After being uncovered in the United States and Mexico in 2009, the swine flu killed almost 18,500 people while affecting 214 countries. This pandemic claimed it had exonerated the world health organization on two key counts. The organization's chief Margaret Chan critical questions where did WHO make the right call and was this a real pandemic? Were WHO decisions had any ties with the pharmaceutical industry? Did WHO declare a fake pandemic? On March 10, UN Health agency this failed to give guidance during the pandemic and there need to be revisions in the alert plans. There were rejected claims about WHO'S influence by interest in decision to state the pandemic.

I definitely remember when the swine flu hit North Carolina and it was a serious disease that had many people scared. This issue wasn't just in America but in so many other countries around the world. I feel that WHO did the right choice of calling the swine flu a pandemic because it affected so many people at one time. Im hope that the cure for this flu can reach others that has been affected.
