The World Health Organization has now increased it’s pandemic alert to phase 5 which means there has been human-to-human spread of the H1N1 virus (swine flu) into two or more countries. Most of the cartoonist commenting on the recent events surrounding swine influenza took the ‘just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse approach’ but this piece by Varvel was just a little bit different. In underscoring some of the basics for avoiding the spread of contagious disease, it actually made me chuckle. What about you?
