The White House was to update reporters on April 26, 2009 on US government efforts to combat a virulent new strain of swine flu that officials fear could reach global pandemic levels, officials said. The briefing comes as the epidemic is already suspected of killing 81 people in neighboring Mexico raising health concerns in the United States, where several cases have also now surfaced.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic White House from its south side, showcasing its grandeur and historical significance. Taken on October 29,2008, in Washington, DC, the image serves as a reminder of a pivotal moment in US politics. The photograph symbolizes the power and influence that emanates from within those walls. The timing of this particular snapshot is significant as it coincides with an important update on April 26,2009. Officials gathered at the White House to inform reporters about the government's efforts to combat a virulent new strain of swine flu that posed a potential global pandemic threat. With neighboring Mexico already experiencing casualties and cases emerging within the United States, health concerns were rapidly escalating. Against this backdrop of urgency and uncertainty, AFP photographer Karen Bleier masterfully captured not only the exterior beauty of the White House but also alluded to its role as a center for decision-making during critical times. The lush garden surrounding it adds an element of tranquility amidst these pressing matters. This print serves as both an illustration and a testament to history unfolding before our eyes—a visual representation of how political power intersects with public health crises. It reminds us that even in moments where chaos looms large, there are still symbols like the White House standing tall—representing resilience and leadership in times of adversity.
