunkboy I am afraid that you do not understand. Under pandemic 6 level- all nations fall under WHO laws. Not US laws. We now are at level 6. 6 is the highest level of pandemic. That means people should be dying in the streets- popping over like flies. No, PA, you're the one who doesn't understand. You have no idea what you're talking about, man. A pandemic is not the "highest" level of pandemic; it is the only level of pandemic. There are 6 stages on the scale, and a disease outbreak does not become a pandemic until it reaches Level 6. Here is an explanation, from the WHO website. You may notice that "people dying in the streets" is not listed anywhere among the citeria - quote:
Phase 5 is characterized by human-to-human spread of the virus into at least two countries in one WHO region. While most countries will not be affected at this stage, the declaration of Phase 5 is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent and that the time to finalize the organization, communication, and implementation of the planned mitigation measures is short. Phase 6, the pandemic phase, is characterized by community level outbreaks in at least one other country in a different WHO region in addition to the criteria defined in Phase 5. Designation of this phase will indicate that a global pandemic is under way. Link If you read it closely, you may also notice there is no mention of "WHO laws" (whatever the heck those are), or how American citizens somehow "fall under" those laws. PA, you're a great guy, and i know you mean well, but you clearly lack the ability to tell the difference between stuff that makes sense and stuff that just doesn't even come close. You've got to turn off that damned radio and use the computer to surf porn instead of www.lunatic.com.
