international concern, its “highest level of alarm”, last month when there were fewer than 100 cases outside China...It is well past that and likely very difficult to contain
The most likely reason WHO has not formally declared this a pandemic yet is due to an earlier mistake on their part. They declared the 2009 H1N1 swine flu outbreak a pandemic, which turned out to be mild, leading to some criticism after pharmaceutical companies rushed development of vaccines and drugs.
