TheLancet JAMA Swine flu sweeps the southern hemisphere - health - 09 July 2009 THE swine flu pandemic is intensifying. The White House will meet with state representatives on 9 July to discuss preparations for the autumn flu season in the US, while the UK has shifted its response to dealing with widespread infection.
