Not that I'm aware of.  Since I first became aware of H5N1 and have been following that, it's always been at 3.  Now we have this swine flu all of a sudden, and it's serious.

I agree according to their criteria...at least a 5.  Very early stage though.
 
I'm right behind ya Killt :)
 
this is very mild so far.
 
and...
 
and, we have heard varius numbers on the death rate from that very different pandemic, here is more from wikipedia
 
500,000 to 675,000 died.[18]
 
No Need to Panic.
 
We have had Pandemics before with No Social Unrest.
 
In 1929-1930......There was a Pandemic of Porcine A/SW/31
 
In 1947..........    there was a Pandemic of  A/FM/1/47/H1N1
 
In 1957.............there was a Pandemic of  A/SING/1/57/H2N2
 
In 1968-1969..... there was a Pandemic of  A/HK/1/68 / H3N2
 
In 1976 ............there was a limited epidemic of   (porcine) SWh1n1
 
In 1977.............there was a Pandemic   A/USSR/90/77/ H1N1
 
The data demonstrate that the A/USSR/90/77 strain is a recombinant virus.
