As of May 6, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported 642 human cases of swine flu in 41 states. The World Health Organization has declared a Phase 5 pandemic alert level, meaning the virus is capable of significant human-to-human transmission. As a result, schools have been closed, and President Obama has advised sick employees not to go to work and sick children not to attend school.
