When a pandemic isn't a pandemic
www.cnn.com...

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- When the World Health Organization raised its influenza pandemic alert from a Phase 4 to a Phase 5 last week, there was a bit of a gasp heard round the world.

After all, Phase 5 "is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent," according to WHO.

"All countries should immediately activate their pandemic preparedness plans," the organization's director-general, Dr. Margaret Chan, said Wednesday. "After all, it really is all of humanity that is under threat during a pandemic."

But the word "pandemic" isn't quite as scary as it sounds, explained David Ozonoff, professor of environmental health at the Boston University School of Public Health.
