swine flu still a threat?

Today at the Friday prayer's, the usual doa before sujud on the second raka'at was not recited. I know for a fact that the doa was a prayer for protection against swine flu. But why did it stop? Do they think Swine Flu isn't a threat anymore?

Swine flu is now dubbed as 'unstoppable' and "at its highest" stated by the World Health Organization (WHO). To date it has affected almost 30,000 people worldwide from over 74 countries! Cnn has the update.

It is now declared a global flu pandemic. Neighboring countries like Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore has already been affected. Brunei is obviously ready, i knowing for a fact that we have all the right necessities and vaccines if the pandemic spreads here. But calling off the doa, will make people at ease and unaware of the dire situation that has come upon this world.

So please people, be very wary of your surroundings and be hygenic at all times.
We just need to pray it does not affect us.
