I just read the definitions of these alerts and Phase 5 says:
"Phase 5 is characterized by human-to-human spread of the virus into at least two countries in one WHO region. While most countries will not be affected at this stage, the declaration of Phase 5 is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent and that the time to finalize the organization, communication, and implementation of the planned mitigation measures is short."
There are confirmed cases in the US and Mexico which according to the site are in the same WHO region (the Americas)
So, why is it not phase 5?
NB: Phase 5 is RED! Fucking RED! This is much worse than phase 4 which is only blue.
