WOW! a new strain of "Swine Flu' (a deadly threat). A new strain of Malaria (another deadly threat!)

Dunno, two threads started the same day, probably from news sources and announced with a few days of one another.
If I didn't have such respect and faith in NGOs, I might wonder if the WHO (not be confused with 'The Who') has another threat to world health up their sleeve. I might wonder if they were a bit worried about the "global economic downturn" affecting their coffers.

let me see, what can I find...

INTRODUCTION
1. In response to concerns expressed by Member States, the Director-General convened a
high-level consultation before the opening of the Executive Board’s 124th session on the impact of the
global financial and economic crisis. The objectives were:
(a) to build awareness of the ways in which an economic downturn may affect health spending, health services, health-seeking behaviour and health outcomes
(b) to make the case for sustaining investments in health; and
(c) to identify actions – including monitoring of early warning signs – that can help to mitigate the negative impact of economic downturns
Well they are aware that "All countries will be affected, but some will be affected more than others" I wonder how it will affect their organization, specifically?

Now..
The World Health Organization thinks the virus may be behind 60 deaths in Mexico since mid-March.
Seven non-fatal cases of a new form of swine flu have also been confirmed in the southern United States.
The strain of flu had been confirmed in at least 16 deaths, with 44 others being tested, the government said.
No fatal cases in the US? why? how many were infected with this NEW! IMPROVED! Swine flu in Mexico that didn't die? Seem to be a lot of "think that," "could be" and other vague phrases bandied about in the article.

In the US, experts say the seven people who fell ill across two states were suffering from a new form of swine flu that combined pig, bird and human viruses.
How is this "Flu Cocktail" concocted? Did they hold a meeting and decide to band together to form a "Super Sickness Coalition?"

Is all this Hoorah a slight exaggeration? Sensationalism?
When will the NEW! IMPROVED! Vaccine hit the market?
