Yes, the A-H1N1/09 pandemic Swine Flu is called a pandemic because it is a very contagious strain of virus and has spread all over the world rapidly since it started in late March 2009.

It has been estimated by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that world wide during the approximate six month period from from April to mid October 2009, there have been probably 22 million people who have had A-H1N1/09 swine flu, and maybe as many as 34 million.
