Australia flu 'may tip pandemic'
By Phil Mercer
BBC News, Sydney

A cruise ship scare helped spike swine flu infections in Australia

The World Health Organization has said that a sharp increase in swine flu cases in Australia may push it to finally announce a flu pandemic.

It would be the first such pandemic announced in four decades.

More than 1,200 people have contracted the virus in Australia, a four-fold increase in a week. [No fatalities.]

etc.
