Its not just WHO. Just about anyone paying attention knows that the looming pandemic will be a VERY big problem. the big question is whether it will be this year or next. The virus clearly has the upper hand.

WHO is actually pretty conservative. WHO and CDC used very low case fatality numbers for SARS, which they had to revise up to the real number.

They are also starting low on avian flu. The number of deaths could top 1 Billion
