The economic recession has already caused an impact around the world. And again the outbreaks of swine flu also repeat that predicament by reaching Phase 5 and continuing widely spread across the regions. Worldwide there are currently about 1,500 confirmed cases of swine flu infection in at least 21 countries.
We did have a pandemic on the scale of the 1918 "Spanish Flu" outbreak, which infected around one third of the world's population and killed 50 million. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in China and Hong Kong that killed more than 700 people in 2003. Also cost the region between $18bn and $60bn in lost output - or 0.5-2.0% of regional GDP. Meanwhile, Swine flu many say it will be less this time, because the world is better prepared. And this virus seems a bit easier to treat.
The worlds economic will certainly drop in the immediate future if the flu is not perfectly prevented, yet. Both in travel and transportation business also, Imports and exports business and it might lead to bad relationship between countries also regions. Wars might occur, but only this time it is start with flu.
"The whole region has many people traveling. So the hot issue is how to control the disease without any damage to the business sector, the tourism, and the transportation economy. So the leaders have to use their own judgment and we really hope we can do that to minimize the damages," said Dr. Kumnuan Ungchusak, a senior expert in preventive medicine from the Ministry of Public Health.
