ATLANTA – Pregnant women should take prescription flu medicines if
they are diagnosed with the new swine flu, health officials said Tuesday.
So far, the swine flu has not proven to be much more dangerous than
seasonal influenza, and it's not clear whether or not pregnant women
catch swine flu more often than other people. But in general, flu poses
added risks for pregnant women, said Dr. Anne Schuchat of the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The curtain between two hospital beds does not stop noise from the television set,
offer privacy during sensitive conversations with doctors or stop germs from
spreading. Yet in most of America’s aging hospitals it is the only thing that separates
strangers thrust together as roommates simply because both are ill.

GENEVA – The World Health Organization told its member nations it was declaring a swine flu
pandemic Thursday — the first global flu epidemic in 41 years — as infections climbed in the
United States, Europe, Australia, South America and elsewhere.
In a statement sent to health officials, WHO said it decided to raise the pandemic warning level
from phase 5 to 6 — its highest alert — after holding an emergency meeting with its flu experts.
