The World Health Organisation has officially declared a global influenza pandemic, in light of the swine flu pandemic.

In severe strains of flu, people have been known to turn into cartoons.
The declaration means that the swine flu virus has spread across at least two continents, with cases having arisen in the UK, Australia, Japan and Chile.
Official reports claim that there are almost 30,000 known cases globally, with 141 deaths and rising.
It is the first flu pandemic since 1968, in which about a million people died.
Mass panic is expected to ensue.
