“GENEVA (Reuters) – H1N1 swine flu has not peaked yet but seems to be waning in Canada and the United States, signaling that the end of the pandemic may be on the horizon, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday.

“A third wave of infections may still be ahead, Keiji Fukuda, the WHO’s top flu expert, said. But he added there was no sign of widespread resistance to Tamiflu, the main drug used to treat the H1N1 flu strain. (Emphasis added)

“I think it’s fair to say that we still haven’t fully gotten through the pandemic and that it is possible that there could be unexpected events which occur,” Fukuda told a news conference.

“It is quite possible to have a pandemic on the milder side. And if we are experiencing that and the number of serious cases is kept down, then it is something again for which we should all be thankful,” he said.” (Emphasis added)
