H1N1

Here's an interesting article about H1N1. For those who don't want to take the time to read the whole thing, I'll sum up.

NO ONE is being tested for H1N1 anymore. If you have "flu like symptoms" you are assumed to have H1N1 and are counted as a "confirmed" case even though you weren't tested. When they were testing, it was found that approximately 80% of suspected cases didn't have ANY type of flu, and of the 20% that did have flu, approximately 80% of those were types other than H1N1. So if you hear that so-and-so has a "confirmed" case of H1N1, you can be about 95% sure that s/he has something else.

So how many deaths are there from H1N1, really? The answer: we have no idea, but a whole lot less than we're being told!
