Swine Flu: Is this the 'Big One?'
Public health experts have been warning us about the next flu pandemic. Is swine flu it?
It's too soon to tell, says Michael Osterholm, director of the University of Minnesota Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy.
“What makes this so difficult is we may be somewhere between an important but yet still uneventful public health occurrence here — with something that could literally die out over the next couple of weeks and never show up again — or this could be the opening act of a full-fledged influenza pandemic," Osterholm told Fox News.
“We have no clue right now where we are between those two extremes. That's the problem.”
